"Nightlight's Stairway" by Matsumoto Seicho is a human-themed story about the ambition of a young man who rises from being a part-time beautician to becoming a favorite in the beauty industry. The stage for the drama is set in the world of beauty, where藤木直人 (Naoto Fujiki), a versatile actor capable of both serious and comedic roles, plays Sayama Michio, an unfeeling beautician willing to use any means to achieve his ambitions. The screenplay by Takeyama Yo, who made a significant impact in the 2007 autumn Special "Point and Line" and the February 2009 Matsumoto Seicho 100th anniversary special project "Doubt", portrays the rise and fall of a young beautician embodying both ambition and beauty.
