THE COLORS WITHIN きみの色

“Sweetly dreamy, as soft as the snowfall captured in a snow globe—picture-perfect images of life held close—and the music is sweet, too.” – Riotus 

Naoko Yamada’s (A SILENT VOICE) newest masterpiece introduces Totsuko, a high school student with the ability to see the ‘colors’ of others. Colors of bliss, excitement, and serenity, plus a color she treasures as her favorite. Kimi, a classmate at her school, gives off the most beautiful color of all. Totsuko forms a band with Kimi and Rui, a quiet music enthusiast they meet at a used bookstore. As they practice at an old church on a remote island, music brings them together, forming friendships and stirring affections.  Will they discover their true ‘colors’?  

As sensitive as ever to teenagers’ growing pains, animator and director Naoko Yamada paints an exquisite rainbow of adolescent blues.
