Similarly, Aragaki plays a young woman living cheerfullydespite losing her ability to speak due to an accident. Her characteris said to be modeled after a real actress in the theatrical troupethat Takuma runs.
The supporting cast includes Kiichi Nakai as a lawyer who watches over Matsumoto and Aragaki.
