Perfectionist otaku Eru, whose entire existence orbits rookie idol Kikuri, faces the impossible: her "oshi" gets a shot at performing at the legendary Budokan arena. This path to the dream stage is paved with hidden potholes — financial deficits, creative burnout, and the ruthless machinery of the entertainment industry. Alongside the group's weary manager and fellow devoted fans, Eru is thrust into a gritty behind-the-scenes battle where the cost of success is measured not just in yen, but in authenticity.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film expertly walks a tightrope between grotesque comedy about fan obsession and a piercing drama on the cost of small victories in the dream-making industry. It refuses to simply mock, instead framing fanaticism as a distorted yet genuine form of faith.

What lingers after the credits is a surprisingly tender reflection on the sacrifices we make for others' dreams and the blurred line between support and possession. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Kentaro Otani
