“Your Lie in April” is about a piano prodigy named Arima Kousei. He was strictly trained to play the piano by his mother ever since he was a child. After his coldhearted and abusive mother died, he had a mental breakdown while performing the piano at age of 12. In line with this, he can no longer hear the sound of the piano even though his hearing is perfectly fine. One day, he meets a young girl named Miyazono Kaori who changes his outlook in life.
