We created a fictional company called "ORGAN" as a sponsor of these TV commercials, where each organ was advertised as if it is products of "ORGAN" company. These organ commercials were broadcast during the science educational TV programme for kids. In this film"Lungs", we open to young girl in the nighttime screams at a thief and her both parents come to the living room and scream as well. However, their voices make a beautiful harmony, culminating with her grandmother's voice. We realise in the end of the film their long breathes and a perfect harmony express the exhaling power of lungs.
While Japanese educational level is quite high in the world, there are many elementary school students who are not good at science. Moreover, statistics show they are less interested especially in “the human body”. This decline in students' positive attitude toward science is one of the big social issues in Japan and our government has been tackling with the problem.
