| It is 1962. Ueki Hitoshi (Yamamoto Koji) is incredulous. Sudara Bushi which he had sung has become an unprecedented big hit. Ueki and the Crazy Cats (Yamauchi Takaya, Hamano Kenta, Fukami Motoki, Nishimura Hirocho, Perm Taisa, Obata Takahiro) are much sought after on TV and in films and he suddenly becomes a star. He needs an assistant who can also be his driver due to his hectic schedule. And along comes an extraordinarily energetic young man called Matsuzaki Masaomi (Shison Jun) who would accompany Ueki on the set. Matsuzaki is overwhelmed by the performances of Ueki and the Crazy Cats. Their skits are thoroughly slapstick and their music totally slick. In real life, Ueki is a serious man and has doubts about whether such performances served a useful purpose. Before they are aware of it, Matsuzaki who had lost his own father when he was a boy, starts calling Ueki “father”. Ueki, his wife Tomiko (Yuka) and even his father Tetsujo (Ito Shiro) accept Matsuzaki like family. Matsuzaki aspires to be an entertainer, and gets absorbed in work and love. The two of them make the best teacher-student pair. |
