Miyuki, a waitress in a café in Tokyo develops an obsessive crush on grimy young rock musician Yoshinori. She takes to bringing in his garbage bags and rifling through his refuse. Collecting his smoked cigarette ends in a jar, cutting out pictures from discarded magazines, and wearing his shredded denim jacket - the ultimate trophy - in the privacy of her own room, she begins to identify with him through the by-products of his day to day existence.

The acting by Mami Nakamura is good, and I like the way director Ryuichi Hiroki frames a lot of his shots. Some may find it unnecessarily voyeuristic (Miyuki's preferred alone-at-home attire is underwear and t-shirts), but it seems appropriate given the themes. Hiroki also lets things descend into unquestionable ickiness and (worse) meanness, but the film is mostly a hopeful experience.
