Since the song had a poppy, lively feel, I built the motion to match that upbeat image as well. While keeping the animation of the illustrations placed at the center of each cut as the main focus, I made sure the motion of the 2D design did not look too flat when arranged alongside the animation.

Based on a 3DCG sugoroku board game scene, this MV follows the Holomem’s summer青春 and their journey toward the live performance. Character design by Hiroyuki Ooyama (Umber). The CG scenes were handled by kumo.productions, the design by .MP, and the motion graphics by Kana Tatematsu. The animated scenes were produced mainly by Liberty Animation, with the participation of various animation studios. © COVER

I was responsible for the cinematography of five cuts in the opening animation of the TV anime Kill Blue.

I helped with the filming on some of the cuts. We were able to make the ramen look delicious, with a strong focus on making it look appetizing.

The opening animation for Black Butler: Emerald Witch Arc. It was created by blending hand-drawn animation with a 3DCG world assembled in a papercraft-like style, with a slightly thick, plastic-like texture.

“Mr.” is the first music video in a collaborative project between YOASOBI and four Naoki Prize-winning authors. The song is based on the novel My Own Owner by Rio Shimamoto, and the music video was planned and directed with the idea of what it might look like if the world of the novel were animated. The story sequences were created through hand-drawn animation, while the music video feel was achieved by combining several forms of motion graphics. Character designs by pomodorosa.
