KATE × Yoneyama Mai × Eve "YOKU"

2022
00:03:01
Description: P.I.C.S. produced the MV for Eve’s “YOKU,” inspired by Kanebo Cosmetics’ “KATE YOKU Collection.” The direction and character design, among other elements, were handled by illustrator Mai Yoneyama, who also designed the product packaging. Animator Hideki Inaba (P.I.C.S. management) also took part in the production. The work was created with great attention to effects and color, using a structure in which everyday life—the monochrome scenes—gradually becomes colored, and then bursts into vivid color the moment desire is unleashed.

JKD planned and produced the brand movie for the snowboard wear brand “ESTIVO.” Based on the concept “DESIGN YOUR WINTER,” the story follows two snowboarders whose trail colors the snow-covered mountains in vibrant hues. In collaboration with director Hideki Inaba, who has drawn attention both in Japan and overseas, the piece was crafted as a fully animated brand music video that pursues the synchronization of music and visuals, a hallmark of JKD’s work. The original soundtrack was produced by Metome.

PwC Japan : Audio VIsual Installation

2018

At the entrance of PwC Japan’s office in Otemachi, Tokyo, a consulting firm with more than 200,000 staff across 158 countries, a permanent audio-visual installation produced by JKD in collaboration with the architecture and design firm Gensler has been installed. For this project, an animation work was created for a 5-meter-high, 5-meter-wide wall, making use of calligraphy by the calligrapher Ukyo Kamigori, which had previously been on display there. Led by creative director Norimichi Asai and created in collaboration with calligrapher Mami and animator Hideki Inaba, the installation transforms dynamic brushstrokes into rich colors, creating a space that evokes a refined Japanese aesthetic. The sound design, by Daisuke Tanabe, draws viewers into the serene yet richly decorative animation.
