- Toko lives loose in the present, working part-time for a telephone dating service agency. One day, she meets Yok-kun, a guitarist and vocalist in a popular band on the verge of their major label debut. Yok-kun falls for Toko's down-to-earth, natural character, but as he tries to discuss something important, Toko hums and balks. Deep down, there is an elusive Toko. A heart that was broken as a child... A heart that cannot trust people... This is a coming-of-age ensemble drama about Yok-kun and his friends being at the mercy of Toko, who is stuck in her small shell of darkness. Director Masahiro Nishioka adapted the play "Humming" by the theater company Kodomo Kyojin, which regrettably disbanded in 2022. Takashi Masuyama, who is the former director of the theater company, as well as the original playwright, made bold changes to the play and directed it himself, using young leading actors from the Kansai region. The acting skill that shines where simplicity is pursued is like a showcase of a small theater. This is a unique work, shot by Nishioka Masahiro in a novel style.
