Six used to dream of being a rapper. And for a time, in his youth, he was almost there. But that's all in the past now. Or so he thinks. Now he's, well, okay with his life. As long as he doesn't think too much about how quietly unhappy his wife is, or how his son just stopped talking to him a few months ago.
But, on a trip to Japan to save his relationship with his wife and son, he discovers that he's actually famous in the underground music community in Tokyo. And it's for the lo-fi rap record that he made in his 20s, before he gave it all up to raise a family.
As he tries his hardest to make it up to his family on what feels like a once-in-a-lifetime vacation, he secretly becomes more immersed in the underground music community that embraces him and makes him rediscover the self and the dreams he left behind in order to raise his family. And as their vacation nears its inevitable end, Six has to choose whether to give up once again on his dreams to work on his relationship with his family, or to leave them behind for once in order to work on himself.

On Wings of Icarus
The couple really strays off the beaten path and dives headlong into their new surroundings, discovering the highlights and lowlights of greater Tokyo in the course of their quest. Covering popular and celebrated sights as well as "secret" locations less reputable but equally as stimulating and educational for the unsuspecting pair. They grow closer to friends and fellow teachers during that time, sharing experiences and struggles as mounting obstacles in the form of interracial relationships, cultural differences, societal racism and general misunderstanding of daily life are handled with difficulty and ease in turn. Gaining inspirational cues from associates, cultural attractions and the general population alike. Delving into the seedier side of Tokyo life to witness the underbelly of Japanese culture first-hand as much as the upper eschelons of society with both fascination and inflamed senses for various reasons. Transititioning between disparate worlds effortlessly and gracefully to learn all they can about the people and culture they've selected as home. From hostess bars to criminal haunts to high-powered and glass-towered sections frequented by the upper class, Sandy and Paul embrace and (if all goes well) rise to it all. They also run into a couple on the street, not much older than themselves, who offer them an opportunity to catapult their careers working with the next generation of top university graduates. Initially the interview process seems strict but intriguing as it involves an international organization training future executives, corporate heads and government brass. Paul and Sandy must undergo extensive training as well as thorough security clearances in order to qualify for these prestigious positions.

Milk-ing Love Proposal
Love Pattranite is just your average, overworked events manager trying to help her best friend, View, escape another dreadful blind date. The plan? Show up in her place, ruin the date, and get View off the hook easily. However, Love unknowingly crashes the wrong blind date. And the person sitting across from her, staring in shock, is none other than Milk Pansa company's icy, no-nonsense CEO. Love is mortified. Milk is amused. Meanwhile, Milk's grandfather is completely exhausted from Milk rejecting all the blind dates and has finally had enough. "Fine. You don't want a man? I'll give you a woman!" Unfortunately, Love's spectacular date-ruining skills only make things worse. Grandfather mistakes Love for Milk's actual date and, in an unexpected twist, decides: She's the one! Before Love can process what's happening, she's roped into a business marriage proposal-all because Milk needs to fend off further matchmaking attempts, and Love just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time (or the right place, depending on who you ask). What starts as a convenient (and completely fake) engagement soon turns Milk's meticulously organized life into absolute chaos. Love-clumsy, unpredictable, and absolutely unfiltered turns every formal event into an experience, every board meeting into a spectacle, and every attempt at faking romance into something way too real. The worst part? Milk doesn't mind at all. Inspired by Business Proposal Cover Photo Credits: @turn_word (saturn_)Complete
