"This is a moment of 'Declaration of Being'. In 'Steps in the Street', the leader has a voice. The leader’s voice is the other women’s voice: I am here in the midst of hardship, chaos, and nothingness – we want to show our being. Our being as a person, being as a woman, and being as a group of women. We are here, and we are standing here together. That is our struggle."
– Miki Orihara as the leader in "Steps in the Street" from Chronicle
