The visual direction is by Natsuki Kida, a filmmaker known for dark fantasy. She depicts a mysterious night through a nostalgic video created with meticulous attention to artistic elements such as characters and background art. In bringing to life the enchanting and beautiful world woven by the song and Aimer’s vocals, I wanted to set the story in a “black forest” illuminated only by moonlight and the shimmer of stars, and portray the events of a mysterious night. A girl who descends from a castle in the sky to the forest below falls asleep. The figure of the girl dancing on in the forest also seems like another version of herself. Is this reality, or a dream the girl is seeing...? Only a polka-dotted beast wandering through the forest watched over the events of that one night. I researched every kind of dance form, including ballet and contemporary dance, and paid particular attention to the girl’s movements in order to create a mysterious presence. I hope that after watching the video, viewers will be left with a strange feeling, as if they have traveled beyond time and space. (Director: Natsuki Kida)

FUTURE IDOL – NANIMONO

2025
00:03:57
Description: At some point in time, humanity vanished from Earth in an instant. Countless pieces of space debris are scattered across Earth’s orbit. Among that debris, an optical disc happens to slip into a player, and the track begins to play. The thoughts left within the music take on the physical phenomenon of vibration and rain down upon the Earth. Parabolic antennas on the ground listen to the vibrations, and radio towers transmit radio waves of their own accord. Signage in an abandoned city displays the performer’s image, obscured by noise, while a three-dimensional hologram is projected onto a sandy beach. Waves gently brush against feet, and a semi-transparent body traces out the choreography. A roadside cathode-ray tube set bears a face mottled with static, hallucinating seven figures who should not be there. When the track ends, the player ejects the optical disc. The Earth glows, and the debris continues to circle in orbit.

Listening to Thoughts Growing Distant - Nagase Yuka

2025
00:06:01
Commentary: In representing Mr. Nagase, who exists across the dimensions of media, what I had in mind was to show the moment of crossing between dimensions. The passage back and forth between dimensions gradually accelerates, until eventually it crosses dimensions frame by frame. So rapid that the temporal arrangement can be mistaken for spatial contact, and with a movement of flicker that is too fast to stop and yet seems to stand still, the translucent body placed within it can touch you on the retina, between frame and frame. The haze that only becomes visible through motion was also fitting for a melody that feels as if carved out of a raging current—or perhaps written automatically—gentle / eerie / light. Listen to the blur, like a lump of light, with your eyes and ears.

This was the “Tsukiuta” video for November 2025, broadcast on TV Tokyo’s infant and toddler program “Shinapushu.” Aiming to create visuals that babies and young children could enjoy intuitively, the piece was produced by combining a variety of techniques, including hand-drawn animation, clay stop-motion animation, and live-action compositing. The main character, the mochi “Mocchan,” was sculpted in clay and animated in real life in order to give it a three-dimensional feel. Inspired by the texture and rhythm of SAKANAMON’s music, the video visualizes the feeling of “liking something” through rounded forms and pleasant motion. Set in a fantastical world, it was finished in the style of a road movie, following “Mocchan” on a journey in a kitchen car. Techniques: hand-drawn animation, stop-motion, clay animation, live-action compositing, After Effects

Video Installation
 Display, Web camera, PC, Video, Sound
Duration: variable
 Sound: AI-generated On March 27, 2025, the landscape between Tachikawa and Tama Center was recorded with a high-resolution high-speed camera through the window of the Tama Monorail in western Tokyo. Taking this single recording as its source material, this work rewrites the temporal and spatial structure of the image through digital coordinate transformation, thereby transforming the very temporal and spatial experience of 'passing' itself. Rendered through continuously varying timings and parameters, streams of transformed footage play on seamlessly, their paths shifting in response to the viewer's act of 'watching' or 'not watching' the screen. Responding to this non-linear generation, the sound is produced in real time through an AI model. Carrying its contradictions within, the landscape flows endlessly on — from right to left, without cease. In time, this flow quietly works upon the viewer's perception, and the relations between distance, speed, and time gradually come undone.

00:05:23
Silent, Seamless Loop (21 min) A video installation that records waves washing up on and receding from the shore, then applies digital manipulation to transform the temporal and spatial position of every pixel. As a result, the passage of time gradually shifts from one part of the frame to another. This multiplication of time breaks down and estranges the movement of the incoming waves, while at the same time acting on the viewer’s sense of time and perception of space. The work itself has a seamless loop structure with neither beginning nor end, drawing the viewer into a distinctive spacetime.

Mid Tide #3

2024
00:07:00
3-channel video, silent 48:49 seamless loop Presented in Furusawa’s solo exhibition held in January 2024 as a new work in the MidTide series, which he has been developing since 2023. This work is a video installation created on the coast of Minamiboso, Chiba Prefecture, where waves and rocks were captured in the frame and approximately three and a half hours of changes in light and tide were recorded. Using that footage as source material, the artist then carried out data manipulations that reconfigure the temporal dimension of the video. If the footage is arranged as a sequence of still images, it can be represented as a three-dimensional space in which time becomes the depth axis. Video playback is the process of moving one cross-section of this solid form continuously from front to back, but in this work that linear trajectory is intentionally deviated from and allowed to rotate freely. The time treated here is different from the time we ordinarily experience. Unlike normal experience, only the waves, as the subject, retain their form and motion, indicating the passage of time. Just as changes in the tide quietly transform the landscape before one realizes it, this work subtly erodes the viewer’s perception of time and space. This work digitally reinterprets traditional temporal expression in the video medium and explores new possibilities for the visual experience of moving images.

This is a multi-channel video installation work created by filming a seascape of waves for an extended period with a fixed camera, and by applying temporal manipulation to environmental sound data. States in which the progression, stagnation, reversal, compression, and expansion of time and space gradually shift and invert are repeated. The video and audio are processed in the same way, and by matching them to the positions of four speakers arranged in line with the three displays, when you move closer to the screen, the environmental sound corresponding to that part and timing can be heard. In this way, the sound and image of each breaking wave that repeatedly appears are tied to the flow of time at the moment of filming. The work also has a seamless loop structure. There is no major change in the overall time axis in relation to the repeating waves. The sun does not set, and the tide does not rise or fall. Eternally repeating, suspended time and space gradually draw in the viewer’s perception as well.

Sandbox

I have continued working on cross-disciplinary production, such as pictorial images with cinematic qualities and painterly animation. This work, *Sandbox*, is an experiment in replacing painting and animation with a game engine. In this work, I used a game engine to create an “electronic sculpture” and attempted to visualize a non-tactile sense of reality. By following afterimages that traverse space, it aims to unsettle the viewer’s bodily perception. At the same time, an autoplay function was built in so that the game would assimilate into the environment like ambient music, becoming a “passive game / background game.” It is an interaction/installation in which the viewer/player can seamlessly move back and forth between “play,” controlled with a controller, and “viewing,” without using a controller.

Suspensions

2026
Stone, camera, and display are suspended in a straight line. While the camera and the display each perform pendulum motions with different phases, they capture and present the stone in real time. The motionless stone, within this linkage, is constantly transformed as an image. What emerges here is not the movement of the object itself, but a relational fluctuation made visible by the phase difference between the apparatuses. While identification with the camera draws the subject as an “eye” into the interior of the image, the movement of the screen pulls it back into physical space as a body subject to gravity. The shift produced by the asynchronous movements of the camera and the screen, in this back-and-forth, gently suspends the very framework of seeing itself.

Orb / Rot

2026
A display suspended by wire ropes continues its back-and-forth rotational motion according to the principle of a torsion pendulum. The screen shows footage shot while circling a motionless stone. The rotating display and the camera that captured the footage have different periods, and their relationship repeatedly shifts between synchronization and asynchronization. Within this, two appearances emerge in the image: the motion of circling around the stone, and the motion in which the stone itself appears to be rotating. Through both, the work moves between an optical/distant mode of visual experience, which has assumed identification with another point of view, and a tactile/near mode of visual experience that comes into presence through the viewer’s bodily involvement.

Description: This video installation consists of a display that moves up and down and footage of falling rocks projected onto it. The work addresses three spatial dimensions: the “space of images” created by the video, the “real space” in which it is viewed, and the “virtual space” that connects them. In cinema, events and spaces outside the frame are called “off-screen,” and their presence is suggested through sound or the reactions of characters. However, in the contemporary age, where video experiences through computer multi-window displays have become commonplace, it is also possible to recognize the video content itself as an object off-screen. In this work, the bodily act of following the moving display with one’s eyes, together with the reciprocal experience of the video in response, evokes the singular event of “falling rocks.” Yet the visual synchronization/asynchronization produced by the mismatch between the movement of the display and the rhythm of the video continually shifts the perceived location of the object in our minds. Where, exactly, is the stone falling?

Satoko Shibata "Miscellaneous Thoughts"

2022
00:05:02
We developed the idea while exploring a method of adapting the “visual experience that traverses fiction and reality,” which the artist collective Yofu has long valued in its work, to the filmmaking process itself—from shooting to post-production. In practice, the piece was created through a one-take long shot and time-axis manipulation in post-production. During the one-take shoot, the condition for realizing the concept of this music video was that, throughout the chorus as confetti fell through the air, only Satoko Shibata would remain perfectly still. By applying detailed time-axis adjustments to specific sections in post-production, the confetti alone—falling around the motionless Shibata—could be made to move in various ways, such as reversing direction, being drawn toward the center of the screen, or becoming extremely compressed and transformed into a noise-like texture, even though Shibata herself showed no change. The contrast between stillness and motion creates a distortion of reality that forms the basis of the direction. In the middle section as well, by moving the camera while keeping Shibata’s framing fixed, even the background is warped and distorted, and the shimmering paper fragments drifting down in time with the song’s progression create a striking scene that gives the impression of an unreal world, somewhere at the edge of the galaxy. Yofu also created “Behind the scenes of Satoko Shibata ‘Understood’ Music Video” (https://youtu.be/xOK0IlVjdH8), which captures the behind-the-scenes process of the one-take shoot.

This video is composed entirely of Chinese characters from start to finish. Using the radicals and structure of the Chinese word “漢堡,” which means “hamburger,” it explains the fictional psychological phenomenon known as “漢堡飽和.” This is a phenomenon in which, after staring at “漢堡” for a long time, one suddenly no longer understands what it is. It is said to be caused by neural inhibition, which prevents the brain from focusing on anything more than a part of the hamburger, causing the whole to be lost and its meaning to suddenly feel unfamiliar. This work is one part of the animation anthology Burger Order.

Chukyo TV Corporate Movie

This is a co-directed work with Hideyuki Kojima. Based on the world of papercraft, we carefully shot the film in stop motion, moving through a series of scenes: first, Chukyo-kun and motifs from Aichi, Mie, and Gifu are cut out from paper to create a flat world; then Chukyo-kun transforms into a three-dimensional form, creating a more tactile, dimensional world; and finally, the perspective expands further as the paper world bursts into live action. The transition from the paper hand to the live-action hand was actually filmed in reverse order from what appears on screen. We first shot the stop-motion hand, then converted the hand footage into contour data and cut it out from paper, and finally replaced the paper hand and shot it again in stop motion. Lighting was also quite challenging. Because all of the paper used was the same “white,” if we didn’t use subtle changes in light to create shadows and convey depth, shadow color, and distance between objects, it would simply become an all-white world. We carefully crafted the lighting so that, no matter where you paused the video, it would form a beautiful still image. The live-action scenery is the familiar Nagoya Port. That scene was also done in stop motion, and we shot it while praying for clear weather. On the day of filming, it was a violent storm like a typhoon, and just when we thought everything was hopeless, we carried the camera up to the rooftop—and somehow, the sky cleared up all at once. It was a strange and wonderful moment.
