'''Nickname''': "The Sun on the Sky"

'''Logo''': We see the logo and text from before above the clouds as the sun rises, illuminating everything. In newer films from the company, "製作" is cut from the name, rendering it as simply "Daiei Co., Ltd.".

'''FX/SFX''': The sun rays starting to shine. Fairly simple animation, but good for its time.

'''Music/Sounds''': The opening theme of the movie.

'''Availability''': Can be seen on every film (excluding early ones) produced from the company, including the famous ''Rashomon'', and ''Ju Dou''. It is also seen on later films before the defunct production company's like ''Pulse'' and Akira Kurosawa's ''Dreams''.

'''Editor's Note''': None.
