The illumination designer, Ms. Motoko Ishii was in charge of lighting up such characteristic Japanese edifices as Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Station. The children set out to light up commonplace areas, being divided into four teams. Each group comes up with a theme for the space, and makes a presentation using illuminants with the appropriate color and brightness for it. A unique performance - "The Sound of Water and the Lion God" for the pond, "Youth and Passion" for the gymnasium, "Devastated Library" for the library and "The Toilet where the Spirits Reside" for the toilet - is presented by the children.
