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...
I was always empty, right from the very start.
.لطالما كنتُ "فارغة" منذ البداية
Ich war ja ohnehin innerlich leer.
Siempre estuve vacía por dentro.
Siempre he estado vacía por dentro.
J’ai toujours été vide,
en fin de compte.
Io sono sempre stata vuota, in fondo.
Eu estava vazia desde o começo.
Я изначально была «пуста».
