【Introduction】
For all those who aspire to become those who create in this day and age

Kanata Asaya, a high school boy who is absorbed in making music videos, is moved by a street performance he sees one day and strongly desires to make a music video for that song. However, the singer is Yu Orie, a female teacher who has given up on her musical career.

The screenplay for this film was written by Hanada Jukki, who also worked on Love Live! and A Place Further Than the Universe, and almost all of the visuals, from direction and production to character design, were created by the three members of the video production team "Hurray!", comprised of Popreq, Ohajiki, and Magotsuki.

This is the first theatrical animation released by the team that is currently attracting the most attention, having worked on Yorushika's music video and the ending video for the TV anime "Miss Shikimori is Not Just Cute." It is being produced using the free 3DCG software "Blender" as its main tool, and attention is being drawn to its unique and delicate image creation.
The song sung by Yu Orie in the film is produced by VIVI, who is also active as a Vocaloid producer, and is sung by singer-songwriter Sugawara Kei, who was also selected as Spotify's "RADAR: Early Noise 2022" next-generation artist, with an androgynous and emotional voice, and conveys the feelings that Yu Orie put into the song.

I want the people who watch it to look forward and smile.

To you also,
"A few momnets of cheer."
