Another music themed anime will hit the screens this April 2018.
Piano no Mori (Piano Forest) follows the story of two different piano players. One is Kai, a son of a prostitute who dreams of being a professional pianist, and Shuhei who is born in a prestigious family of pianists.
When Kai shares his dream in class and gets bullied, he was dared to go to the forest to find the said haunted piano. This leads him into meeting Shuhei. From there, they begin to pursue their music-filled dreams.
Piano no Mori was a manga series written by Makoto Isshiki which ran from 1998 to 2015. It won Best Manga in the 12th Japan Media Arts Festival on 2008. In the same year, it was nominated in the 2008 Japan Academy Prize for Animation for a film adaptation by Madhouse on 2007.
