"Some people laugh, and some people cry, until their grand occasion to make their first appearance on stage." Out of 4,000 applicants, only 250 will make it to the preliminary round, out of which just 20 will be chosen for the Sunday final. The famous TV singing contenst, "Nodo-Jiman", is coming to town! Enka singer Reiko Akagi enters the contest despite objections from her manager. Aspiring mobile yakitori shopowner Keisuke finds that his license examination clashes with the preliminary round. Schoolgirl Rika Takahashi is caught between her worried mother and her rebellious sister. "Nodo-Jiman" brings these colorful people together in a heartwarming way.
