BUTTERFLY : FOCUS WITHIN.

2025
00:01:17
We planned and produced a brand film for BUTTERFLY, a brand owned by Tamasu, one of the world’s leading table tennis equipment manufacturers based in Suginami, Tokyo. This time, we featured Fan Zhendong, the Chinese player who has won the World Table Tennis Championships twice, earned a gold medal at last year’s Paris Olympics, and become a Grand Slam champion. The key message is Focus Within. (The one you need to face is yourself.) To develop the skill that allows him to surpass other players in every aspect—spin, speed, timing, control, and tactics—and earn admiration from table tennis fans around the world, we portray the dialogue he has had with himself over many years and the meticulous way he has honed his technique, together with his own voice-over, sharp visual expression, and sound design. The film has received an outstanding response across the board, including more than 1 million views overnight after its release on Butterfly’s official global Instagram account. Please take a look.

Airbnb China: Spring Break | Bangkok

2018
00:01:30
The campaign “Spring Break,” produced by JKD Collective for Airbnb China, is a series that travels through four cities popular among Chinese millennials as spring break destinations: Okinawa, Taipei, Bangkok, and Seoul. A total of four videos were produced in a documentary style. The campaign concept is “Been There, Not Done Yet.” Even in famous tourist destinations you’ve already visited, there is always deep local culture known only to the people who live there. Exploring some of Asia’s most notable travel spots from a local’s perspective, the campaign proposed a unique and lesser-known way to travel. Bangkok, the chaotic city. Its appeal is something that cannot be fully understood after just one visit, drawing travelers back again and again. The Bangkok edition of the video series produced by JKD Collective for Airbnb China is a journey to discover Thailand’s contemporary design and craft, and the sophistication hidden within the chaos, in a city that is now on the verge of a dynamic evolution.

The campaign concept was “Been There, Not Done Yet.” Even in famous tourist destinations you have already visited, there is always deep local culture known only to the people who live there. From the perspective of locals, the campaign explored some of Asia’s most talked-about attractions and proposed a unique, lesser-known way to experience travel. In the heart of Seoul, about 20 million people work long hours, and Korea has undergone tremendous growth over the past 50 years. Even in this bustling metropolis, there are many hidden spots where locals can step away from their hectic daily lives and take a breath. The Seoul edition of the campaign, produced by JKD Collective for Airbnb China, explored an area lined with beautiful buildings that tell the story of history and where a calm atmosphere flows.

Airbnb: Kanazawa | Not Yet Trending

2017
00:01:43
A new Airbnb series, “Not Yet Trending,” showcases the world’s most captivating cities gaining attention as travel destinations through edgy visual expression. For the first Japan installment, we produced a film featuring Kanazawa at JKD. This time, we took on a new challenge: a hybrid form that combines a music video and a documentary. By skillfully blending a powerful track based on the Japanese musical scale with the stories of four hosts, we present the refined charm of Kanazawa in a new way.
