!Tropes for the film:
* DrivenToSuicide: Early on, a hostess at the Bluebird bar has committed suicide, though why is unclear - some of her colleagues say it was because of lack of money, others say it was because of a man. [[spoiler:This is {{Foreshadowing}} for Yuri's suicide later in the movie]].
* DrowningMySorrows: Keiko, who normally doesn't like to drink, gets drunk after [[spoiler:Yuri's suicide and after one of her clients, a banker, sent someone to the funeral home to demand money from Yuri's mother]]. Unfortunately, getting drunk ends up causing her ulcer to bleed.
* StepfordSmiler: Keiko, also known as "[[AffectionateNickname Mama]]", is like this - she's a respected hostess with a number of male clients who like her (other hostesses like her), and she's warm and friendly towards all of them, but underneath, she's melancholy and sad, hating every part of her life.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Keiko is arguably a [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruction]] of this trope. She's refined, warm, and caring towards her clients (she's a geisha), as well as her colleagues, but inside, she's deeply melancholy, hating the life she's living. In addition, unlike most of the other geisha, she wears kimonos instead of dresses, hates to drink, and won't sleep with clients if she can avoid it, and while this makes her respected, it also means she has to struggle with money constantly.
