A 66-year-old cicada delivers a powerful monologue, drawing comparisons between the events in Hiroshima and Fukushima. The insect reflects on the destruction caused by the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, tsunami, and subsequent radiation leaks at the Fukushima Daichii plant. The title references 66 years since the bombings and the 3/11 disaster, with the number 4 representing the affected reactors. The work received the Noburou Oofuji Award at the Mainichi Film Awards in February 2012.
