< Story >
A world where blue people and orange people exist.
The two were merely different, but over a trivial matter, Orange began to exclude Blue and Blue were forced to live within the 'Wall'.
Sixty years later, a young blue man called Usagi (rabbit) spends his monotonous days inside the Wall. One day, his friend Tom, who is a lesbian, invites him to go outside the Wall. Usagi decides to go beyond the Wall.
For both of them, the world outside the Wall is seemingly a dream, but it soon becomes clear that only Orange is welcome here, and Blue is still discriminated against. Eventually, they meet a group of young people who are campaigning for the demolition of the Wall. They join the movement for a place to stay at first, but soon, they become involved in the activity.

—If you could see the wall…
A complete original sung-through musical depicting real-world discrimination in a fictional setting.
