Overview

Piano prodigy Arima Kosei dominated the competition and all child musicians knew his name. But after his mother, who was also his instructor, passed away, he had a mental breakdown while performing at a recital that resulted in him no longer being able to hear the sound of his piano even though his hearing was perfectly fine. Even two years later, Kosei hasn't touched the piano and views the world in monotone, and without any flair or color. He was content at living out his life with his good friends Tsubaki and Watari until, one day, a girl changed everything. Miyazono Kaori is a pretty, free spirited violinist whose playing style reflects her personality. Kaori helps Kosei return to the music world and show that it should be free and mold breaking unlike the structured and rigid style Kosei was used to.

What kind of maternal love is there? YES, SHE BEAT HIM WITH A STICK UNTIL HE BLED IN FRONT OF PEOPLE for an improperly performed passage, in her opinion, for an excerpt filled with the longing and love of a son who endured her cruelty and wanted to cure his mother with his music.
I do not believe that the mother's cruelty was caused by a character deformity due to a serious illness, and even more so by her desire to ensure a decent future for her son, it's about her vanity, self-esteem, if you will, and this was clearly stated in the series, she wanted her son to achieve what she could not achieve. By myself. Damn it, there's a limit to everything, and Mother has overstepped the mark!
My heart sinks every time I see Kosei in despair, and this wild grin of the ghost of the mother in the boy's mind, and this episode and the episode with the mother's outburst of rage after the contest brought me to tears.
I have all. I feel better.

She will be terribly missed. To everyone without exception.
She appeared in their lives and brought into it so many smiles, tears and rash actions that it is simply impossible to forget her.
She wasn't perfect-she was herself and that's great.
She will remain in their hearts forever.

None of the above justifies Kosei's mother by and large. :)

After such performances, it would be a pity if Arima screwed up, I feel sorry for these two rivals.
