Kannon is her best friend.

She has a modern looking girl who also is a great player of koto.

Since her koto teacher is a woman from Gion, she speaks Kyokotoba.

　　　　　　　　 　　―

Right… if you want to improve your koto skill, 

you have to love the sound of it.

Every single sound has its god in it.

If you play like you pray, your sound will be delivered even to the Buddhist pure heaven.

…Huh, you don't get it? Sorry. I'm not good at explaining.

Why don't you ask Marina?

She is my best friend and always enjoys my performance.

She will answer your questions.
