The trailer features the main character Yatora Yaguchi from the moment when he first sees the angel painting made by the art club of his school which made him make art as his passion and future. The whole trailer shows the struggle Yaguchi faces while pursuing the art. We can see many glimpses of paintings made by Yaguchi. This trailer also features the Theme Song “NOISE” which is performed by WurtS. The comment from WurtS is also arrived:
Originally, “NOISE” was born from the desire to break out of my shell when I first started my music career.
When I was approached about Blue Period’s movie, I felt that this feeling was linked to Yatora’s state of mind in the work, so I started writing a song.I too have had times when what started as “love” has somehow turned into something to express myself, and I couldn’t bear the weight of it. I realized that my “love” has the tendency to involve the people around me over time. That’s why it’s both troublesome and precious.
In this work, I was moved by the way Yatora and the others express themselves through trial and error and pursue what they “love”.
WurtS
I would be happy if you listen to “NOISE” as a cheer song for them.

Kodansha USA licensed this manga in English and describes its plot as:
“Yatora is the perfect high school student, with good grades and lots of friends. It’s an effortless performance, and, ultimately…a dull one. But he wanders into the art room one day, and a lone painting captures his eye, awakening him to a kind of beauty he never knew. Compelled and consumed, he dives in headfirst — and he’s about to learn how savage and unforgiving art can be!“
