## I'm the other-dimensional idol, AiRis!
This movie is **based on a novel written by AiRis herself, inspired by past events in my own life.**
However, **it is not a story that ends by treating school truancy or orthostatic dysregulation merely as a "dark past."**
It is a story that depicts:
**The time I continued to live despite it all**
**The heart that still cared for someone**
**The light that was undoubtedly there**
At the core of my activities, **my driving force is to publicly share about "orthostatic dysregulation" and "school truancy," hoping to deepen understanding and make the illness more known.**
Since my debut, I've always thought "I want to turn this into a visual medium someday." Considering the timeframe in which I can play myself, the time to shoot is now!
I decided to "just go for it and challenge myself!"
Therefore, this work **proposes a "new form of fandom" where the very act of supporting your favorite idol leads to social contribution.**
Fans' support will not only sustain the film's production but also, through screening events and DVD distribution after completion, serve as a power to deliver hope to children and parents facing the same struggles.
**We aim to expand the choices for children with a future by creating a cycle of kindness fueled by the passion of entertainment.**
## A Movie That Reaches Children Through [Social Issues x Fantasy]
This film is a coming-of-age story where reality and fantasy intersect, based on the real-life experiences of the actual girl, "AiRis."
**Bullying, truancy, orthostatic dysregulation.**
While tackling the realities modern children face head-on, the story never ends with just "hardship."
Through fantasy elements like the Rainbow Goddess Iris and the "Ascension Crystal," the protagonist learns the following:
Light is not something given from the outside.
It is simply remembering what was already inside you all along.
This work will be an ally to children and parents in similar circumstances, and to **"anyone who hasn't been understood."**
**AiRis herself stopped going to school for the first time in second grade, and made the "choice not to go to school" in sixth grade.**
Precisely because I am someone who has experienced this, and because I am not yet an adult, I will create a movie from a perspective as close to a child's as possible, making them think "This is interesting, I want to watch it."
Also, filming will take place in AiRis's hometown of Fukuoka.
With the help of the "assistant director," the technical staff, and the cast, I will do my best so we can deliver this work by cooperating with everyone!
