A music video created for an in-game song from Bandai Namco Entertainment’s social game The Idolmaster Gakuen. The character Hanami Saki was a top athlete in track and field before aspiring to become an idol, and she has a past in which, due to being a late bloomer, she confronted the limits of her abilities at a young age and suffered setbacks. The song’s theme portrays her “setbacks and challenges,” making for an absurd tale in which she moves back and forth between the reality of the setbacks she experienced in the past and the uncertain glory of the future. In the end, she attempts to break through her own limits. To make this pulp-fiction-like story convincing, we aimed for a meditative music video in which the past and future are suspended, combining the image of sequential photographs that draw the viewer’s consciousness back into the past with animation that propels her into the future to the sound of drum and bass. The spirit of craving victory that she cultivated in her years as an athlete, caught between ideals and reality, shakes off notions of records and victory created by others through the act of “running.” By adopting abstract smear frames and a rough, painterly style, we sought to convey, in a sensory way, her spiritual rebirth as an idol (a performer).

The words of Tahi Saihate, who has created many poems about constellations and the universe, leap off the page and light up the planetarium. Even the mythological explanations that connect one poem to another are entirely in the poet’s own words. Please enjoy this new kind of planetarium, where you can savor poems that shimmer in the night sky.

秋葉原のメイド喫茶から始まったディアステージ所属のアイドル妄想キャリブレー ションの初アニメタイアップ曲「激ヤバ∞ボッカーン !!」の MV。破壊をイメージさせる歌詞や妄キャリの心情から「超必殺技(格闘ゲームに存在する起死回生の一撃技)」という企画が立ち上がった。企画（と、細かい格ゲーネタ）をI&S BBDOの長崎豪を、映像の演出を篠田利隆（実写パートとエモさ）と大橋（CGとアニメーションと格ゲーネタ）がそれぞれ担当。 現在進行形のアキバ系アイドルとしてカルチャーを背負っているイメージ を演出するために格ゲーのイメージをいわゆるドット絵的なものではなく、現行機のような3DCGと明瞭なグラフィック、そして CGで描いた破壊のイメージで可愛いだけではない特異な存在感をアピールした。
