Hatsue Soma
쓰가루시 북쪽 지방에 사는 여고생 이토는 취미로 쓰가루 샤미센을 연주한다. 샤미센을 독학해 고수가 된, 돌아가신 어머니로부터 배운 것이다. 이토는 음악을 연주해 자신을 표현하면서 점점 말수가 적어지는데 강한 쓰가루 사투리가 부끄럽기 때문이다. 친구가 별로 없는 수줍은 성격이지만, 마음 속으로는 메이드 카페에서 일하고 싶은 과감한 생각이 있다.
Meet Saotome Ai, a high school girl from a well-to-do family. When she was a small child, she was in an accident that resulted in a young boy being permanently scarred between his eyes while she emerged unscathed. The young boy saved her life and although she never knew who he was, she never forgot him. Meet Taiga Makoto, a young man with a scar between his eyes who has had a rough life, but has emerged as a rough, tough bully - a thug and a brawler and about as rude as they come - all of which he blames on the incident that gave him his scar. When Ai and Makoto run into each other again, Ai feels guilt for what Makoto has become and decides to intervene and rehabilitate him. But is he a diamond in the rough, or just a bully?
Takeyama Takahashi lost his eyesight and wandered around with his shamisen just to live - the spirit of the Tsugaru shamisen master and the nameless people of the northern Tohoku region, who crossed a troubled world, is revived in the sound of the sangen!
