On the Amazon Prime Anime social media account, Amazon Prime Video has confirmed that Naoko Yamada’s latest film, The Colors Within, will be available for streaming on their platform from 19 September 2025.
The Colors Within is the latest anime film from Studio Science SARU and Naoko Yamada, the director of A Silent Voice and Liz and the Blue Bird. The Colors Within tells the story of Totsuko, a girl with synesthesia who can see people as colours. She particularly loves the colours of her classmate, Kimi, who she thinks gives off the most beautiful colours of all. The chance encounter of Totsuko, Kimi and a music-loving boy called Rui leads the three of them to form a band together while trying to find their “true colours” in the process.
This film initially premiered in Japanese theatres on 30 August 2024. It has since been screened in the Annecy International Animation Festival and won the Golden Goblet Award for Best Animation Film at the 2024 Shanghai International Film Festival. The film premiered in Indonesian cinemas in April 2025.
Notable staff members in this film, aside from director Naoko Yamada, include Reiko Yoshida (K-On!, Girls und Panzer, Violet Evergarden) as scriptwriter and Kensuke Ushio (Space Dandy, A Silent Voice, Liz and the Blue Bird) as music composer. Mr. Children performed the theme song for this movie, titled In the Pocket.
