As audience members sing a phrase in nursery-rhyme style with the performer, a fairy’s wish to fly through the sky is granted little by little. Buoyed by the chanting of the audience, Pippo, the flower fairy, takes courage and holds fast to her dream; before she knows it, she flies, with a joy that spreads to the audience through kyokan. The experience resonates with each viewer thanks to the fresh approach of this audience-participation kamishibai.
