“ The Diary of the 38-year-old Divorcee who has Tried a Dating App”
Pretty Sayaka Yamaguchi stars as Chiaki Matsumoto, a 38 year old divorcee who, as she approaches 40, is hoping to recapture some of the youth she has lost.
Lamenting to her best friend Rika (Machida Marie)about how sad it is that she only loved one man her entire life, Rika recommends a dating app where she candip her toes back into the dating scene.
Not a minute has gone by when Chiaki is inundated with various replies. Seems she is a hot commodity, but when she ventures out on her first date with a young college guy, he seems detached and cheap. At first chalking it up to the age gap, she realizes that this cad only wanted to hook up for easy sex.
With the mind now of all the different expectations the matches have of her, Chiaki dives back in with caution, and after meeting a gentle natured boy who happily wants to spend time with her as a friend, she goes all-in with this dating app scene!
In time, she really gets into the swing of things,making the most of the dating app and enjoying the thrill of spending time with a new, exciting fella each day!
Even her friend Rika and her boss are amazed at her success, but Chiaki confesses that she only ever dates these guys platonically, spending the days and evening with them but coming home alone.
So it is that Chiaki is beside herself in confusion when she winds up waking up naked in a bed with a boy whom she has spent the night with! And to show what a light-hearted and FUN show this is, Syaka thinks to herself, “How did I get into this predicament?” She's about to go through it in her head, but adds, “First things first, let me put my panties on.” LOLOLOL!
I must say, after seeing Sayaka playing so many crazy, cold-hearted and psychotic women lately, it was nice to see her going back to her “pretty woman” roles!
I already mentioned in my Alice Hirose post about how much a femme fatale I think Sayaka can be when she really sets her mind on it, and here we have her in the wonderfully cliched but eternally enduring “Beautiful Girl who doesn’t know how beautiful she is” character~!
So awesome seeing how radiant she looks all dolled up for her various dates, each with its own different feel, from classy to scholarly, sweet to sassy! 
And OOHHH, that lingerie-clad ending credits, oh my heart....
And if taht wasn’t enough, we ALSO have the return of good ol’ loveable Aiko Sato, an actress I liked very much back in the day but haven’t seen hide nor hair of her in YEARS! So nice to see her again!!
