    • Aya (Mayu Matsuoka) is a former piano prodigy who won junior contests domestic and abroad but distanced herself from piano after the death of her mother when she was 13. Akashi (Tori Matsuzaka) has a steady job and is married with kids, but unable to give up on his dream, he takes his last shot at it by entering the competition. Masaru (Win Morisaki) is a top student at an elite music academy struggling with the pressure of being the strongest champion hopeful. Jin (Oji Suzuka) is the mysterious young legacy of the world’s greatest pianist, now deceased. Facing the fierce rivalry of an international competition, the four piano geniuses with completely different backgrounds inspire each other and confront themselves as they grow and “awaken” along the way.
