- Episode I: Love Returns after 20 Years
  “I should’ve professed my love back then, never worrying about rejection.”
  Kaori is a single mother raising a son and baking bread for a living. One day, she visits a new client in her work and is reunited with Yoichi, a man she dated in high school 20 years ago. It had been a platonic relationship, never leading to even a kiss, so Kaori is very surprised to find romantic feelings she had believed long gone re-emerging at the touch of his hand. When Kaori hears of an upcoming concert by Sing Like Talking, a band they both listened to in high school, she invites Yoichi to go with her. They had been leading separate lives all this time, but a new truth was revealed to them. Music was about to reconnect them after 20 years.

  When Haru was in high school, she spent most of her time caring for her sick mother. Neither her father nor her younger offered brother are of much help, and Haru did all the cooking and housekeeping herself. Even so, her mother never thanked her for her efforts and never finished her daughter cooked for her. And yet Haru is determined to perfect her mother’s favorite dish, rolled omelette, hoping she’ll love it. Despite frustration after frustration, this is a dutiful daughter who loves her mother.
