The project focuses on "reevaluating one's hometown" and telling stories that come from rural areas. The video will focus on Kobe City, a common setting in Japanese films, often considered one of the birthplaces of Japanese cinema, and a city where "new stories constantly emerge from." The video will tell a sci-fi fantasy story set in the city's Goshikizuka Kofun mound, a restored burial site thought to hold tombs of a 4th-century clan. The story centers on Natsushima, who has fallen from the sky in a world of a lost civilization.
Shino is credited for the original concept, and as concept designer and animator. Piano rock band Katsuhiro Takei is credited for planning for the project.
