A five-minute program aired on NHK E-Tele, both in the morning and at night. As its name suggests, “0655” airs from 6:55 a.m., and “2355” airs from 11:55 p.m., five days a week, Monday through Friday. Planned with the goal of “creating the rhythm of the Japanese people,” the program was developed primarily by Masahiko Sato, Professor Mitsuko Okamoto of the Tokyo University of the Arts Graduate School, and NHK. Euphrates is responsible for the overall direction of the program and the production of video for many of its segments.

This was created as the music video for “lulu,” a track from musician VOQ’s first album, YONA, released by PROGRESSIVES FOrM in April 2018. Although it is also a music video, it is a “painting of time” that repeatedly depicts similar images, and is intended as a visual expression by a painter, with the aim of observing the nonlocality of where images exist. This work is also a recreation of the installation of the drawing animation work End o wo Terasumono 2 (2011), which was created for the solo exhibition “End o wo Terasumono 1” (2010) at Take Ninagawa (Higashi-Azabu) and for the exhibition “The 3rd Yebisu International Festival for Art and Alternative Visions: Daydream Believer!!” (2011) at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum, along with an early version of VOQ’s same song “lulu.” It is planned to be further added to and released as a short film titled End o wo Terasumono.
