Overview:	Tokyo Zance was suggested by 1999's British hit "Tube Tales." Six well-known Japanese directors from various genres and one of the hottest actresses from Hong Kong, Kelly Chen contributed to this omnibus film with their impressions of life in Tokyo. "Tsunku Town" is a midnight TV show with the aim of discovering and highlighting talented young people. Tsunku, the mayor, decided to invest one hundred million yen ($1 million) of his own money in an effort to allow young talent the chance to make their own films. The filmmaking process is introduced in the program. Films included are as follows: An Exceedingly Kind Country Directed by Takashi Matsuo Japan is full of exceedingly considerate announcements. Everywhere you go you are told what to do and buses are no exception. Our middle-aged hero has endured these annoying announcements for years. His complaints to the bus company meet with little success until one day his anger reaches its peak and he swings into action. Tokyo Escalator Directed by Naoko Nozawa Emi, once a famous opera singer, is now reduced to wandering the city searching for a stage to perform on. One day she discovers a strange escalator which seems never to end. When she finally does reach the top she encounters a theater of the absurd from which she can never be free. The Promise Directed by Kelly Chan (Wai Lam, Kelly Chen) One day a young man who is tired of his routine life visits an amusement park. As a boy, he played there with his classmates and they all promised to meet there again in ten years. He runs into a beautiful girl and they ride on the Ferris wheel together. As they talk about their memories he realizes that she is actually an old classmate, one he had loved dearly, one who died years ago. But if she is dead...then what does that make him? Tokyo Scale Directed by Shin Yamagishi The story of an ancient weighing machine in a Tokyo bathhouse. After 35 years of faithful service the scale is being phased out. Filled with memories of all those lovely ladies who have checked their weight the scale falls in love with Sanae, a beautiful girl who is desperate to lose two kilos by nightfall. He does his best to make her happy, but it ends in tragedy. The "Apparently" Form Directed by Katsuhiko Hibino One of Japan's leading modern artists, Katsuhiko Hibino has produced some stunning images suggestive of freedom and loneliness. A man who lives on the roof of a Shinjuku building. A woman standing in a field surrounded by wooden clogs. Welcome to the fantastic world as seen by Hibino. Running Free Directed by Takanori Jinnai Two primary school boys are studying hard in preparation for junior high school entrance examinations. One is the son of a police inspector, the other is the son of a Yakuza gangster. They have been rivals since they entered school and their fathers are also rivals who expect their son to be the best at everything. The school Field and Track Day has come and the two boys are prepared for the fight of their lives. Which one will win? Mach 85 Directed by Kazuna Iida Tomiko is troubled when she runs short of umeboshi, Japanese pickled plums, an essential part of anyone's daily lunch box. Four old men race their favorite machines, electric wheelchairs, in a bid to secure the pickled plums, and Tomiko's heart.
