The fountain where Karsuke, Guzuroku, and Omeda jumped in in the drama "Our Journey."

The obsession of a woman who transformed a swamp into a girls' school and a residential area for politicians. Why did Kabukicho transform into a "demonic realm" swirling with desire? We will trace the intentions and obsessions of the people involved in the development of the town amidst the chaos of the postwar period.

We will delve into the hidden history of this town, shaped by the interplay of landowners, street vendors, overseas Chinese, and Kiyo Mineshima, along with the historical context. We will approach the truth behind the birth of Kabukicho, hidden behind the dazzling neon lights.
