The main video of the animated movie "You, Fireworks, and Promise" has been released, showcasing the story of Makoto Natsume, a passionate painter who finds solace in his art. The movie is set at the Nagaoka Festival Fireworks Festival, one of Japan's three major fireworks festivals.
The Inspiration Behind the New Arc
The main video depicts Makoto's journey as he takes on the challenge of a painting contest, driven by his passion for art and his desire to reconnect with others. During his junior high school days, Makoto was so passionate about painting that he felt a distance from those around him and was driven into solitude, but after meeting the heroine, Hayama Kira, he decided to take up painting again.
