Through the fusion of cinematic VFX, master-level voice acting from Japan’s premier talent, and a live multi-camera system that allows viewers to choose between five perspectives in real-time, this performance transforms storytelling into a shared experience. Audiences worldwide follow the characters not as observers, but as fellow travelers, descending with them into the deepest, darkest chambers of the human soul.

Yukio Imamura has spent years hating himself—wishing he could disappear into someone else’s life.
Inside his mind stretches a vast, shifting world born from fear, anxiety, guilt, forgotten memories… and a fragile spark of hope.
In this inner landscape, he is forced to face the one person he has avoided the most: himself.
What is salvation?
Who is the “real” me beneath all the pain I’m carrying?
And where does life lead when you finally choose to keep living?
As Yukio grapples with these questions, his soul trembles between breaking and becoming.
This is the story of a young man standing on the edge of himself—
and discovering how terrifying, and beautiful, self-acceptance can be.

Ashiato (Footprint)– traces of a life – is a dramatic staged reading performance that follows a young man suffering from devastating loneliness, obsessive–compulsive disorder, and a lifetime of crushed self-worth. Through counseling, he takes his first quiet steps toward gentle healing, forgiveness, and self-acceptance.
For the nights when your heart feels too heavy,
for the moments when you wish the World would fade away—
this story reaches out, sits beside you,
and whispers that you’re not alone.
