synopsis
Tanaka-San Will Not Do Calisthenics is a testament to the incredible power of the individual. Tesuro Tanaka, a man whose day job requires him to work at the Japanese Oki Electric Manufacturing Company but whose true passion is singing, decides to react to the news of the impending militarization of his job with what's in his heart. Every day for 28 years, Tanaka stood outside his factory and, as a form of protest, sang. This documentary shows how Tanaka's simple act exposed the corruption of an entire business.
