It's a Japanese drama from 1985-1986, featuring "Konya Wa Angel" (Tonight is what it means to be young) as the theme song.
"Janus" is pronounced "Yanus".
I was happy to have found this, but then I watched it, and... there's something kind of nightmarish about it. Not scary, just weird and nightmarish.
Then I found out it's based on a horror manga:

So that makes sense now...
I still don't know how Megumi Shiina also got to record and release "Kanashimi wa Tsudzukanai" (Good Girls Go To Heaven) in 1986 - several years before Pandora's Box. It's really bugging me. To the level that if I got run over tomorrow, I'd become a ghost and haunt people until I found out how she got to record that.
(A: because if it was readily available as a song for anyone to record, I'm sure Meat Loaf would have recorded it, and B: because Jim was so protective of his songs, how come she released this without any involvement from him?)
