Nobody can see me, nobody know about me
Nobody can hear me, feel like invisible
Nobody talk about me, nobody bother me
Nobody don’t hate me, feel like invisible
I’m holding my breath while they’re talking a mess
The eyes won’t reflect me and they don’t see me, my dress
I’m holding my breath like when I’m sinking in the water
I taught myself again and again that the less I know the better
Where’s my spot to fit? Where am I?
Where do I go now? Where should I go now?
Do I exist? Does world exist?
I know it hurts to let go but I don’t know how to let it go
Take away my sorrow, my feelings and my thoughts just flow
Nobody can see me, nobody know about me
Nobody can hear me, feel like invisible
Nobody talk about me, nobody bother me
Nobody don’t hate me, feel like invisible
My box is always empty, it’s hard to fill in with something
Cause maybe I’m alien from inner space, they can’t read my face
No one knows what I’m thinking on the bed, I can see a windowlight between you and me
If world can’t see me I would feel at ease
I might feel lonely but I don’t need to be sorry
Run, run, run, run
Run fast as much as I can
Run, run, run, run
Until get to the middle of nowhere
Nobody can see me, nobody know about me
Nobody can hear me, feel like invisible
Nobody talk about me, nobody bother me
Nobody don’t hate me, feel like invisible
Somebody talk about me, who’s gonna bother me
Who’s gonna hate me, feel like invisible

Forever myself.
<Logline>
A 34-minute story of a trans woman gently but firmly taking the first step.
Living my true self.
<Story>
Hikari Shintani (Yu Ishizuka), a trans woman, works at an ornamental fish company and lives alone in Tokyo. While occasionally feeling an indescribable distance between herself and others, she shares a good rapport with her coworkers and a trans woman friend. One day, Hikari returns to her hometown for a business trip. To reveal her true self as a woman, she gathers her courage and texts her old classmate Takashi, a long-unrequited love from high school.
<Introduction>
A Japanese trans woman sees herself as incomplete and lives her social life with low self-esteem. Tsuyoshi Shoji, an openly bisexual film director highly acclaimed for his LGBTQ+ films, captures the journey of the trans woman taking her first firm step by overcoming various microaggressions.
Until recently in Japan, transgender roles were often played by cisgender actors. In this film, the actors were selected in Japan's first-ever audition held specifically for trans women. Out of many applicants, the fashion model Yu Ishizuka was cast for the main role. Few other trans women were also cast through the audition.
As part of the COVID-19 measure, the entire film was shot speedily by a small crew with only one Sony Xperia 1 smartphone.
