【Story】
I want to resonate with you…
The anime series, “Sound! Euphonium”, purely and
sincerely depicted high school girls growing through their
experience in the school's brass band. Ogawa Taichi—who
oversaw the anime series' second season—directs the film
toward forming the central narrative axis around the
characters of Kumiko and Asuka.
