Nodo Jiman comes town! The competition is tough in this amateur singing contest, which has been organized by the Japanese television station NHK for 53 years, as out of 4,000 applicants only 20 make it to the finale. The aging singer Reiko expects new popularity from the competition, while singing means everything to the unemployed Keisuke besides the prospect of his own yakitori stand, and Rika, on the other hand, has enough problems with her family.
