I was originally interested in watching Three Star Bar in Nishi Ogikubo because one of the main characters is named Kobayashi.

Our four guys continue to squabble on occasion, which seems to prove how comfortable they are with each other. In a patient story we see two other friends demonstrating the same kind of behavior, which clues us in to how close they are.
