Yuko passes her exam through recommendation, Sora has lost her dream, and Shinya is struggling after giving up baseball. Though they are in the same classroom, their journeys are completely different. Their three stories are connected by Pachelbel’s “Canon.” In music, a canon is created when the same melody overlaps at slightly different times, forming something beautiful. This story works in the same way. Their lives begin to move separately, then come together under one sky at the school festival planetarium. We hope you will see the moment they meet.
