To commemorate the release of Kenshi Yonezu’s 6th album, LOST CORNER, we were responsible for the character design and AR production/design of “LOST CORNER AR LIVE in HARAKADO,” held at Tokyu Plaza Harajuku “Harakado.” LOST CORNER AR LIVE in HARAKADO is a roughly five-minute AR experience that lets visitors witness a fictional Kenshi Yonezu live performance, dancing freely through the streets of Harajuku to songs such as the opening theme of the anime Chainsaw Man, “KICK BACK,” and the theme song for the NHK TV drama series Tiger and Her Wings, “Sayounara Mata Itsuka!” By co-creating with SoVeC, part of the Sony Group, and leveraging the advanced capabilities of Sony’s VPS technology, which boasts outstanding precision and robustness, we were able to create an immersive presentation that blends reality and digital content.

Studio Nanahoshi’s second original animation. Produced after being selected for the Agency for Cultural Affairs’ 2017 Young Animator Training Project, “Anime Tamago 2018.” There’s probably one or two in every home. Daruma, beckoning cats, papier-mâché figures, and other good-luck charms are items used to celebrate and pray for good fortune. Good-luck charms infused with people’s hopes and wishes come to life as “Engimon,” driven by those feelings. This heartwarming, slapstick comedy follows these lively Engimon as they race across the screen and cause all kinds of chaos!
