Ep. 11: Kaji Berimprovisasi dan Setsu Bergumul dengan Identitas Musiknya

Despite a broken string, Kaji continues playing managing to delight the crowd with his improvisation using only two strings. Afterwards, the competition goes on a lunch break. Outside the venue, Souichi is approached by Seiryuu asking who he is interested in, and Souichi answers saying that he is interested in nobody. Elsewhere, Setsu is approached by Umeko, who explains that the purpose of the competition is for Setsu to revive Matsugorou's sound and make it known to the world. Setsu becomes conflicted between playing like his grandfather for Umeko and playing his own stil as requested by his teammates and competitors. Setsu goes on stage and starts off playing Matsugorou's style with lukewarm reception from the audience. Midway through the performance, he changes back to his usual playing style to the delight of the audience. (Source: Wikipedia)
