Synopsis
Mina (Machiko Ono) and Shinji (Yosuke Eguchi) have been married for 10 years. Mina gives piano lessons at home and they have decided not to have a child until she wins an international music competition.

One day, Minda finds a boy in her yard. The boy is covered in dirt and expressionless. Mina learns later that the boy was abused by his parents and his parents did not show up. The boy goes to an orphanage. Several days later, the boy appears again in her yard. Shinji feels a sense of fate over the boy who has appeared in their yard two times. He begins to search secretly about special adoptions.

Cast
Ono Machiko as Umeda Mina

A pianist whose father is a world-famous conductor. She married Umeda Shinji when she was 25. She decided that she will not have children until she is recognised as a professional pianist and scrapes by with piano lessons for children at home while she sets her sights on winning the international competition. She has continued this challenge since her teens. Now at the age of 35, she has a record of 49 consecutive losses. Her dream has not come true, she has also not given birth to a child and struggles to smile in front of people. But even this smile does not get across to children and she cannot deny that she is hopeless. She shouts at the toilet bowl at home every day to vent her pent-up frustration.

Eguchi Yosuke as Umeda Shinji

Umeda Mina’s husband. He works for a real estate management company nearby. He is unusually good-natured and is constantly losing out, but he has no intention of changing his personality. Because he has a tendency to believe that there is meaning in every encounter and event, he loves superstitious things like the time and car number plates. His father has passed away and his elderly mother is in a facility. He has a younger sister and brother who always bring trouble, but he does not think it is a big problem. He loves Mina and her piano wholeheartedly and is not afraid to express his love even now that they have been married for 10 years. But he actually has a family secret that he cannot even disclose to her.

Yokoyama Ayumu as Little boy

A child who has been abandoned by his parents. He appears in from of Umeda Mina and Shinji all of a sudden. Because he has built an emotional wall and does not talk at all, his name is not known. He only responds to Mina’s piano.

Hayami Mokomichi as Umeda Takumi

Umeda Shinji’s younger brother. He is mild-mannered and the type that appeals to maternal instinct. An absolutely hopeless fellow who has no regular job and constantly gets into trouble over female relationships, but he is impossible to hate. He thinks that marriage and the institution of family have no meaning and has chosen to remain single.

Yo Kimiko as Domoto Machi

A veteran staff of a children’s counselling centre who possesses child welfare qualifications. She is an important person who will hand down the verdict whether the Umedas can adopt the boy. She has an ominous air where one knows what she is thinking
