Japanilainen erhu-muusikko Kanae Nozawa saapuu ensimmäistä kertaa Turkuun ja esittää monipuolisen kattauksen animesävelmiä, kuten Town with an Ocean View elokuvasta Kikin lähettipalvelu, Merry Go Round of Life elokuvasta Liikkuva linna ja A Journey elokuvasta Maameren Tarinat. Konsertissa kuullaan myös muita japanilaisia kappaleita ja Nozawan omaa alkuperäistuotantoa. Mukana esiintymässä ovat anime- ja elokuvamusiikistaan (mm. Studio Ghibli -elokuva Maameren tarinat) tunnettu legendaarinen säveltäjä-kosketinsoittaja Tamiya Terashima sekä pianisti Maki Furugaki. Erhun eli ”kiinalaisen viulun” ilmeikäs sointi on monille tuttu elokuva- ja videopelimusiikista, ja sen monipuolinen sointi pääsee oikeuksiinsa Kanae Nozawan esityksessä.
