Aki no Kanade

Ten years after moving to Tokyo to become a taiko performer, Aki Miyagawa finds herself uncertain about her future. A call from her hometown offers an unexpected change: its drum festival is returning after fifteen years, and the organizers want her to coach the performers.

Returning home brings Aki back to the place where her love of rhythm began. Helping others prepare gives her a chance to reconsider the dream she has pursued and the experiences that first made it matter.
