Each of us has come to a point sometime in our lives where we question our place within the world we’ve created. And once we reach that point, whether by our own decision or by someone else’s, we must ask ourselves: Where do we go from there? In “Uzumasa Limelight," Kami (Seizo Fukumoto) finds himself in just that position as an aged Kirareyaku, which is the name given to the person felled by the samurai’s sword in film and television. Kami isn't just any ordinary Kirareyaku; he's the best at what he does. But he's being slowly pushed out of the genre he helped popularize.
