A first look at the animated film "Hanaroku ga Akeru Hi" has been made available to the public in the form of the opening scene. This work marks the feature-length directorial debut of Yoshitoshi Shinomiya, who not only directed but also wrote the original story and screenplay.
Shinomiya, who has previously contributed to productions by renowned directors such as Makoto Shinkai and Sunao Katabuchi, is also active as a Japanese painter. The film's plot unfolds over two days and revolves around a fireworks factory slated for demolition due to urban renewal, as well as a legendary firework named Shuhari.
The newly released footage begins with a coastal scene at sunrise. The camera follows one of the main characters, Kaoru, and shows shots of freely swimming whales and expansive, mystical-looking natural landscapes. As the opening sequence progresses, the focus shifts to a city that has lost its original character.
