Also known as ''La Corda d'Oro'' (the golden string), ''Kin'iro no Corda'' is an OtomeGame with a {{manga}} and {{anime}} adaptation. The [[AnimeOfTheGame anime adaptation]] gives a face to the [[NoNameGiven nameless protagonist]] in the form of Hino Kahoko, an [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent ordinary high school student]] who was given a [[MacGuffin magical violin]] by [[FairyCompanion Lily]], the spirit of the school.

Every few years, the prestigious Seisou Academy holds a prominent musical competition, and only the very best students at the Academy are allowed to participate. Though all are eligible to apply, only students from the music department actually make it to the competition... until now.
