Ep. 3: Shuri gründet einen Club, um Matsugoros Lied zu verstehen, während Setsu mit dem Leistungsdruck kämpft.

Shuri is then caught listening to Matsugoro's improvisation shamisen song Shungyou, leading Setsu to ask her about how she came to know that song. 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 doesn't care about it being played again angers Setsu, and in response Seiryuu asks Setsu to play for him with Setsu giving a substandard performance. Setsu becomes lost in thought, but is convinced to play for Shuri's grandmother. (Source: Wikipedia)
