Animated by CLAP (the studio behind Pompo: The Cinéphile ), the film is a visual feast. The artwork captures the hazy, nostalgic beauty of a Japanese summer, with vibrant greens, shimmering heat waves, and the quiet melancholy of rural landscapes. The tunnel itself is depicted as a surreal, otherworldly void, contrasting sharply with the warm, familiar world outside. The soundtrack, composed by Harumi Fuuki, enhances the emotional weight of every scene, using delicate piano melodies and swelling strings to mirror the characters’ internal turmoil and fleeting moments of joy.
