Forest of Piano
ピアノの森 (TV)
Available on
A tranquil tale about two boys from very different upbringings. On one hand you have Kai, born as the son of a prostitute, who's been playing the abandoned piano in the forest near his home ever since he was young. And on the other you have Shuuhei, practically breast-fed by the piano as the son of a family of prestigious pianists. Yet it is their common bond with the piano that eventually intertwines their paths in life. (Source: KEFI)

How watching this pays the artists
Every time you watch Forest of Piano on a legitimate streaming service, a portion of that revenue flows back to Gaina, the voice actors, the composer, and the animators who made it. Subscribing or watching on an ad-supported tier is how the work continues.
Where the money actually goes
Streaming services pay licensing fees to the production committee that financed the show. That committee distributes revenue to the studio, the publisher of the source material, the music label, and the broadcasters who originally aired it. The animators themselves are typically employed or contracted by the studio; their pay comes from the studio’s share of these licensing dollars.
Piracy doesn’t reduce streaming-service revenue evenly — it removes the underlying viewership that justifies future licensing investment. Less licensing investment means smaller studio budgets, lower pay for animators, and fewer shows greenlit.
Torinagi surfaces every legitimate option so you can watch on the service you already pay for, or on a free ad-supported tier if one carries this show. We never host video.
