Kimi no Iro (Your Color) is a landmark coming-of-age anime film that marks the third collaboration between director Naoko Yamada, writer Reiko Yoshida, and composer Kensuke Ushio. Released in 2024, the film moves away from Yamada’s previous focus on competitive performance (e.g., K-ON! , A Silent Voice , Liz and the Blue Bird ) to explore a quieter, more metaphysical premise: a girl who sees people’s emotions as colors. The film has been lauded for its tactile animation, sensitive portrayal of neurodivergence and social anxiety, and its sophisticated use of color theory as a narrative device. It premiered at Annecy International Animation Film Festival and won the Audience Award at the 2024 Scotland Loves Anime festival.
Composer Kensuke Ushio (known for A Silent Voice , Chainsaw Man , The Heike Story ) returns with a minimalist, hybrid score: Kimi no Iro
