Promotional video for Toyokoh Co., Ltd.

Music video for artist Mafumafu’s “Shiori.” Theme song for the film The Blue Sky You Dropped. A work that expresses a story where the past and present intersect through richly colorful visuals.

From Tobeta Bajun’s 5th album, “A Wonderful New World ~RELAX WORLD~,” this is the music video for the title track, “A Wonderful New World.” Although it is hand-drawn animation, the work emphasizes graphic visual expression, depicting the subtle emotions of the characters and a grand, sweeping story.

Music video for Bonjour Suzuki’s “Tululu feat. TAKU INOUE.” The girl character who appears is modeled after the artist herself.

Description: Featuring the official character “Palmy-chan” throughout, this was produced as a drawing tutorial, with the aim of creating a finish that blends analog and digital elements.

PR animation created to raise awareness of the Orange Ribbon Campaign. The color palette is kept to a minimum so that “orange,” used in the logo, stands out as the main color, and the piece is finished with a soft, analog-style touch. It also unfolds in a single continuous shot, taking advantage of what animation uniquely offers.

This work was released as a collaborative music video between YOASOBI and a Naoki Prize-winning author, and is an adaptation of “Yūrei” from Hajimete no (published by Suirinsha), a novel by author Mizuki Tsujimura. Built around YOASOBI’s brisk horn sound and lyrics based on a sentimental novel, this film is an audiovisual work that greatly expands upon the song. It was produced as a fully remote, fully digital animation project, led by director Asuka Toka, producer and assistant director Shiko. The concept of the film is to express the beautiful night seen by a teenage girl. The aim was to draw viewers into the world of the story by delivering a film that consistently maintains a high level of artistry, drama, and entertainment value. To capture the delicate imagery of the lyrics, and under director Asuka Toka’s vision of bringing the whole piece closer to the delicate texture of an illustration, the characters are drawn with many special line treatments not typically used in standard animation. This became a section that strongly reflects the production theme of maximizing the creative work of Asuka Toka, an animation creator and illustrator. This work also embodies Kiko, the animation studio’s statement of pursuing the freedom inherent in animation expression and delivering a piece that will remain in the heart.
