Modern Love Tokyo: He's Playing Our Song
モダンラブ・東京 ~彼が奏でるふたりの調べ~
Synopsis
Awkward Tamami, drinking at a bar, is moved by music recalling her shy pianist friend Rin.
Though her high school days are long behind her, Tamami Sakurai is still just as awkward and clumsy as ever. At night, she is often seen at a local Tokyo bar, which has become a safe haven from her stressful job. After a few too many drinks, Tamami begins to feel as if she is invincible, but the hangover afterward begs to differ. One such night ends on a disparate note when an intoxicated Tamami hears some familiar chords playing on the record player, bringing tears to her eyes as she recalls bygone years. The melody reminds her of a shy pianist named Rin Kajitani—a boy who was once the closest friend she ever had.
