Description
[Machine Translation] The stage is filled with applause and bouquets of flowers! This is the first DVD release of the popular song romance film along with "Farewell, Station on the Plateau" among Nakagawa's works! The film depicts people living in a world of vanity and greed in the glamorous world of show business, and pursuing true happiness through pure love and passionate friendship. Setsuko Wakayama and Ichiro Tatsuzaki, who co-starred in "Blue Mountains," play their conflicting roles with great emotion. Jun Tasaki, who at Shintoho has a strong image as a hard-working soldier, gives a refreshing performance as a drifter accordion player. Music is by Tadashi Hattori, with special appearances by singers Noriko Awatani, Misae Enomoto, Hamako Watanabe, and Minoru Obata, in addition to Teruko Ake. The film was shot on a large scale on location at Yamanaka Onsen in Kaga Onsenkyo, Ishikawa Prefecture, and also inside Kawarikaso, which closed in 2021. --Ryoichi, an aspiring singer, is playing Ginza again tonight with his accordion-playing partner, Toshio. He and Mitsuko, a waitress at a bar who lives in the same apartment, are lovers and meet up in front of the Nichigeki Theater at night to go back to their apartment. One night, Mitsuko visits the bar where Ryoichi works, and she makes a pitch to Yamazaki, the head of the record company, and is lucky enough to be hired as a semi-exclusive singer. However, the opportunity to make his debut never came, and Ryoichi spent his days in agony. One day, Ryoichi and Yukari Misono, a singer who patronizes composer Matsunaga, record a hit song together, and the duo becomes a popular singer. Ryoichi became a darling of the music world, and gradually stopped returning to his apartment. One night, Ryoichi shows up at Mitsuko's store with Yukari and a group of friends in tow. Yukari shows Mitsuko her flirtation with Ryoichi, and Ryoichi does not return to the apartment that night. Toshio offers sincere advice for Ryoichi and Mitsuko, but Ryoichi misunderstands his advice and leaves on a performance tour. Soon after, articles reporting the success of the concert in Kansai are accompanied by ugly rumors about Ryoichi and Yukari.
