Episode 1: Junpei returns to Japan to take care of the children

On that night five years ago, Natsume Junpei stood on the podium in Vienna. The audience was excited and applauded thunderously.That was the peak of his career, but it was also the beginning of everything.Five years later, in the autumn of 2023, Junping has resigned from his conducting job and is wandering the streets of Vienna alone. The glory of the past seems to have faded away.Family alienation, career loss, everything seems to be impossible to turn around.

However, fate is always full of unexpected turns.A phone call from Zhifan caused ripples in Junping's life again.This friend, whom he had not seen for five years, invited him to return to Japan to take care of the children.At the moment he received the call, Junping felt both excited and uneasy.He knows that this return is not only a compensation for his family, but also a reflection and redemption of his past.

After returning to Japan, Junping found that his daughter Xiaoxiang had a cold attitude towards him, and he himself knew nothing about anything except music.Handling household chores and communicating with children, everything seems so strange.However, life is like this, always growing through constant attempts and failures.Although the lives of the three father and son were a little awkward at first, gradually they found each other's rhythm and how to get along with each other.

At the same time, the appearance of Furuya Satoru made Junping's life turbulent again.The head of the Harumi Government Tourism Section invited Junping to serve as the conductor of the Citizen Symphony Orchestra, the Harumi Philharmonic Orchestra.However, facing Furuya's request, Junping initially refused.He is no longer the glorious conductor he was five years ago, and he is afraid that his failure will affect the future of the orchestra.

As the person in charge of Qingjian Cultural Center, Xiao Xiang has close ties with this orchestra.Although she had a cold attitude towards her father, she couldn't help but worry about the future of the band after learning about the band's situation.And when Mori Dahui asked her about Junping, she fell into deep thought.She began to understand that her father's return was no accident and had a deeper meaning and responsibility behind it.

Finally, after learning about the plight of the Harumi Band, Junpei decided to accept Furuya's invitation.He hopes to bring new vitality to the orchestra through his own efforts.His decision aroused Xiao Xiang's attention, and she began to re-examine her father's choice and significance.And behind all this is Zhifan's silent dedication and arrangements.
