A-Girl
Sisters Mariko and Mayu, along with Mariko's bad-tempered boyfriend, become involved with Ichiro, an arrogant, womanizing male model. A-Girl has very few lines of dialogue and is performed against a background of Japanese pop songs composed by Okada Tooru and sung in English! by SEIKA. Intertiles provide continuity, like in old silent films.
