The 52-track collection features both score music as well as full-length versions of songs performed by the film’s characters, ranging from atmospheric, piano-driven melodies to electronic, idiosyncratic instrumentation and even New Wave-influenced synth tracks. The film is currently in US theaters under a limited engagement courtesy of GKIDS and more information on dates and times can be found on the official site.

GKIDS describes THE COLORS WITHIN:

Totsuko is a high school student with the ability to see the ‘colors’ of others. Colors of bliss, excitement, and serenity, plus a color she treasures as her favorite. Kimi, a classmate at her school, gives off the most beautiful color of all. Although she doesn’t play an instrument, Totsuko forms a band with Kimi and Rui, a quiet music enthusiast they meet at a used bookstore in a far corner of town. As they practice at an old church on a remote island, music brings them together, forming friendships and stirring affections. Will they discover their true ‘colors’?
