Those Snow White Notes

Sawamura Setsu's grandfather, who raised him and his older brother Wakana, was a renowned shamisen player. Setsu, who had grown up listening to and learning from his grandfather, was deeply influenced by his music. After his grandfather's passing, Setsu dropped out of high school and moved to Tokyo, struggling to find direction or purpose beyond playing the shamisen. His mother, Umeko, a successful businesswoman, intervenes and enrolls him back in school, setting in motion a path that will help Setsu rediscover his passion for music.
