When Setsu's grandfather died, so did Setsu's sound"—his unique creative spark. Grieving, he goes to Tokyo to find himself...but manages to become totally, literally lost on his first day. Only a chance meeting with Yuna—aka Yuka, the hostess—saves him from being robbed. At first glance their lives seem totally different, but they're both striving for their dreams—hers, of being an actress, and his, of developing his talent with the shamisen—and it could just be that life in the raucous, unfeeling urban sprawl of Tokyo could just be what binds their fates together..."
Setsu, Seiryu, and Sochi come together under one roof to compete in the individual competition of the Hirosaki Tsugaru Shamisen National Championship. After first participating in the group competition as a member of Team Take no Hana, Setsu is reunited with the members of the Umezono Private School Shamisen Club with whom he used to play. Meanwhile, Kaji from Take no Hana and Setsu’s older brother, Wakana, enter the Tsugaru Shamisen Best in Japan Championship in Aomori. With two competitions on the same day, who will be the victor of each?
