Fujimoto Shouji is a widowed single father who aspires to be a picture book author. Kana, his only daughter, is a big fan of Takasaki Minami, the singing idol on the children’s educational show “Let’s Sing With Big Sis!” One day, Shouji encounters Minami while she is outside of work. As a television icon for children, Minami is prohibited from romantic relationships, so she is lonely in her private life. Thus begins an adult love story with a songstress. (Inspired by the character Uta no Oneesan from the children’s show Okaasan to Issho.)

Shouji, a single father, takes his daughter Kana to see a children’s show by the “singing big sis.” However, the show is canceled due to equipment trouble. On the way home, he stops by a diner to cheer Kana up and ends up sharing a table with a suspicious drunk woman. Kana falls in love with the woman and asks her to accompany her home. The woman is the off-duty songstress from the show! Because of her job, she can’t have romantic relationships, and she’s been drinking herself to death because she feels lonely. When she tells him about her situation, the two of them start to become conscious of spending time with the opposite sex for the first time in a long time.
