Forest of Piano

The story of a grand piano that passed through several generations of outstanding musicians, intertwining their fates, begins when Kai Ichinose, an ordinary troublemaker and the son of a prostitute, finds it abandoned in the forest near his home. The mysterious instrument enthralls Kai, and to his own surprise he discovers in himself a remarkable talent for playing the piano and perfect pitch that could make many famous musicians of the time envious. The boy could never have imagined that his attachment to the old piano would, over time, give rise to many rumors and one sinister legend about a corpse, which his cheeky classmates would use to scare a new student from Tokyo.

That new student turns out to be Shuhei Amamiya, the son of a famous pianist, who becomes Kai's friend and rival on the musical stage. Their friendship and rivalry, set against the backdrop of the old piano, create a captivating story full of ups and downs. The instrument not only unites their fates but also becomes a symbol of their aspirations and dreams, guiding them through life's difficult trials and musical triumphs.
