The anime opens in Japan on Friday. It was originally scheduled to open in fall 2023, but is now slated to open in 2024. The film will be shown in IMAX at 51 theaters in Japan.

The story revolves around Totsuko, a high school girl who can see the “colors” of people’s emotions. She attends a missionary school in Nagasaki. In order to keep her friends and family from feeling dark, she worries, reads situations, and even lies to make things work. At an antique bookstore on the corner of town, she meets a beautiful woman with incredibly beautiful skin and a music-loving boy who is trying to form a band. The story follows these three sensitive people who come together to play in a band.
Yamada directed the film at Science SARU. Story Inc. is credited as planner and producer. Reiko Yoshida (K-ON!, Girls und Panzer, Ride Your Wave, Violet Evergarden) wrote the script and Kensuke Ushio (Space Dandy, A Silent Voice, Liz and the Blue Bird, Chainsaw Man) composed the music. Daisuke Richard sketched the original characters, while Takashi Kojima designed the characters and served as animation director. Mr. Children performed the theme song “in the Pocket”.
The film premiered at this year's Annecy International Film Festival in early June. It also won the Best Animated Feature Award at the 26th Shanghai International Film Festival in June.
Sanami Suzuki launched a manga adaptation of the film on Kadokawa's Comic Newtype platform on July 16.
