Kanki no Uta

[Machine Translation] A rakugo story of the same name by popular rakugo storyteller Shinosuke Tachikawa has been adapted to film by Joji Matsuoka, director of "Tokyo Tower: Mom & Me and Sometimes Dad" (winner of the Best Director Award of the Japan Academy Prize). A heartwarming musical comedy with a song about a forgotten sincerity. Kaoru Kobayashi, Narumi Yasuda, and other members of the splendid cast compete in this film. The climactic chorus scene featuring Yuki Saori and other members of the chorus is a masterpiece! The ending theme is by Crazy Ken Band! --Iizuka (Kaoru Kobayashi), who works at a cultural center, mishears two chorus groups with similar names and double-books a concert hall for New Year's Eve. He calls on both groups, but neither will budge, and a big problem develops. The middle-aged civil servant, who has been sitting on his laurels and living a life of idleness, is stymied by the girls' passion for chorus singing. In addition, the daily bills are coming due, from a marital crisis to a bar tab he has amassed... What will become of Chief Iizuka? Will the "mamasan's" "song of joy" that they have been practicing so hard echo through the town on New Year's Eve? Comes in a luxurious special case. The postcards (set of 3) will bring you good fortune! Postcards (set of 3) are enclosed. Japanese subtitles (for the hearing impaired).
