On June 28, 1983, an actor vanished from the 47th floor of a hotel in Shinjuku.

Masaya Oki, 31 years old.

Detective Scotch, Ichimatsu of Hissatsu, Masato Aso of Oretachi wa Tenshi da—
He was a star actor who captivated Japan from the 1970s to the 1980s.

However, for 40 years, his name has been associated with scandal.

The words in his suicide note became a source of ridicule, and his acting was forgotten.

This time, we will tell the story from a different perspective.

Why did a 16-year-old boy head to Tokyo all alone?

Why did a man called a "charismatic star" take his own life at the age of 31?

And who was the "father" he called out in his final moments?

Born into a prestigious family descended from Kusunoki Masashige, yet his family fell apart.

This is the story of a boy who, at the age of 16, found himself alone, and the man he met.

A human drama based on facts, depicting the boy before he became a star and the loneliness he experienced afterward—"Voices that Lived Through an Era."
