One day, a girl with rabbit ears comes to the village of Flatta. This nameless, unpopular minstrel, who strums her lute fiercely with her bare fingers and sings with a death growl, is known as Schifanoia. When she passes out in the middle of her concert, Azusa is reminded of the sad stories she's heard of young men who moved to Tokyo hoping to make their major debut, but instead turn into job-hopping middle-aged men playing in bands that never make any profit. So she invites Schifanoia to live at the house in the highlands for a while, but when she just keeps making excuses and refuses to see reality, Flatorte loses her patience...
But success in this world doesn't 
always favor the talented first.
لكنّ النّجاح في هذا العالم لا يقف 
.دائمًا في صفّ الموهوب أوّلاً
Aber es sind nicht immer diejenigen mit Talent,
die auf dieser Welt mit Erfolg gesegnet werden.
Ma in questo mondo il successo 
non privilegia necessariamente chi ha talento.
Mas nem tudo neste mundo
favorece os talentosos.
Но в мире талант не всегда приводит к успеху.
