- October 8, 2006
Kahoko Hino, a regular high school student, finds herself chosen to participate in the upcoming Seiso Academy's music competition. Despite her lack of knowledge and experience in playing any musical instrument, she is compelled to accept the challenge after meeting one of the contestants, a cold and distant violinist named Azuma Yunoki.
In episode 2, Kahoko attends her first music lesson, where she is introduced to the concept of playing music through a performance by the school's premier ensemble, the Orchestra Club. Following the performance, the club's president, Tsuchiura Ryotaro, invites her to join the club and learn to play the violin.
During her first practice session with the club, Kahoko struggles to produce a decent sound from the instrument and feels discouraged by her lack of progress. Nevertheless, she persists in her efforts and gradually improves with the help of her friends in the club.
Meanwhile, tensions rise among the contestants of the music competition, with several of them expressing their disdain for the competition's focus on classical music. Azuma, in particular, is shown to be plotting something against his fellow contestants, leading to speculation about his true motives and intentions.
As the episode progresses, Kahoko is assigned to perform a gavotte, a classical dance piece, for the upcoming competition. Despite her anxieties, she diligently practices the piece and seeks advice from her friends on how to improve her technique.
However, just as things seem to be looking up for Kahoko, a disastrous event threatens to derail her progress. With the competition looming, Kahoko must find the strength to overcome her fears and doubts, and prove to herself and others that she has what it takes to succeed.
Overall, this episode of La Corda Doro features a blend of drama, humor, and music, as the show's characters navigate the challenges of the Seiso Academy music competition. Through Kahoko's journey of self-discovery and perseverance, viewers are invited to witness the transformative power of music and the importance of pursuing one's passion.
