The Enka Road Begins

Dreams have no age limit. All it takes is the courage to believe — and that courage can change your life. Told through Japan's two beloved cultural traditions, enka (music that sings from the heart and soul of Japan) and karaoke. Yoshiko Takahashi, an ordinary housewife who runs a small dried-goods shop with her husband in a quiet shopping district, wins a regional singing competition and finds her life unexpectedly changed. A music producer on the judging panel recognizes an extraordinary talent in her voice, and Yoshiko sets out on a journey toward her ultimate dream: becoming a singer and performing at Nippon Budokan. As she draws closer to the stage, she is torn between the excitement of a long-forgotten dream and the life she has built with the people she loves — and along the way, rediscovers her love for her husband, the bonds of family, and the courage to live true to herself.

This film is based on the book "Welcome to Le Jardin" by Akemi Mochizuki, owner of the high-end club "Le Jardin" in Ginza, Tokyo. Based on the original story, which has been released up to three installments in the series, the film depicts the club's state at the mercy of the COVID-19 pandemic and the anxieties and conflicts of the people who work there. Maiko, who works at the high-end Ginza club "Le Jardin," remembers how Mama Akemi, the owner, helped her during her job interview. She devotes her days to working hard for Mama and the club. Then, in 2020, COVID-19 spread worldwide, and the first cases were confirmed at Le Jardin. The spread of COVID-19 led to public questioning the value of restaurants and nightlife, and Le Jardin was forced to suspend operations. Maiko, anxious about her future, is helpless and spends her days holed up in her room.
