Viewers then see the men meet their four heroes.
First up is Makoto, 35, a “shy radio personality” who explains he wants to transform “from a rock to a psychedelic flower” in hopes of reconnecting with his wife.
“If you want to keep her as your wife, you have to give her a reason to stay,” France, 36, tells Makoto as he breaks down into tears.
The men also help Yoko, 57, a hospice nurse, who has given up on “being a woman” to help others.
Brown, 38, explains in the trailer that she gave up “every room in her home for a patient.”
“I want to get back in touch with myself,” Yoko says.
Next is Kan, 27, a gay man, who is struggling with the idea of introducing his boyfriend to his family.
Lastly, there is Kae, 23, an artist who has been bullied most of her life.
“I think I can finally be proud of myself, and I’m really grateful,” Kae says fighting back tears following her makeover.
