About La Corda D'Oro: Primo Passo

La Corda D'Oro: Primo Passo (金色のコルダ ～primo passo～) blends comedy, drama and music by Yumeta Company and Koei (2006). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. What the story covers: Hino Kahoko is a learner whose school is divided into two branches - the Normal Branch, in which pupils wear grey uniforms, and the Music Branch, in which the pupils wear white. The school's tradition is a music competition, but it it more common that learners from the Music Branch are chosen to compete.

More of the story: Kahoko is surprised one day to encounter a fairy named Lili. Solely because she is the only pupil to see him, she is the only pupil from the Normal Branch to be in the competition. Kahoko doesn't have any musical knowledge, until Lili grants her a magic violin, one that anyone can play if they believe they can truly do it.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Kahoko Hino (Reiko Takagi) and Lili (Kaori Mizuhashi) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. At 25 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
