J-pop artist Haru Nemuri’s new song “Seventh Heaven” will be featured as the theme of an upcoming Japanese movie called Colorless (Japanese title: Sarugakucho de aimasho).
The bittersweet love story, set in modern-day Shibuya, stars Daichi Kaneko as a struggling photographer who falls for an elusive aspiring model, played by Ruka Ishikawa, depicting their intense relationship that gradually begins to unravel after he takes a portrait of her that launches his career.
The trailer, edited by director Takashi Koyama himself, features Haru Nemuri’s dreamy yet steady narration over scenes tracing the lovers’ ephemeral romance, ending with the words: “That love, that emotion, that impulse, that wish, that lie… are they true?” Colorless opens in Japanese theaters June 5.
