    Synopsis:
    Quirky Guys and Gals (Sabi Otoko, Sabi Onna) ties together four stories of people searching for a spark in their lives. Yosuke Fujita (Fine, Totally Fine) leads off with "Cheer Girls," an entertaining tale of a woman (Nanami Sakuraba) whose passion is to lead cheers—though not for sports teams. Rather, she finds common people and creates anthems to encourage them in everyday life. Tomoko Matsunashi's "Boy? Meets Girl," is a Tootsie remake in a high-school setting. Mipo O's "Claim Night" sees the 30-something Mayuko (Tomochika) return home to find the electricity in her apartment turned off, yet when she finally gets a repairman to come over, their over-the-top confrontation gives rise to a wildly comedic situation. Lastly, Gen Sekiguchi (Survive Style 5+) offers up "The House Full of 'Abandoned' Businessmen" a quaint tale of a housewife who collects out-of-work salarymen to try and give them a fresh start.
