Children Untold


☀︎


Jacket design for the soundtrack album released in conjunction with Miwa Nishikawa’s film Children Untold.



The film portrays the untold lives of children who lost their families and homes during World War II. In the film, the children are consumed by the struggle to survive on their own, leaving little room for smiles. What sets the film apart is the inexplicable strength these children possess, despite the harrowing circumstances.

To capture the film’s quiet yet powerful atmosphere, the jacket design features an intense, bleeding red that evokes both blood and the sun—symbols of life itself.
