Editing Tokyo Decadence (section)

==Plot==
Ai, a timid 22-year-old college student in [[Tokyo]], works as a prostitute for an exclusive [[escort agency]] that caters to wealthy, perverted men. To please her clients, Ai has to play out elaborate fantasy scenarios involving sexual humiliation and light [[sadism and masochism|sadomasochism]]/[[bondage (BDSM)|bondage]].

Ai visits a fortune-teller, played by [[Yayoi Kusama]], who advises her to find a "pink stone", and then fashion it into a ring. The fortune teller also advises Ai to put a telephone directory under her television, and to avoid a gallery in the east. When she later loses the ring she risks her life to recover it.

Ai shows an emotional connection to one of her clients, another sex worker who is a female dominant and who Ai clearly admires. She confides to this client that she has unrequited love for the gallery artist, and Ai's client tells her that she must live life to the fullest otherwise she will be filled with regrets. She tells Ai that she must confront this part of her life then she can move forward as her future will be hers.

Taking the advice of her female client, and an unidentified drug which her client gave her to provide her with the courage of lions, she becomes dangerously inebriated and fails in an attempt to meet her ex lover.

She meets the artist's wife who sings for her, saying that it's a great audience even though Ai is the only other person present. The wife says that they were previously rivals but because the artist is in dementia the rivalry is over and they can be friends. The wife is then collected by her nurse who says that if anything happens to the wife she will be held responsible. After Ai attempts to break into the artist's house the police are called and take her into custody. She is rescued from the police by the artist's wife who is said to have once been a great singer but is now crazy.

Throughout the film, Ai's movements have been timid and stiff and her posture demure. After the credits there is a sequence of her dancing on stage boldly and fluidly thus finalizing her growth in to her new future.
