KAGARIBI#15 | TOP8 Opening V

This is a motion graphics piece for the rap section, produced as part of the background visuals for the TOP 8 opening live performance at KAGARIBI #15, an unofficial Super Smash Bros. tournament held at Makuhari Messe.
The rap part of the theme song "THRONED," created by the beatbox crew SARUKANI, has been visualized through motion graphics to craft a high-impact video. While it is 2D-based, I took on the challenge of incorporating 3D footage sparingly to achieve a richer visual quality.
By picking up the various lyrics—a mix of Japanese and English—and the unique sounds produced by beatboxing, I have attempted to visualize the music through a diverse range of motion graphics tailored to each specific element.
