One day, Hino comes across a music fairy who gives her a magic violin and forces her to join the Seiso Academy annual music competition. Kahoko knows that she has no prior experience playing the violin but realizes that once she picks up the violin, she can play any piece on the magic violin as long as she knows how it sounds like. She meets several musicians also competing in the tournament and befriends them.
