On the next day right before Taketo's concert, Taketo takes his anger out on Setsu, causing the attendees to become restless due to the delay in the start of his concert.

The next day, Setsu begins school at Umezono Academy and makes a friend in Shuri Maeda, who is also very interested in the shamisen and also found a broken shamisen left in the music prep room.

Shuri reveals that her grandmother first met Matsugoro back when she was a kid having evacuated to the countryside, and that she formed the Tsugaru Shamisen Appreciation Club hoping to find someone who understands the meaning of that song. However, with the song being improvised and changing with each performance, Setsu tells Shuri to give up on it. This response prompts Shuri's friends Yui Yamazoto and Kaito Yaguchi to join, with Keiko Koyabu becoming the club's advisor. Koyabu reveals that the broken shamisen found in the clubroom belonged to school alum Kousuke Ogata, known by his stage name Kamiki Seiryuu. To ask about the shamisen, the club attends one of his concerts and asks him afterwards. Seiryuu's response that he does not care about it being played again angers Setsu, and in response Seiryuu asks Setsu to play for him with Setsu giving a substandard performance.

Having accepted Shuri's request to perform Shungyou, Setsu scrambles to learn how to play that song, but comes to realize that he is incapable of playing it. However, Wakana tells Setsu that because Shuri and her grandmother do not realize the song's difficulty that he should focus on performing his own version. As he practices his song, he realizes the skill gap between himself and Matsugoro, but understands the importance of making the song his own. At the performance, he plays his modified version of Shungyou for Shuri's grandmother, and she reflects on the time when she first met Matsugoro when she evacuated to the countryside at age six. Despite being able to easily tell that this version is not the same version she remembers, she expresses her appreciation and explains the qualities that she remembers from meeting Matsugoro and how it was crafted into his performance, while Setsu responds by explaining why that is a difficult song to master.

Setsu returns home and is greeted by Umeko, who is pressuring Setsu to enter the individual competition of the Matsugorou Cup causing him to get in an heated argument. The next day, Setsu apologizes to Shuri, and Koyabu brings in Seiryuu to teach the club and give them advice. Setsu performs the song the club intends to play for the competition, Shinbushi, and Seiryuu joins in, demonstrating their abilities to play in harmony with each other.
