Soshite, Ikiru

Toko Ikuta lost her parents at the age of three and has been raised by her uncle for almost her entire childhood in the city of Morioka. While she's known as a local idol in Morioka, she always aspired to be on the stage nationwide and has always been eager to move to Tokyo to break through. Finally she's been given a chance to attend an audition, but the day prior to her audition, Japan is shaken up by the Great Tohoku Earthquake.
