A conversational comedy short anime featuring the protagonist, Matsuda Meisaku, who aspires to become a masterpiece himself, along with his eccentric classmates. By blending modern themes with a variety of classic works—such as “three little pigs aiming to become YouTubers” and “a tsundere Cinderella”—it creates high-quality humor that can be enjoyed by both adults and children. The series began in 2016 on NHK E Tele’s “Bitworld” and aired through Season 6 (230 episodes). It was selected as a Jury Recommended Work at the Japan Media Arts Festival organized by the Agency for Cultural Affairs. Its YouTube channel has surpassed 300 million total views.

In this work, we explore the function by which we become aware of and experience stimuli, especially the perceptible boundaries of hearing and vision, through media technology. Embodiment based on perceptual capacity continues to be reshaped by the influence of our everyday choices, which in postmodern society are deeply dependent on media technology. Building on this, this work was created with the aim of transforming the concept of 14,000 Hz into an audiovisual piece synchronized to that frequency, for playback in a variety of media environments.

This is the promotional music video for the third original animation by Studio Nanahoshi. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, we began drawing illustrations and manga of “U-Nyan,” an innocent kitten delivery worker, on Twitter in an effort to create a work that would lift viewers’ spirits and bring them comfort. Once the concept had taken shape, we created a storyboard for a short animation. To let viewers enjoy the process of the work coming together, we released it one cut at a time, then added the theme song to the completed cuts and unveiled it as a PV. Using this PV as a basis, we are currently producing a roughly six-minute main feature through crowdfunding with supporters. We aim to create an animation that can be enjoyed by both adults and children, putting our heart into portraying U-Nyan as he learns that “it may not be a big deal, but it is an important role for that person.” ＜Synopsis＞ The kitten “U-Nyan” is overjoyed to be starting his first delivery job! However, he ends up smashing the pizza to bits and trying to sneak a taste of the donuts, and things just don’t go very smoothly... The carefree, innocent U-Nyan starts to feel anxious too. The residents of the town he is delivering to can’t help worrying whether U-Nyan will make it there safely, and before they know it, they’re lending a hand and watching over his growth. This work is a heartwarming story about “the interactions between small children and the adults who watch over them.”

Have a Nice Day!’s Haruna Yusa solo project, the music video for the lead track from Another Story Of Dystopia Romance. It is a cover by member Yusa of an already released song by Hokuto Asami of Have a Nice Day!, reimagined as taking place in an alternate timeline. A powerful cast brought to life the worldview of FAUST’s lyrics, which sing of the conflict surrounding “being social” and the liberation from social norms.

Description of the work: A web commercial for Mos Burger’s limited-time Tori Tatsuta Burger. Based on the “Standard Manzai” version, which introduces the product in a manzai comedy style, it was edited in an audio-MAD style. With “packing in screenshot-worthy moments” as the production theme, the video is filled with small gags and details throughout.

ASO CALDERA HIKE At the plaza in front of JR Kumamoto Station, we unveiled “ASO CALDERA HIKE,” a विशाल space themed around the Aso Caldera, a symbol of Kumamoto’s great natural landscape, with a maximum diameter of approximately 24 meters and a maximum height of approximately 2.4 meters. “What if Kumamoto’s great nature came to the very center of the city?” ASO CALDERA HIKE is a content experience that lets visitors immerse themselves in Aso, the symbol of Kumamoto’s natural beauty. A giant object, inspired by the outer rim mountains encircling the Aso Caldera and measuring up to approximately 24 meters in diameter, was installed at Amu Hiroba. Visitors can step inside the ring-shaped structure, wander around, or sit and relax at their leisure. At night, a show and interstitial effects are performed using a high-brightness projector of approximately 40,000 lumens installed on the upper floors of the station building. PARTY was responsible for the planning and overall direction. Period: Friday, December 3, 2021 – Monday, January 10, 2022 (national holiday) Location: Amu Hiroba (Shirakawa Exit Station Plaza, in front of Kumamoto Station) Show Direction: HIKING SEASONS The theme is the four seasons of Aso. This is an immersive art experience in which visitors walk through a giant object modeled after the Aso Caldera and enjoy the changing, majestic scenery of Aso. From January, when the land is covered in snow and ice, to controlled grass burning, fresh greenery, Miyama kirishima azaleas, grass and blue skies, and pampas grass tinged by the setting sun, leading to a December landscape sparkling with countless stars. A vast projection spread across approximately 600㎡ brings to life Aso’s magnificent scenery as it transforms with the seasons.

With the theme of “imagination” in making things, we created a stop-motion animation using papercraft and metal sculptures made with Brother products. It is the story of a pair of imaginative, mysterious brothers.

A space live entertainment project that opens up the universe to everyone. We want to open up the stage of space, where only astronauts have been able to play an active role until now, to everyone through the power of the internet and design. With that vision, we established a live broadcast studio in Kibo, the Japanese Experiment Module aboard the International Space Station, to connect space and Earth in both directions. While gazing at the blue Earth, people around the world freely express themselves and talk about KIBO. Together with artists and companies, we will co-create this entirely new borderless form of entertainment.

An XR audio-visual showcase by COSMIC LAB, which has continually explored spatial expression where the visible and invisible intersect as VJs. Using the XR (Expanded Reality) Live System, developed and advanced by COSMIC LAB, the performance was live-streamed from an expanded reality space at Universe in Misono, Osaka. COSMIC LAB amplified into an XR visual space a luminous sound performance by ∈Y∋, who continues to push experimental expression to its limits, performed with the body connected to two specialized devices: a wrist-mounted type and a cone-shaped type.
