00:00A few days later
00:01The next day
00:04The next day, she had to go to the hospital
00:09I've lost a lot of hair
00:13Oh
00:14Yeah
00:21There's a lot of white hair on my lungs
00:28It's cold
00:29Now
00:31I wonder how many times she's reset her life
00:35Take it off, take it off
00:36Take it off until you go to the hospital
00:54How are you feeling?
00:55The lungs are...
00:57Yeah, it's in a state where the immune system is a little weak
01:01But the lungs are normal
01:03It's just that I can't breathe
01:07Manami Hoshi, 57 years old
01:11The oldest active stripper in Japan
01:14She was fighting against the side effects of antibiotics
01:19It's completely gone
01:21Yeah, it's like this
01:24Even if I touch it a little, my scalp hurts
01:28I can't use the brush
01:30Oh, it hurts?
01:31Yeah, it hurts so much that it jumps up
01:35So I think I have to come before that
01:38Hasn't that passed yet?
01:40Yeah, since the 23rd
01:42Is that when it starts to hurt?
01:44Yeah, like...
01:47About half a year ago, Manami found cancer in her right lung
01:52She was undergoing a major surgery to remove a part of it
01:57After the surgery, she was treated with antibiotics
02:00Manami's hair also fell off mercilessly
02:07But really...
02:09I'm glad I cut it
02:11Maybe the volume came out
02:13Yeah, that's right
02:14I'm glad
02:15If it's like this, you don't have to wear a hat
02:17I don't know at all
02:19Look
02:21It's okay
02:22It's okay, right?
02:23Yes
02:26Manami will be turning 20 in two years
02:29The stage is so energetic that you can't feel the age
02:34Not only men are being shown her dance
02:43She also grasps the hearts of women
02:46The stripper who attracted many female fans to the theater
02:50That was Manami Hoshi
02:53Rather than as a woman
02:55I think it's more correct to say as a dancer
03:00It's amazing, how do you say it?
03:02There's a part where I'm an entertainer
03:04There's a part where I'm a woman
03:07I'll go after all
03:09And it's a personality, after all
03:11That's where it is
03:13The last time I was on this show
03:16I was interviewed
03:19Right after that
03:21I was diagnosed with cancer
03:23When I was in the hospital
03:26When I was in surgery
03:28They gave me messages
03:31They supported me a lot
03:38Manami, who supported female fans fighting cancer
03:41She's in the same position now
03:44It all started two years ago
03:50She remembers the discomfort of her body
03:53When she was examined
03:57There's a tumor here
04:00There are three lungs
04:03I'm going to remove this one
04:08It's pretty big
04:13There's a possibility that there's cancer in the lower right lung
04:17She was diagnosed with cancer
04:19And had surgery
04:23A major surgery that took eight hours
04:26What was waiting for her was
04:28Painful oral cancer treatment
04:32I can't say anything
04:35I don't know how to say it
04:37It's a lightness
04:39It suddenly gets hot
04:44It's hard to breathe
04:48I wonder what's going on
04:50It's just a little walk
04:53It feels like it's started again
04:58There's no skin here
05:02The hot water is jumping up
05:05It hurts
05:07It always hurts
05:11I'm home
05:13After the oral cancer treatment
05:15She goes home to her mother
05:18Thank you
05:22Manami lives with her 82-year-old mother
05:27I have to wash all of this
05:33I'll go over there
05:38It's been about six months
05:40Since Manami has been suffering from
05:42Painful oral cancer treatment
05:45Her mother has been taking care of her
05:48So that she doesn't get hurt
05:52Manami's room is on the second floor of her house
05:59This is a room for her treatment
06:03It's also a room where she can
06:05Think about her life
06:09Manami's room
06:17The hair is still there
06:20The hair is still there?
06:22Yes
06:23Where?
06:25Here?
06:28I see
06:37This is a hair roll
06:39A hair roll?
06:40Yes
06:42This is a hot water bottle
06:44I see
06:46The best way to cool it down
06:48Is to make the cancer happy
06:50I'm home
06:56I'm done for today
06:58The oral cancer treatment
07:04She has been forced to live
07:07With the harsh reality of life
07:12Manami was a middle school student
07:15Her life was rough
07:18She was tricked into being a model
07:23She got married when she was 19
07:25She had cancer
07:27She got a divorce when she was 21
07:30She became an actress
07:32And then she became a stripper
07:35When she was 23
07:39She was deceived by people she trusted
07:42And she was in debt
07:49She became an actress again
07:54She couldn't give up
07:57When she was 37
07:59She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer
08:02She was operated on
08:04And then she worked as a hotel maid
08:08She had a long life
08:10She came back to the strip scene
08:13When she was 45
08:19She has been a stripper
08:21For 12 years
08:23Even when she was 57
08:25Her body was still the same
08:28And she was in her prime
08:30She was good at bridging
08:33The biggest show
08:36How long can she do this?
08:42Her mother came with her
08:45She has been watching her daughter
08:48For 11 years
08:5111 years ago
08:53When she was 71
08:55Her father passed away
08:57And her life was rough
09:01I don't know why my family is like this
09:05I think about it all year long
09:08By myself
09:10I don't tell my daughter
09:13I don't know
09:15The operation started
09:17When she had ovarian cancer
09:21I don't know what to do
09:24I'm really having a hard time
09:30As a mother
09:34I want her to be healthy
09:37She's only 60
09:39She's still young
09:41But it must be hard for her
09:45She's 60
09:47She should quit
09:49She has a lot of work
09:51She can do anything
09:55Actually, she was thinking
09:57About quitting the operation
09:59Three times
10:01But
10:03This is the result of the operation
10:08It was going down
10:10Until January
10:12February
10:14March
10:18And in April
10:23Her hair has come out
10:30This side, too
10:33A lot
10:35It came out
10:37The hairdresser
10:39Tried to hide it
10:41With her hair
10:43But she couldn't hide it
10:45For a long time
10:52The more she uses medicine
10:54And the more she resists
10:56Her feelings and body become weak
10:59Ms. Manami
11:01Was 58 years old
11:03Rather than losing my strength
11:05And continue the treatment
11:07With the ovarian cancer
11:09I decided to quit
11:11And put my life
11:13Into the stage
11:15Until the rest of my life
11:17I realized
11:19That this is
11:21What I have to do
11:23I realized
11:25That this is
11:28What I have to do
11:30And what I have to do
11:32Is to put my life
11:34Into the stage
11:36I realized
11:38That this is not
11:40What I have to do
11:42For the rest of my life
11:44So I decided
11:46To quit the surgery
11:48And put my life
11:50Into the stage
11:52Until the rest of my life
11:54I decided
11:56To quit the surgery
11:59It was a big decision
12:01To stop the ovarian cancer treatment
12:04The balance
12:06It doesn't go back
12:08It's wobbly
12:10This side
12:12It's totally fine
12:18Because the flow of blood doesn't go up
12:22It's always here
12:24So that's how high it is.
12:26Yes, I have to be supported like this.
12:33The window frame of my house is being supported.
12:41I can't see it.
12:46It hurts.
12:49Where does it hurt?
12:51This part of the hip joint.
12:54It must have become stiff.
13:01I'm coughing.
13:08I'm coughing.
13:11Are you okay?
13:16Is it okay to exercise?
13:18It's okay.
13:19Because I'm going on stage.
13:23You can't ask me that kind of question.
13:27It's okay.
13:28Because I'm going on stage.
13:37I have a strong desire to be on stage.
13:41There was a fan in the background.
13:49Manami's fans, who call themselves Hoshigumi, come to support him from all over the country.
13:58I'm Shiga.
14:00I'm Hikone.
14:02Where are you from?
14:04I'm from Ishinomya, Aichi Prefecture.
14:10I go to various places all over the country.
14:13I'm just here because I saw it.
14:16You saw it?
14:18I don't feel like a guest.
14:21I'm in a position to be supported.
14:25It's a kind of illness.
14:28One of the members of Hoshigumi, Su-san.
14:32Although he is a Makigan, he went to Manami from Nagasaki.
14:39My back and chest hurt.
14:42Does it hurt?
14:44My skin hurts a lot.
14:46I see.
14:52Su-san and Manami met 11 years ago.
14:56After retiring from the police force, they met Manami and continued to support her.
15:04Su-san's handwriting, which resonates in the castle, has always reached Manami's heart.
15:12Thank you. Thank you for your birthday.
15:14Thank you for your birthday.
15:16Thank you for coming.
15:18I'm sorry.
15:19Su-san.
15:23It was a good birthday. Thank you.
15:30Su-san, bye-bye.
15:33In August 2022, Su-san left.
15:42One month left until the 58th birthday event.
15:47Manami has begun to move in earnest.
15:53Meeting with Mi-chan, who has been making costumes for the stage for many years.
15:59Mi-chan.
16:01Finally, the costume meeting.
16:04I'm fine.
16:08My body is very relaxed now.
16:15My chest hurts a little.
16:19I thought it would be okay to do it once.
16:22Once?
16:23My shoulders are up, but I'm fine.
16:26Then lower it back.
16:28Lower it.
16:29And here.
16:31Make it clean.
16:33You said you wanted sleeves, but I can't put them on.
16:38I see.
16:42I lost weight because I had an eye surgery.
16:44I had a lot of volume because I'm thin.
16:49The back is really...
16:51It's not a skull, it's a scapula.
16:56The bones are hidden.
16:58The bones are hidden.
17:00Right, Mi-chan?
17:04Did you all remake it?
17:06That's right.
17:08This was also planned to be released in the summer.
17:11It's a Mugiwara hat set.
17:15The rhinestone was good.
17:17It's amazing.
17:18One by one.
17:19There are more than 1,000 of them.
17:21That's amazing.
17:23Figure skating.
17:25Did you make it all?
17:26Yes.
17:27That's amazing.
17:28It's amazing.
17:30This glitter.
17:32Everyone's eyes are here.
17:35Mi-chan, not me.
17:37Everyone's eyes are here.
17:39If it's not glittering, you'll say boo-boo.
17:41That's right.
17:43The dancing girl's life is glittering.
17:46I'm looking forward to it.
17:48I feel like I've been on stage enough.
17:56The costumes are decided, and it's time for the actual training.
18:00However, there is only one month left until the actual stage.
18:06I'm worried about how much my condition will recover.
18:13I have to prepare everything from the set to the equipment myself.
18:19It's tough.
18:21That's right.
18:23But when I thought I'd be on stage again,
18:29I feel like I've grown even more.
18:34I've had a chance to live,
18:37so I hope I can come up with a good idea for a good stage.
18:45I had a lung operation the other day,
18:48so I thought I couldn't wear a kimono.
18:52I can finally move.
18:55I can wear a kimono.
18:57Maybe.
18:59Maybe.
19:01Maybe I can wear a kimono.
19:03Also, it's a matter of physical strength.
19:05The kimono is the most difficult.
19:09My hip joints are in pain again.
19:14I hate it.
19:18It's heavy.
19:21Maybe I should stop.
19:23It's too heavy.
19:27It's not supposed to be like this.
19:29Ouch.
19:35Everything hurts.
19:41Manami decided to quit the operation and stand on the stage.
19:46She can't keep up with the momentum.
19:51She can't keep up with the momentum.
20:01She's exhausted from all the training.
20:06But she still tries her best.
20:16I'm exhausted.
20:18I'm exhausted.
20:20Ouch.
20:28Manami, you look tired.
20:30Yes.
20:32Did something happen?
20:35I'm tired.
20:37I owe him a lot.
20:46He passed away yesterday.
21:04I got a call from the police.
21:10I was the last one to talk to the police.
21:18I got a call from the police.
21:24I told them I was at the scene of his death.
21:34It was April 17th.
21:38Manami's old fan, Mr. Kodoku, passed away.
21:45He didn't wait for me when I was about to come back.
21:51He didn't wait for me when I was about to come back.
21:55Following Mr. Kodoku, another important fan passed away.
22:02I wanted to see the stage of his comeback.
22:06I wanted to see the stage of his comeback.
22:15But I can't afford to lose.
22:20I have to dance at the birthday event in a month.
22:24I have to dance at the birthday event in a month.
22:26I have to dance at the birthday event in a month.
22:45I'm out of breath.
23:01She has to keep track of the time before the show.
23:06She has to keep track of the time before the show.
23:11A stripper is not only physically strong,
23:15but also a great entertainer.
23:20Manami has been doing that.
23:25Even if she gets cancer, she will overcome it.
23:32She is going to the stage of the 58th birthday event.
23:41May 25, 2024
23:51May 25, 2024
23:55The day of Manami's birthday event.
23:59There are flowers for her birthday.
24:03There are flowers for her birthday.
24:12In the same dressing room, there is Ruri.
24:20Long time no see, Ruri.
24:26As usual.
24:28What did you say?
24:30As usual.
24:33What did you say?
24:35Don't forget the stage.
24:39I have to go to the stage.
24:41I have to go to the stage.
24:44I have to go to the stage.
24:54Ruri has been a stripper for 10 years.
24:58She has grown up to be a great dancer.
25:05Manami has been watching her.
25:12She has an aura.
25:17It's impossible to replace Ruri in her 20s.
25:23I was very dark.
25:27That's right.
25:30Loneliness.
25:32Ruri likes to change the brightness into happiness.
25:39I'm learning it.
25:42I can't be negative.
25:45Manami is very close to her juniors.
25:49She cares for the young dancers.
25:53She asks the dancers to buy something for her.
25:58It's hard to order according to each dancer's taste.
26:11The stairs are too narrow.
26:14It hurts today.
26:19Are you okay?
26:21It hurts today.
26:24I'll buy it later.
26:26I'll buy it later.
26:29What was it?
26:32What was it?
26:35I'll buy it later.
26:38I'll buy it later.
26:41I'll buy it later.
26:48Ayumi.
26:50I'm sorry.
26:54Which one is yours?
27:00This one.
27:02I don't have Nobara's.
27:05I think this is Nobara's.
27:08I don't have yours.
27:10I'm going to buy it now.
27:13Tea latte.
27:15Tea latte.
27:18Ayumi's.
27:21Ayumi.
27:23What was it?
27:25I drank it on the first day.
27:28It's a cafe latte.
27:30It's an iced cafe latte.
27:32Matcha is not iced.
27:35It's hot.
27:38I can't help it.
27:41I can't help it.
27:44Please drink it.
27:48It's iced.
27:51It was hot matcha.
27:55Can I drink it?
27:57Of course.
28:02Please take two.
28:05Like this.
28:07Thank you for the cute plates.
28:11It's a great morning.
28:15It's a double-double pin.
28:19Momoka's third week of her debut.
28:22She had a lot of things to do.
28:26Momoka, do you go to Jochi University?
28:29I'm from Jochi.
28:31What would you do if your parents didn't tell you?
28:35My parents...
28:38My parents went bankrupt.
28:45Both of them?
28:47I think they went back to the stars.
28:50When did they go bankrupt?
28:53About 10 years ago.
28:57After you graduated?
28:59That's right.
29:01My brother was in college.
29:04I had a hard time.
29:09Various dramas are set up at the stripper's dressing room.
29:17Ayame, who lives in the theater.
29:21I woke up once in the morning.
29:24I had a stomachache.
29:27I thought I had to take medicine.
29:32I took the medicine.
29:40Why did you want to be a stripper?
29:43My friend told me to do it.
29:46I wanted to do it, too.
29:50My parents told me not to do it.
29:57I've never done anything like this in my life.
30:04I cried and said,
30:06I'll do it.
30:09My brother convinced me.
30:16I'm not a stripper anymore.
30:22My brother told me that stripping is a culture.
30:29No Fiction was broadcast the next day.
30:35It was broadcast in my neighborhood.
30:38I saw a conversation between Manami and her mother.
30:45I was a little surprised.
30:50My mother seemed to have something to say.
30:55That's when I changed my mind.
31:00She said she wanted to see Manami's performance live someday.
31:06She said she didn't have the courage to come to the theater yet,
31:09but she wanted to see my performance someday.
31:16Ayame asked Manami for a lesson to teach her how to move her body beautifully.
31:29A pose that mimics the Shachi walk.
31:35Do it in front of the mirror.
31:38Look at your face and do it in front of the mirror.
31:41Don't cover your face.
31:48You decide where you want to go first, right?
31:51Yes.
32:04Then slowly.
32:12Ayame, you have to prepare for this.
32:18Then you enter like this.
32:20You're not a gymnast.
32:23I want newcomers to be fresh.
32:29If Ayame does it powerfully,
32:32she can't do it perfectly,
32:36but she can see the roughness,
32:40personality, and toughness.
32:44The way you pose is different for people in their 20s and 30s.
32:54I'm 58 years old.
32:58If I do this,
33:03I'll be seen as if I were a woman.
33:08I have to enter like this.
33:14So if you remember one thing,
33:20when you pose beautifully,
33:23your legs don't go up at all.
33:31It's not that your legs don't go up,
33:34but you put a lot of weight on this side.
33:38It's a lot of pressure on one leg.
33:45This knee can't go up.
33:54Can I do it with the other leg?
33:57Of course.
34:02I'm sorry for making you look bad.
34:08The strip jumps into the water.
34:11It's a world where you can live because of your daily efforts.
34:16In addition, a harsh reality called the phenomenon of the theater is being pushed on.
34:23How many years can we continue?
34:28Rumor has it that it won't last five years.
34:33I sometimes wonder if I can dance until my nose opens.
34:41I wonder how I can continue my work.
34:46If this disappears, I probably won't do it.
34:50What do you eat?
34:52I usually go to a convenience store or a hotel.
34:56I go back to my original job.
34:59I don't go back to my original job.
35:03I've been a customer for about 10 years since I became a member of society.
35:09A while ago, I went to an apparel store and a suit shop.
35:15I see.
35:17I want more people to know and see strip dancing.
35:28I feel alive.
35:31I feel like I'm doing my best.
35:36I feel like I'm doing my best.
35:40Manami's birthday event is about to begin.
35:48On this day, an unexpected person appeared in the theater.
35:54I heard Su-san's laughter.
35:56Su-san's laughter?
35:57No, Su-san's younger sister.
36:00A loud voice?
36:01Yes.
36:04Su-san's younger sister was coming.
36:09Su-san's younger sister was coming.
36:17Su-san's younger sister was coming.
36:22Su-san's younger sister was coming.
36:24Do they look alike?
36:26They look like each other when they take off their masks.
36:29It's like Su-san wearing a girl's wig.
36:34Then they are Su-san.
36:36Su-san and Su-san are like brothers.
36:41In August 2022, Su-san, a member of Hoshigumi,
36:46continued to support Manami with her family.
36:52I received a letter from Su-san's younger sister.
36:57Really?
37:00What does it say?
37:04I didn't know what kind of life my brother was leading.
37:09When I looked into his room after he died,
37:12I found out that he was addicted to drugs.
37:15I was very shocked.
37:18I knew right away that Manami Hoshima was his favorite.
37:24I found a DVD and decided to watch The No Fiction.
37:33I wanted to know why my brother was so addicted.
37:39But in the end, I received a very kind word from Hoshigumi and Manami,
37:44saying,
37:46Please take care of your health.
37:55I'm glad that my family acknowledged me.
38:02I'm glad I continued this job.
38:06I thought so again.
38:10I didn't expect Su-san's younger sister to have a day like this.
38:23It's been three years already.
38:29Thank you for the meal.
38:38It's a stage for a 58-year-old man who risked his life to create it.
39:02I want to thank many people who have supported me so far.
39:08And I want to dance the best I can to breathe new life into myself as a stripper.
39:19Manami sent Su-san's younger sister to the station after the performance.
39:26This is a present from my younger sister.
39:29Oh, really?
39:31Yes.
39:32My younger sister said,
39:34I came here with my brother.
39:37Su-san doesn't have a photo.
39:40There's only one photo we took together.
39:44It's been a long time since I saw Su-san's face.
39:47Me, too.
39:51You've been wearing a mask all the time.
39:53That's right.
39:55Su-san's face is like that.
39:57I see.
40:00I've been taking off my mask since I was 15 years old.
40:03I see.
40:05I've been taking off my mask since I was 15 years old.
40:08I see.
40:11I've been taking off my mask since I was 15 years old.
40:15I've been taking off my mask until I was admitted to the hospital.
40:20That's what I decided.
40:23Even after I was admitted to the hospital, I'm still a stripper.
40:28I wondered if I should live like that.
40:33Manami's heart started to beat again at the age of 58.
40:38It seemed like she was going to give it her all once again.
40:57Manami Hoshi, who seemed to have been hit by a stripper on the beach,
41:02was able to move her body more than expected at the 58-year-old's birthday event.
41:23Manami Hoshi's stage was illuminated by the enthusiasm of the fans.
41:32Manami Hoshi's performance was a success.
41:42When I look at Manami's stage, I feel like she's alive.
41:47I'm glad I could come.
41:50Her dance is great, but her aura as a human being,
41:54which is emitted from her body, is amazing.
41:58I'm so happy that I can celebrate her birthday with a smile on my face and expression.
42:18When she started dancing, I could see that she was getting better.
42:25I think the stage is her life.
42:33I want you to do it the way you want.
42:35Do I hold the handle?
42:37At first, yes. I remember that.
42:39But I'm more happy with the background.
42:42It's old-fashioned and good.
42:45Do you know what I mean?
42:47The helmet feels old-fashioned.
42:50Do you know what I mean?
42:52You look like you're dressed up for a commercial.
42:58On the birthday stage, the duo with Ruri, Beauty Sisters, also came back.
43:05The theater was lit up.
43:08The fans were relieved to see Manami in good health.
43:13Manami's birthday party
43:17Happy birthday, Manami!
43:32If I could stand on the stage again after this,
43:37I would be happy.
43:40I got another life, so I don't think I'm happy.
43:47I think my life is full of pain.
43:50But I'm happy.
43:52I'm happy now.
43:56Manami's birthday party
44:07It's been a month since the birthday event full of hope.
44:13I'm 39 kg again.
44:16I thought I had cancer.
44:19I'm losing weight.
44:22I thought I was the same as before.
44:26I'm depressed now.
44:28The lymph nodes at the base of the left foot are swollen.
44:39I've never made this before.
44:43Ambulance box?
44:45What's that?
44:47Manami decided to continue dancing until her cancer was cured.
44:52Once again, the shadow of the disease...
