I directed three TV commercials introducing the business of Mizuho Financial Group. The commercial features Natsuki Deguchi, and the music is by Kabanagu. This was my first time directing commercials, and with guidance from Masaki Ueda and the production team, I completed the project over a three-month process that included storyboarding, filming, and editing. I also created the motion design for the text myself.

Shopify, the rapidly growing e-commerce platform making waves around the world. We planned and produced its first brand campaign in Japan, for a company already used by more than one million shops. We expressed Shopify’s strengths—that you can easily launch a full-scale online store and expand its rich functionality as your business grows—through the tagline “Take your shop to the next step.” and a single-take video showing a store continuously evolving and growing. In banner and graphic ads as well, we created visuals of product displays likened to an upward-trending graph, simply expressing the shop’s transformation and growth.
