General Info


Written by: Eriko Kitagawa

To make this short and to leave out spoilers, I'll just say it's an hour-long weekly drama, with 12 or so episodes and one special. If you love playing piano, or if you just love music, you'll really like this show, since it centers around the piano.
If you like anime, this is a great show to watch, too, because of the major character conflicts and love triangles.
Available as a book by Eriko Kitagawa.
