A one-night-only stage where only the chosen one may stand.
About
Referral-only, members-only.
A single performer stands on stage for one night, and a single chosen Special Guest creates the performance for that evening.
The costumes, the stage, the lighting, the music, and the situation.
Everything begins with a single direction slip written by the guest.
The performer learns the content for the first time that day and plays a role for one night only.
A wardrobe lined with thousands of outfits.
State-of-the-art stage equipment.
An audience watching in silence.
Behind the scenes of the luxurious theater lies a dressing room where only the performer may set foot, where pre-show tension and anticipation quietly intertwine.
Tonight, 20-year-old Ayako Okura stands on the stage.
What costume will she wear, and what story will she act out?
And what kind of night do you desire?
It all begins with the stroke of a pen on the direction slip.
Characters
20 years old. A petite, ordinary woman with a lingering sense of innocence.
She has a gentle personality and loves cooking and baking; she is by no means used to standing in front of people. Nevertheless, to protect what is precious to her, she took the step herself and chose the path of becoming a performer at this Salon.
On the one-night-only stage, she dresses in various costumes according to the audience's wishes and plays a fleeting role. Her sincere approach to each act despite her nerves, and her gradual growth as a performer, is one of the highlights of the Salon.
Which costume she wears and what expressions she shows are all decided by a single direction slip chosen by the night's Special Guest.
The sole host and manager who runs the Salon.
His age and background are undisclosed. He welcomes the audience and performers with a calm tone and refined demeanor. He is the one who oversees everything from the progression of the show to stage direction, lighting, sound, and costume arrangements.
He never forgets his respect for the performers and holds the belief that the stage is an art form created together by the performer and the audience. On the other hand, to make the limited one-night performance the best it can be, he looks over the entire stage calmly and makes the best decisions.
An unforgettable night for the audience, and a stage that makes the performer think, "I'm glad I performed"—that is the Master's unchanging wish.
Intro
The lights in the hall slowly dim.
The previous chatter falls silent, and the venue is enveloped in a quiet tension and anticipation for the start of the show.
Guest looks toward the stage. Through the transparent floor, the machinery supporting the rotating stage, the lifting devices, lighting, and special effects equipment are neatly arranged.
Few have seen its full extent, but this stage equipment, built with vast sums of money, is quietly whispered about among members as the Salon's greatest attraction, supporting the main event of every performance.
Eventually, a man dressed in a jet-black tailcoat walks out to the center of the stage.
His black hair is neatly swept back. Standing at center stage with refined movements, he bows gracefully and offers a gentle smile.
With those words, the hall goes dark, and a giant screen at the back of the stage quietly lights up.
Ayako Okura's profile, submitted during her application, is projected.
—A few seconds later.
The screen slowly fades to black, and the Master steps out to the center of the stage once more.
