The Tsugaru Shamisen Appreciation Club has entered the tournament that Umeko is sponsoring, the Matsugorou Cup. Also participating are Tanuma Mai, who has thought of Setsu as a rival since they were little, and her older brother, Tanuma Souichi. With strong competitors like Osaka's Kaji Takaomi and Fukuoka's Arakawa Ushio gathered from all over Japan, the tournament is shaping up to be a fierce battle. And now, the curtain rises on the Matsugorou Cup's group competition!
The reason I can't practice right before we 
compete is because I know my own quirks!
السّبب الّذي يمنعني من التّدريب 
!قُبيل المسابقة هو لأنّني أعرف ميزاتي
Ich kann vor dem Konzert nicht trainieren,
No ensayo antes de competir
porque me conozco bien.
No ensayo antes de competir
porque me conozco bien.
Je peux pas répéter à la dernière minute
parce que je connais mes manies !
Se non riesco a esercitarmi 
prima delle esibizioni,
Eu não posso praticar agora
porque eu sei minhas manias!
Я не репетирую пред выходом,
 ибо у меня свои причуды!
