The three sisters of the Yamabuki family, Yukiko (age 16), Tsukiko (age 13) and Hanako (age 11), go to a karaoke box as a distraction and encounter one of the twelve zodiac signs that rule the year of the rooster, Otori-Sama (お酉様, the rooster). The twelve zodiac signs are responsible for protecting peace and happiness each year, and this year, the year of the rooster, is Otori-sama's turn. The year 1993 is indeed the year of the rooster, but over the past few days all Otori-sama has done is gamble, and as a result he has become addicted to karaoke and can do nothing else. Consequently, unable to fulfill his duty, he asks for help to maintain the peace and happiness of the year on his behalf. The three sisters refuse to accept this ridiculous and selfish request, but Otori-sama makes them an offer they cannot refuse: "If you accept my request, I will mediate to ensure that your parents live together in perfect harmony."
