Rainbow

Seven teenagers in 1955 have to learn to live together in the same hold in the reformatory of Shounan. Confined in a hall where suffering and humiliation are daily, they are waiting for a ray of hope in a dark, incarcerating world. The story follows their life together and how they move on afterwards.

Fuchu Prison

府中刑務所

This correctional facility in Tokyo served as the primary inspiration for the Shonan Special Reform School depicted in Rainbow. The imposing concrete walls and institutional architecture closely match the oppressive atmosphere of the juvenile detention center where the seven protagonists are imprisoned.

The neon-lit entertainment district of Kabukicho serves as inspiration for several nighttime scenes in PERSONA5 the Animation. This area's vibrant atmosphere and distinctive signage capture the urban energy that reflects the game's Tokyo setting.

The coastal area of Shonan represents freedom and hope in Rainbow, contrasting with the confined prison environment. Several scenes show characters dreaming of or eventually reaching this symbolic beachfront that represents their aspirations for a better life.
