Kanemaru-san, who usually delivers informative content, picked 'K-On!' as the work that moved him to tears.

Kanemaru-san shares a curious anecdote about why listening to music by John Lennon and Yoko Ono triggers memories of a specific manga series. He explores the fascinating connection between music and memory, so be sure to listen to the full episode to discover the hidden link between that music and the manga.
