Saya´s mother always told her ""whatever you do, don´t go with a gambler"", but when she takes work in an investment consultancy firm and meets Bogey, a charismatic older man with money and a passion for gambling, her mother´s advice is quickly forgotten. Saya embarks on an intense love affair, throwing herself wholeheart into a world of late-night parties, expensive clothes and friendships with the extravagant players in Tokyo´s seedy underworld, but she soon comes to realize the emptiness of their life together their happiness governed by the rise and fall of Tokyo´s economy, the betrayal of his many affairs, and the boredom and dissatisfaction of being kept as a trophy with no voice and no life of her own. Yokomori´s Tokyo is a city rinding on the wave of excess, while an undercurrent of corruption is beginning to surface in the society that´s slipping away from its roots and losing its center. Tokyo Tango is a complex modern love story that tells an age-old story of forbidden love, brought to life under the bright ligths of a city in the grip of change
