It begins on film and ends on stage. And there is more than one ending.
Hi, I’m Buzz from Gossip Sugar Films. “THE MELT” is the sequel to our short film “THE FALL,” and the stage play “The Fallen Has Melted” brings the two stories together as one. We are crowdfunding to produce the film and the stage play at the same time — and we need your support.
“Virgin Kiss” is a short drama series built around a “kiss” between women — and the decisions forced at life’s crossroads. Every episode ends on a moment of decision, and leaves you asking yourself: “What would I have done?” It is a series that plants a question in everyone who watches.
The channel launched as a sub-channel of “Gossip Sugar,” an original short-drama series about the hidden side of the entertainment world that has passed 50 million total views and keeps expanding beyond YouTube, including a collaboration with Kodansha’s “Young Magazine.” With “Virgin Kiss,” we explore what lies deeper in human emotion, from a different angle than Gossip Sugar.

Six months after “THE FALL.”
Two new members join the drama club: Nagisa Mitsuhashi and Rion Sato. As they fall into the darkness of acting, they come to know what real love is…
Acting, or for real? The more they rehearse, the more the line between performance and reality melts away.
It begins on film and ends on stage. And there is more than one ending.
“THE FALL” and “THE MELT” — two stories woven into one performance. The story between the films, and what comes after… The rest of their lives can only be seen on stage.
The play has multiple endings: four in total, a different one at every performance. Two casts (White Team and Black Team), eight performances.
October 22 (Thu) – 25 (Sun), 2026 · Atelier Fanfare Higashi-Shinjuku, Tokyo
