2025 Asia Digital Art Award FUKUOKA Award Winner Mitaka no Mori Animation Festa 2026, 24th Indies Animation Festa Award Winner "The Seed of Stars" One day, these words casually spoken by my daughter gently planted a seed within me. Drawn in by their tenderness and a poetic afterglow, I began to imagine stars descending into a quiet forest, and the landscapes where small creatures live. The story begins with stars drifting softly down from the night sky into the forest. There, the stars become tiny seeds on the ground, eventually sprouting and blooming into “star flowers.” The creatures living in the forest quietly keep them company, making music and watching over the flowers. I wanted to portray a serene, warm world filled with light, sound, and the slow flow of air in the night forest. For the visual production, I used Blender, which I have been using for many years. I expressed the natural elements I love—forests, stars, flowers, and small living creatures—in a simple, unadorned style, and by focusing on light, shadow, and texture, I created a landscape that seems to drift between reality and imagination. Rather than aligning the music and visuals perfectly, I aimed for a relationship in which they gently resonate with one another while remaining quietly close. The music was composed by cokiyu, a musician with whom I have long collaborated, and who has also provided music for the film Confessions (directed by Tetsuya Nakashima). In this work, her transparent vocals gently layer over delicate piano melodies suited to a forest at night. The lyrics carry the theme of this story, and each word resonates softly, as if speaking directly to the listener. The presence of the voice subtly deepens the visual atmosphere, conveying the depth of the imagery, time, and the world of "The Seed of Stars" more richly. I would be delighted if "The Seed of Stars" could quietly take root in the hearts of viewers as well, allowing free imagination and feeling to gently spread from there. This work was selected as an award-winning entry at the 2025 Asia Digital Art Award FUKUOKA and the Mitaka no Mori Animation Festa 2026, 24th Indies Animation Festa.

SOUL BUBBLE is an immersive art installation that visualises an individual’s mental and physical state. Inside a space surrounded by eleven screens, visitors sit on a single-seat sofa equipped with AI and sensors. The sofa reads changes in posture and centre of gravity, heart rate, breathing, and hand movements, visualising these signals in real time. States of mind and body such as relaxation, focus, tension, anxiety, excitement, meditation, and confusion are analysed and transformed into microbial-like patterns that spread throughout the entire space. At the end of the experience, the participant’s own behavioural data is projected onto the screens, stored, and used to advance the AI system. As more participants join, individual and collective data accumulate, revealing differences, distributions, and new tendencies. This ongoing process continually evolves the installation, forming an endless archive that keeps recording human states. Interestingly, many visitors were highly interested in their own results and came expecting to find a pattern of “high relaxation.” SOUL BUBBLE gently envelops the body like a bubble, while also presenting itself as a prototype for future sensing devices, where technology stays close to the body, responds to the soul, and brings to light the hidden layers beneath mind and existence.
