A Distinguished Father

Synopsis

The heat pouring from every inch of Iwatora's body guides the sound. Aono and the others cling desperately to his harsh coaching. The piece is Yasushi Akutagawa's "Music for Symphony Orchestra." Out of nowhere, Subaru asks him: "What's it like to have a genius for a father?" His father, Ryuuji Aono, a world-class violinist. Akutagawa, too, may have struggled under the shadow of his own father, Ryūnosuke Akutagawa. What he should do now is play the violin. As he speaks of his complicated feelings toward his father, Aono renews his resolve.
