Sawamura Matsugorou, the grandfather of a young Tsugaru shamisen player, Sawamura Setsu, has died. In losing the grandfather whom he'd always admired, Setsu has lost his own sound, and so he has gone to Tokyo with no plans other than to search for what he's lost. When he gets caught up in some trouble, he's saved by Tachiki Yuna, a woman who works at a hostess club. Events progress, and Setsu ends up unveiling his musical skills as the opening act for a live concert...
but other times, you don't 
seem like you're living at all.
.لكن في أوقات أخرى، لا يبدو وكأنّك تعيش إطلاقًا
Aber sonst läufst du wie ein Zombie umher.
pero el resto del tiempo pareces muerto.
pero el resto del tiempo pareces muerto.
mais sinon,
t’es totalement apathique.
ma in tutte le altre situazioni
non sembri nemmeno vivo.
mas fora isso, não sinto que esteja.
в остальное время ты как тень.
