Cherry-Colored Funk

Kayo, a 28-year-old sound engineer, doesn't just hear music—he sees it in vibrant, swirling colors. His synesthesia is a clinical fact, turning the Tokyo subway into a disorienting light show. When an eccentric pop diva hires him to produce her comeback album, the line between visionary genius and sensory overload begins to blur. This 2025 dramedy explores creativity as a form of escape, where every chord paints reality in a new hue. The director oscillates between absurd workplace comedy and poignant melancholy, crafting a portrait of an artist whose senses are too acute for the mundane world. Set in neon-lit recording studios and the electric buzz of the city at night, the film invites the audience to experience perception through an entirely different lens.
