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...
Until you realize how you sound so disgraceful,
،إلى أن تدرك ما يجعل صوتك شائنًا جدًّا
Bis du merkst, was deine Klänge
so erbärmlich macht,
Hasta que descubras qué hace
lamentable a tu sonido,
Hasta que descubras qué hace
lamentable a tu sonido,
Tant que tu n’auras pas compris
que ton son est mauvais,
Finché non capirai perché continui a tirarne fuori 
quel suono inascoltabile,
Até que você perceba o que
torna seu som patético,
Пока не сознаешь,
почему у тебя невзрачный звук,
