UNIQLO and MARNI “Silk Furoshiki Scarf” Promotional Video

2022
00:00:16
As part of the Winter 2022 collection for “UNIQLO and MARNI,” we produced the promotional movie and how-to video for the vividly patterned “Silk Furoshiki Scarf.” We were responsible for both direction and production. Using stop-motion animation as the filming technique, the video depicts imaginary creatures being wrapped in the furoshiki scarf, highlighting that this item can be used not only as a scarf but also in two ways as a furoshiki. In addition, to emphasize the act of wrapping, the video is constructed not with people wrapping the scarf, but with characters, props, and a robot arm all dressed in the colors of the Silk Furoshiki Scarf, creating a distinctive world as they move on their own and become wrapped. The finished video is now available not only on UNIQLO’s official website, but also on UNIQLO Global’s official Instagram.

Gloaming -before the haze-

2022
00:01:45
A prequel to “Gloaming - haze -”. It depicts the story of the girl from haze, back when she was still wearing a mask, and follows her up until the moment she removes it. The home environment is also a closed-off one, and the work suggests that the same kinds of circumstances depicted in haze exist there as well.

THE SPELLBOUND “May Everything Be There.” MV

2022
00:03:47
THE SPELLBOUND, a rock band formed by Masayuki Nakano of BOOM BOOM SATELLITES with Yusuke Kobayashi of THE NOVEMBERS as vocalist, was responsible for producing the music video (MV) and TV spot for “Subete ga Soko ni Arimasu You ni.” The song was written specifically as the ending theme for the fourth season of the TV anime Golden Kamuy. Having previously streamed live performances with a single camera, this work adopts an idea proposed by the band members and is composed as a single-take edit shot with one handheld camera. By focusing on lighting and movement, the piece was designed to place greater emphasis on the song and the band members, expressing a sense of immediacy and forward momentum reminiscent of a live performance.

UNIQLO and MARNI “Silk Furoshiki Scarf” Promotional Movie

2022
00:00:15
For the Winter 2022 collection of “UNIQLO and MARNI,” we produced a promotional movie and how-to video for the “Silk Furoshiki Scarf,” featuring eye-catching vivid patterns. We were responsible for both direction and production. Using stop-motion animation as the filming technique, the piece depicts imaginary creatures being wrapped in the furoshiki scarf, highlighting the product’s two-way functionality as both a scarf and a furoshiki. In addition, to emphasize the wrapping process, the film was constructed not with people doing the wrapping, but entirely with characters, props, and robotic arms dressed in the colors of the Silk Furoshiki Scarf. By having these elements move on their own and become wrapped, the film creates a unique visual world. The finished video is now available not only on UNIQLO’s official website, but also on UNIQLO’s global official Instagram account.

「ke shi ki」5th anniversary movie

2021
00:02:01
As part of a tie-up project with Swedish lighting company Profoto, we shot and produced branding visuals and a making-of film to celebrate the 5th anniversary of our leather bag brand, “ke shi ki.” Using the paintings of Denmark’s leading artist Vilhelm Hammershøi as our source of inspiration, we expressed the brand’s cherished idea of “a quiet presence that blends into the landscape” through the world of Hammershøi’s indoor still-life paintings. In addition, through a story of interaction between a girl and a woman, we conveyed the message that we want this to be a brand that is passed down across generations. The story behind each shot has been released on the official Instagram account of “ke shi ki.” On Profoto’s official website, this shoot report has also been published in two parts under the title “bird and insect’s visual branding on the still and motion set.” more (bird and insect WORKS) https://bird-and-insect.com/works/2509/

I directed and produced a brand movie for Goodpatch Inc., which achieved its first listing as a design company. The structure gradually narrows its focus from a broad perspective to the main theme. I directed and produced a corporate branding video for Goodpatch Inc., the first publicly traded design company in Japan. It begins with high-level concepts and gradually focuses on more specific ideas.
