Yukihisa Matsuda, a guest conductor with Rising Star Orchestra in Paris, will perform Wagners Tannhäuser Overture as part of his duties for Recyl Symphony Orchestra. Upon hearing the orchestra members speak highly of Shinichi Chiaki, another budding Japanese conductor from Roux-Marlet Orchestra, Matsuda feels a sense of disdain due to the presence of yet another "Black-Haired Noble" in the city. Following his recent breakup with his mistress after their performance together, Matsuda takes Chiaki out for drinks under the guise of discussing career opportunities. However, much to Chiakis disappointment, the conversation quickly turns to Chiakis own romantic interests.
