Description:

This film adaptation plunges into the extraordinary world of idol fandom, centering on a profoundly devoted fan whose entire existence revolves around a single, lesser-known idol. Driven by an intense, almost spiritual connection, this fan makes a dramatic, life-altering pledge: "If my idol reaches Budokan, I'll die." This isn't a literal death wish but a declaration that their life's purpose will be fulfilled. The movie chronicles their tireless, often unconventional efforts to support their beloved idol, from attending every event to pouring all their resources into promotions, navigating the competitive and demanding idol industry. It delves into the fan's unwavering commitment, the idol's uphill battle for recognition, and the emotional complexities of deep admiration. The narrative explores the sacrifices, joys, and heartbreaks on both sides as they strive towards the ultimate dream of performing at Budokan, questioning what happens when the pinnacle of their shared ambition is finally within grasp.
