About

Taxi carry customers every day. At that moment, the life of a driver who lives in a taxi intersects with a customer who has each situation. A conversation of just a few minutes to a few tens of minutes can create a faint love. Enjoying the once-in-a-lifetime meeting, sometimes sadness, sometimes laughing, and a dense human drama unfolds in the car. Kotaro Yamaki, the main character of such a story and an individual taxi driver, loves Chinese food in the town. Most of the famous Chinese restaurants in Tokyo are in my head, and after sending customers, the man stops at the famous Chinese restaurants in the town. And he eats the supreme gem. The "joy of life" born there. It is linked to the life of the customer I met by taxi. After eating, the man who left the store slowly lit a cigarette and muttered. "Well, do you want to run another run?" Then the man started running in the night city again.
