Introduction / Unleashed images

Under the direction of a man, color workers at a factory called "Palette Factory" are performing their individual duties with a wealth of individuality today.
They were illustrations drawn by one boy.
The characters are unique based on the colors and characteristics used by the boy.

The Heart of a Future Boy."Pure white lightTheir job is to make it shine with "color workers.
Once the "red" Gaminero, the "black" Bulbul, and the as-yet-unseen "green" color illustration are born, the three colors will blend together to form a transparent light that will brighten the boy's future.
On the other hand, if the black cornstalker, the light-blue Kalibwan, and the magenta Mazelner approach and mix, they will be swallowed by the "dark future".
Everyone was desperate for the birth of light.
Except for Zero, the only one with a black heart....

Then one day, a boy creates a new color illustration.
Some rejoice in the birthday of their friends, others are suspicious.

And the black zero expresses concern that a certain time limit is approaching.
Many colors mix and mingle together to colorfully dye the stage.


Is the boy's future light or dark?
The future of one boy is entrusted to these mysterious colors.

Interview Comments
Mental state and enthusiasm on the first day
Aramaki Yoshihiko as ZERO
(Fukuzawa) Yu's direction is very wonderful, the story is interesting, and the story is really like turning a page in a picture book, page by page, so I hope you will enjoy the feeling of it.

The entire cast and staff have worked together to deliver something really good to everyone, so I think all that remains now is to deliver it with confidence.
Kohki as Bul Bul Bul
I am very much looking forward to it. I hope the audience will enjoy the world created by Yuu (Fukuzawa).
Ryoudai Hirono as F
In this way, I once again thought I was a genius, really.
(Everyone applauded and I responded, "Thank you.")
If you have seen the show, you will understand my genius.
("I think that will be the headline (of the article)," Aramaki quipped.)
Please write! Anti, like, "Hate on me". Please do.
Yusei Mochida as Kalibwan
Personally, there are moments of excitement, moments of thrill, and in any case, I think this is a work that draws you into its worldview, so I hope the audience will join me in the worldview and enjoy it as well. I will do my best!
Wataru Takano as Vanimint
I have a family myself,
("Everyone is here," Hirono tsked.)
Yes, I think that the characters written by boys are sometimes as important or as precious to them as their own families, so love this work and its characters as if they were your family. I want to love and enjoy this work and its characters as if they were my family.
Asayo Tanaka as Mazelner
The main part of the show will be funny with laughter and tears, but the live part (show time) will be fun like a theme park parade, so I will do my best to make the audience leave with smiles on their faces!
This work was created as one of the projects for the TV program "Kikakukan Presentaion Variety - Koto o Yosaka? 〜TV program. What is the appeal of this work from the perspective of Mr. Aramaki and Mr. Abe, who have witnessed the production process from its adoption to the present?
Aramaki Yoshihiko as ZERO
As those of you who watch the show know, we work together on a daily basis and have many close members who have performed together before, but by adding a child actor, a key player, to that group, we have been able to create a show that has "such a different flavor" and "the power of this child actor and the chemistry between us is amazing. I was surprised at how much the taste of the film changes when a child actor, a key person, is added to the cast, and the chemical reaction between the child actor and us is wonderful. I hope that the charms of Mr. Tachibana and Mr. Takahashi will be conveyed to everyone.
KENRASHI ABE as NINE
(This project started with Yuu's desire to create an original fantasy, and I think we were able to incorporate the various thoughts, feelings, and colors of each of the performers into the piece. I am not performing in this production (*video performance), but for the first time in my life, I watched a rehearsal in the rehearsal hall. I could really feel the power and enthusiasm of each and every one of them, and I felt honored to work with such wonderful people. I am honored to be working with such wonderful people. There are also many people who are not here who are also involved in this project, and I would like to deliver this work to everyone with my gratitude.
What was important to you when you were directing the show?
And please give a message to the audience who are looking forward to the performance.
I have tried to bring out the individuality of each performer and his or her weapons, and to make the audience feel immersed in the story and the world. I hope that the audience will be able to enter this world from the entrance, and I will be happy if the audience can feel as happy as possible on the day of the show.
