Namiko Ishidate

I'm the only one who can't live without an oxygen tank in the underwater world. No matter how suffocated I feel, I preserve peace and harmony by pretending the selfish girl and my friends with complicated family backgrounds don't bother me.

Short animated film adapting the picture book by Yumi Shimokawara.

A short anime directed by Namiko Ishidate in collaboration with music by Ryokuoushoku Shakai. A part of the "TOHO animation: Music Films" project, in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of TOHO animation.

This is a dream of a girl who is imagining to be a bird. The title "tayutaum" is a combination of the words "揺蕩う夢: tayutau yume (floating dream)", "白昼夢: hakuchuumu (daydream)", and "aquarium". I want the audience to feel the physical sensation of flying in the sky or floating in the water.

The fourth-grade protagonist is going through physical and emotional changes and feels awkward as she can't help but compare herself to her friends. One day, she is blown away by her classmate Aya's swimming and realizes that she has feelings for her.

How long has it been since she lost control of her body? She is completely tapped out and finds herself wishing that she could just shed her body.
