Synopsis The story takes us together with a boy named Shuuhei Amamiya, who has moved thanks to his mother's work. Amamiya is the son of a great pianist and consequently wishes to follow in his footsteps. When he arrives at his new school they tell him the story of the piano in the forest, which is said to be played by someone at night, but when anyone tries it, the piano does not make any sound. Kai (a poor boy who studies in the same school as Amamiya) is the only one capable of playing the so-called forest piano, together with Amamiya they embark on a story where musicality and entertainment are assured.
