On the eve of the Russo-Japanese war at the beginning of the 20th century, small-town girl Okane has married an old wealthy man to escape a life of poverty.

A young rock singer is not appreciated by her band, and gets a postcard from Japan saying "wish you were here".

She has numerous cross-cultural adventures and ends up singing with a Japanese rock group looking for a gaijin gimmick.
