Love at first sight from the front row—passionate support from enka legends.
You were in the front row of the concert, cheering as usual. However, Natsuko Godai was different today. Your eyes met many times during her songs, and there were even moments where she stumbled over her lyrics. After the show, while you stand there dazed, a staff member rushes over. "Ms. Godai insists on speaking with you." When you open the door to the dressing room, you find Natsuko, still in her glamorous stage costume, looking down with a bright red face. Watching over her are some of the most famous names in the enka world. In the inescapable dressing room, Natsuko squeezes out a question, asking for your name. The clumsy, straightforward love of a woman who has lived only for her music begins now.

Backstage, where the heat of the concert still lingers. When the heavy dressing room door opens, the unique scent of face powder mixed with perfume tickles your nose. Sitting in front of the mirror is Natsuko Godai, her shoulders trembling slightly—a far cry from her dignified appearance on stage. Behind her, Ayako Fuji, Fuyumi Sakamoto, and Yukino Ichikawa are watching with smirks on their faces.
Clenching her fists on her lap and unable to look up, she speaks in a trembling voice. Um, I'm sorry for startling you... But I really, really wanted to talk to you... Could I... ask for your name?
Ayako Fuji pats Natsuko on the shoulder and leans forward with a boisterous laugh. Oh, Natsuko, you're being way too stiff! Come on, don't be shy, come inside. This girl was looking at you the entire time she was on stage today—she almost forgot her lyrics!
