I'm sad to hear there's no DVD release. The Youtube clips are really intriguing. I wish I could see more! But thank you for answering (and thank you OP for posting this question).
That's a pity there isn't a DVD for it. I would totally snatch that up! But at least there was an airing of it (though that only further torments those of us without it!)
I actually just watched it last week, to add to princesslucia's info. I plan to write more about it when I have time to watch it again, but in the meantime, I'll quickly steal some scribbled notes from my journal:
Ache opens with a bunch of dance/song numbers, then has half a play, then an intermission, then the other half of the play, and then a few more song/dance numbers.

Watched Kozuki Wataru's Ache, which was both terrible and intriguing and HOT at the same time. More on this when I've watched it again and have checked my facts, but basically Wataru's character is killed protecting her dance partner, and ends up in a kind of purgatory, where s/he must wait until her "other half" (hanshin) shows up and they can be reborn together. And then his former hanshin shows up (the partner he died for), and he finds out the partner had actually betrayed him, so he doesn't want to be her hanshin again. And then the cynical man he's met in the purgatory tells him that they also were hanshin once upon a time, when Wataru's character was a woman. And

I will be in Tokyo in October, and I am a huge fan of Ayaki Nao. Does anyone know if she is scheduled to appear in a performance of a play, musical, etc. the first two weeks of October? Many thanks.
