Synopsis: Totsuko is 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. Although she doesn’t play an instrument, Totsuko forms a band with Kimi and Rui, a quiet music enthusiast they meet at a used bookstore in a far corner of town. 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’?

Gkids has most of the global rights and are aiming for a winter theatrical release. They aim to have this as a contender for the 2024/25 awards season (they’re trying for a back to back win after The Boy and the Heron), so they’ll at least do a qualifying run before the end of year in the states to get it Oscars certified.
