    Synopsis:

    Following his grandfather's passing, Setsu Sawamura leaves his rural home for Tokyo, burdened by the legacy of a renowned shamisen player and his grandfather’s final, cryptic instruction. The bustling city proves overwhelming, hindering his artistic inspiration and forcing him to confront his own lack of direction. His mother's intervention leads him to Umezono Academy, where he encounters Shuri Maeda, a student eager to explore the tradition of the Tsugaru shamisen.

    Shuri’s enthusiasm sparks the formation of a shamisen appreciation club, offering Setsu an unexpected opportunity to reconnect with the instrument through teaching. As he guides others in learning the art form, Setsu must grapple with his own artistic stagnation and the pressure to define his unique musical voice within a vibrant, modern environment. The series explores themes of legacy, self-discovery, and the search for individual expression amidst the noise of contemporary life.
