Notes

This work was produced under the themes of "passing on the memory of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake" and supporting "left-handed pianists.
The entire piece is filled with piano music, including Chopin's masterpiece, a solo piano version of Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2, and a piano piece for left-handed pianists. The main cast members are pianists selected by audition, and the scenes in which they perform their own music make this an authentic music film that resonates with the audience.
The impressive visuals by Yoshino Takemoto, a female director making her feature directorial debut, are also appealing.
