Me on my way home after watching 'The Colors Within'
Gotta appreciate KyoAni's need to lovingly render instruments and animate the playing of them.
Yes, those are Catholic nuns dancing to the song.
Yes, the song does mean "amen" in the Christian usage, an in-universe devout Catholic schoolgirl wrote it.
Yes, every member of this band is dressed in a completely different fashion style from one another, it's a great touch that is never acknowledged, along with their contrasting stage presences.
Yes, Yamada Naoko enjoys directing quiet understated films and Kimi no Iro/Colors Within (an interesting translation choice) is even more quiet, reserved, and slice of life. No high drama or heightened emotions here, so I was surprised to feel quite moved by the performances. I think part of that is because the animation put in so much evident care. And this song is a banger and I'm gonna listen to it on loop.
The English version of the song had to tweak the lyrics to fit the beat. Here is the English dub version with the English subtitles for the Japanese audio:
