Episode Details

What happens when a broken piano prodigy meets a free-spirited violinist who refuses to let him stay in the shadows? Your Lie in April is a breathtaking story about trauma, love, artistry, and the painful beauty of growing up. As Kousei slowly relearns how to feel through Kaori’s fiery joy and unpredictable brilliance, the series turns music into emotion and emotion into memory. Every performance is a confession, every episode a crescendo towards heartbreak and hope.

It is tender, devastating, unforgettable — a masterpiece that moves your heart even as it breaks it.

The latest episode of More Than Hentai has arrived and it sees the salt and pepper senpai, Brendan White joined on stage by the extremely talented Isha Bassi to not only play Moonlight Sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven, but also share their thoughts on Naoshi Arakawa and A-1 Pictures 2014 romantic drama hit, Your Lie in April.

At Sakura Society, we’re here to help you decide if this emotional symphony deserves a spot on your watchlist — and your tissue supply.

As a friendly FYI, this episode will be a full deep dive on episode one, titled "Monotone/Colourful", so be ready for spoilers.

Also please note that Isha's audio track experienced some minor feedback at times - we've cleaned it up as best as possible but some minor interference can be hear throughout the episode.
