Plot: A young director is trying to get a film made about the female voice in Japan. For that, he seeks out several young women who are willing to tell their stories in front of the camera. He finds various people who are game, and each one has a very particular and unique way of approaching her femininity.

A spiritual successor to Tokyo.sora, only not quite as effective. The black-and-white cinematography is striking and the focus on several young women in Tokyo felt familiar, but even though the setup is clear enough, the film lacks a bit of cohesion, failing to bring all these stories together.
The visuals are impeccable, though the choice for black-and-white did feel a bit easy (and maybe also unnecessary). Performances are solid and the drama is fine, but I didn't think the film had anything really important to tell. It's maybe a bit too short and its focus a little too shattered across different characters. Still, it's a fine drama, just nowhere as great as its older sibling.
