The owner of a shop selling traditional Japanese instruments, Oodawara Hiroshi, has taken the Tsugaru Shamisen Appreciation Club to Aomori for a training camp. The members start practicing right away, but Shuri falls into a slump and Setsu, caught up in his own worries, doesn't seem very interested in helping her out. Then, Oodawara tells them a little of the history of Tsugaru shamisen and it serves as a catalyst for Setsu to find the answer he's been looking for...
Their lives depended on 
that sound and that weight.
.كانت حياتهم تعتمد على ذلكما الصّوت والوزن
Ihr Leben hing von diesen Klängen
und jenem Gewicht ab.
Leur vie dépendait
de ce son et de ce poids.
la loro vita dipendeva 
da quel tintinnio e da quel peso.
Suas vidas dependiam desse som e peso.
Их жизнь зависела
от этого звука или веса.
