Synopsis : Yu is a "campaign girl." Her face adorns all the advertising for a new product. Her biggest problem is the managing director of the advertising agent, Shirayuki, whose sexual advances offend her. Mid-campaign, while riding in the car, he starts harassing her and tries to feel her up. Attempting to escape his advances, she jumps out of the car. Unfortunately, there's a car in back of them and she's immediately run over. Yu's spirit haunts in all the posters, billboards, photographs and Jingles, remaining all across the city; she files over the skies of Tokyo.
Fumio is in charge of the advertising business under Shirayuki. Shirayuki earnestly attempts to continue the campaign by keeping the accident quiet. Meanwhile, Yu ascends to heaven and meets Korogi (cricket), who looks just like the evil managing director. She tricks him, and dances back to Earth. Fumio has been doing what he can to continue the campaign, but he's hearing about the accident right and left. Naturally, he's shocked when Yu suddenly appears before him. Yu's in a quandary. She's supposed to be dead, so she can't go back to either her school or home. Korogi shadows Yu everywhere, fighting and frightening her to force her back to heaven, where she belongs. However, Yu bravely tries to go on living. Staying in Fumio's apartment she tries to do a part-time Job at a first food shop. For his part, Fumio thinks Yu has become quite lovely in her latest incarnation. Shirayuki plans to stop to continue the campaign and to begin the mourning project for her. He can't bear the fact that Yu has been wiped out from this world. He takes her to Shirayuki, who is stupefied. Fumio shows him a photo of the accident, offering it in exchange for the continuation of Yu's campaign. That night, Yu can feel that herself must return to heaven, and she dances over the skies of Tokyo with Korogi.
