Both appear a little light brown and are difficult to identify. Everything looks brown in her eyes. With the frustration of not being able to feel the same color as normal person, she became unconsciously cynical about her high school life. Shiori and her best friend Yumi Koto (17) goes to the downtown area. They’ve been invited to a karaoke party held by their classmate. Shiori is not good at places with many people. Busy streets of the downtown is depressing. A city with a lot of colors, red and green…. it always makes her unwell. Yumi then picks up something, a faded petal. It was actually a bleached petal. Fascinated with the rare petal, Yumi takes a single photo. In that split second, the petal blinked and blight “red” jumped into Shiori’s eyes. What happened? Why did it shine into red for a moment? Shiori pursues for more petals as if she is pulled by fate or the emotion "love". Countless bleached petals scattered on the ground and rivers pulsate with red, just like a heartbeat. While puzzled, shiori runs, chases the petals. Shiori then discovers her “real red”. Is "real red" really "real fate" for Shiori? This is a parallel love story that depicts the theme delicately and shockingly. Director's statement I wanted to depict "Fate" in this film "Coming Back Sunny" and made it from the original script. Is "love" a "fate"? Does "fate" even exist in the first place? With the characters living in modern-day Japan in 2019, I wanted to create a story that could become a new masterpiece ever since “Romeo and Juliet”. In order to achieve such goal, I took a method of using “color” to visualize the very moment a person encounter with “love”. The main character, Shiori, is a high school girl with color blindness, and I made her to be the character who recognizes “color” by feeling “love”. This is a film depicted with vivid colors and modern music so that all audiences can experience her delicate feeling which she discovers for the first time. I have always made films believing that the movies are “the key to presenting life”, and I have the same belief to this film as well. “Coming Back Sunny” is definitely one of my best work.
