An animated segment of TV Tokyo’s program “Sina Pushu,” aimed at children aged 0 to 2. In this segment, Tai rhythmically makes his wishes come true, accompanied by the phrase, “Tai, tai, I want to ○○!” The visuals were created using hand-drawn animation, and I also handled the BGM and voices.

Omelet!

This 15-second piece was created for “JAA Omnibus: Infinite ∞ 15-Second Animation,” a segment of “Into Animation 8,” an event hosted by the Japan Animation Association (JAA), which Shota belongs to. Interpreting the theme “infinite ∞” in my own way, I handled everything myself, from coming up with the idea to creating the animation and composing the music, and completed it in less than one week in total. I worked on the rough sketches in CLIP STUDIO PAINT (iPad version) to check the motion. After that, I scanned drawings made on paper and finished the video using After Effects and Photoshop. The music was created by humming the idea into a melody and building on it with GarageBand. The vocals were also recorded from my own singing.

Hulu IDs『PONPOKKO-PONNCHI』

I participated in and created this work for the logo movie project “Hulu IDs” for the U.S. version of the streaming service Hulu. I aimed to create an animation style that was energetic and exciting above all else. The music was made together with a friend I have worked with since my student days. As for the singing, I wanted to create a Japanese song that people overseas could enjoy too, so I chose Japanese words whose pronunciation I found appealing, regardless of their meaning, and arranged them to fit the melody.

We were in charge of producing the mini-segment “Dinosaur Short Shorts” in Episode 9. Available on Prime Video, Abema TV, Hulu, and other platforms. By combining live-action shots of a character sleeping with hand-drawn 2D animation, we dynamically conveyed the sense of a “dream.”

Go for It! Yonpe-kun

2018

00:03:55

An animated work depicting the lively daily life of a boy named Yonpei-kun. This time, it is “Let’s Go on an Errand!” This work was created as a graduate school thesis project. I aimed for an expression that lies somewhere on the border between whimsy and madness. The technique used is hand-drawn animation. I drew using a variety of art materials, including ballpoint pens, colored sign pens, and colored pencils. After completing the drawings, I scanned all of them to digitize them, and then finished the piece by editing it using Photoshop and After Effects. For the music, I wrote the lyrics and added a temporary melody by humming, then a friend in charge of the music arranged it, and another friend in charge of voice acting provided the voice to complete the piece.
