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...
Even at times like these, I have to smile. Smile.
.حتّى في مثل هذه الأوقات، عليّ أن أتبسم. ابتسمي
Selbst jetzt muss ich stets lächeln.
Incluso en estos momentos, debo sonreír.
Incluso en estos momentos, debo sonreír.
Quoi qu’il arrive,
garder le sourire !
Sorridi, sorridi sempre,
 anche in queste situazioni.
Mesmo em momentos assim,
preciso sorrir. Sorrir.
Мне сейчас нужно просто улыбаться.
