Overview

When Miu was young, she was fascinated by the piano and took up lessons. When the show opens, Miu is in middle school. She is shy, a softspoken girl who doesn't have a lot of confidence in herself. Her friends would describe her as “sweet” and “quiet.” At this point, Miu has been taking piano lessons for some time and while people have told her that she's gotten very good over the years, Miu herself feels she's not really good at anything – including the piano. Her teacher, Mr. Shirakawa, is often frustrated with her playing. Although she plays every note exactly correct, her heart just isn't in it… Meanwhile, Miu's come of the age when she's noticing boys and this shy young lady has noticed the handsome Kazuya Takahashi – even if he hasn't noticed her. This is Miu's story. The story of a young girl who is on a journey to discover the melody within her own heart and the courage to express it.   (Source: RightStuf)

Synopsis 日本語

野村美雨（のむらみう）は中学2年生の女の子。小さい頃からピアノを習っているが、自分にいまひとつ自信が持てない。彼女の親友・松原優希は陸上部に所属し、性格は美雨とは反対にはっきりしている。でも2人は一緒に笑ったり泣いたりとても仲がよい。このアニメは、家族、親友、恋人といったごくありふれた風景のなかで、美雨が悩みながらも成長していく様子を描いた作品である。
