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. Paper drawing (brush pen, Copic markers, watercolor) After Effects (Adobe) Photoshop (Adobe) CLIP STUDIO PAINT (used on iPad for sketching)

This song and animation depict the strange clock made by Dr. Henteko, the “flying clock,” soaring off into the city.

Where is Mr. Regent headed?

This is the opening animation for the “15th Indies Anime Festa 2017,” held in Mitaka City on March 5, 2017.

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.
