This was actually really nice to watch. It goes back to earlier moments and focuses more on Kousei’s rivals showing why they look up to him so much. It’s cool seeing their side of the story and how their rivalry with Kousei started.

Synopsis
The rivalry between three piano geniuses in Towa Hall starts with the prodigy Kousei Arima. While his emotive first performance enamors the free-spirited Emi Igawa, Kousei eventually evolves his technique to become exact and precise, finding himself a new follower in the eccentric Takeshi Aiza. Unbeknownst to outsiders, the two other players begin to target Kousei with their respective performances. Emi attempts to convert Kousei back to his old self with her vibrant playing, while Aiza turns his admiration for Kousei into motivation to beat him at his own game. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

It shows how Takeshi and Emi’s rivalry with Kousei began. It’s light, fun, and gives more depth to the side characters. A great extra for fans who want to see more of the piano world.
What a refreshing breather after all the feels. The prelude before it all began is surprisingly full of details that are totally ignored in the main storyline. What a good episode that covers everyone's story. Oh, and I totally love the childish bickering of the adults.
