Fujii Kaze - "Enough Already" Official Video

2020
00:05:02
I worked on this piece through repeated discussions with Fujii Kaze. The concept of the work is vagrancy and true freedom. Until a few years ago, I had personal interactions with people experiencing homelessness, and I recalled what I had felt at that time when planning this project. The public image of “homeless = poor, unhappy” is, for some people, a misconception. The homeless people I met had chosen a free way of living unconstrained by society, and their hearts were very wealthy. And we, living in the present day, realized that we are bound by so many things and rules that we are not truly free. These are things I recalled and thought about only as part of constructing the work, and what I wanted to convey in this piece was: That beautiful things are not the only things that are beautiful, and that any existence can be made cool depending on the expression of the artist.

[Official] Pokémon Card Battle in 9 Minutes – “Scarlet & Violet” Series

2022

This piece features “Kei,” who calls himself a Poké Card doctor, carefully explaining the series of rules for the Pokémon Card Game to a boy named “Ren,” who has just obtained Pokémon cards, and is structured so that the new rules are explained to viewers as well. While following the structure and animation style of the previous explanation series, we were mindful of pacing and subtle character animation, deliberately avoiding excessive expression, effects, and animation so that viewers could stay engaged until the end while understanding the rules. Also, on a more detailed directorial note, this time voice actors Chisaki Kimura and Sako Ogawa added nuanced emotions at key moments, and I feel this resulted in an explanatory video that also lets viewers appreciate the delicate vocal performances they bring to the work.

YOASOBI "Comet" Official Music Video

A music video set in the world of the manga BEASTARS. The first 89 seconds also serve as the ending sequence for the second season of the TV anime BEASTARS. The blue-world portion in the first half was colored frame by frame entirely with watercolor paints. By combining this blue segment with the red-world segment that begins in the second half, which is expressed digitally, the video presents two extremes within a single music video, contrasting the tenderness and happiness that have filled the past in the story behind this song with the cruel reality that is to come. For the production of this video, three-dimensional models of each character were created. Using these as references for the drawings made it possible to depict the BEASTARS characters, whose complex shapes are difficult to express through animation, with hand-drawn animation.

NHK E-tele’s “Mittsuketa!” “Mouretsu ni Hassan!” music video. This song’s theme is to sing, dance, and “Hassan” away the stress you carry every day. From the nostalgic feel of the melody, we aimed for a high-energy video with a cheap, funny vibe reminiscent of the early days of CG in the Showa and Heisei eras. I was responsible for the direction, CG production, and editing, including compositing. Editing software used: Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects

Description: This work depicts a fantastical landscape that evokes a scene from a science fiction film. A massive artificial structure suddenly appears amid majestic nature. Through its uncanny presence, the work expresses the relationship between artificial and natural elements, as well as the fragility of landscapes as they change over time. In creating this piece, I aimed to complete a single scene in a short period of time, working under the constraint of finishing everything from concept to rendering in approximately two hours. [About the techniques] ・Natural elements (rocks, etc.): Realistic textures were pursued using Megascans scan data ・Artificial elements (ring-shaped structure, etc.): Modeled in Blender ・Textures: Surface details created with Substance Painter ・Scene construction: Unreal Engine 5 was used to adjust placement, lighting, and atmospheric effects (sky, clouds, fog) Software Used ・Unreal Engine 5 ・Blender ・Substance Painter PC ・Windows 11 ・Intel Core i7 12th Gen ・RTX 4070 Ti Super ・64 GB RAM

This work is an animated piece created using rotoscoping techniques based on a song by Ai Otsuka. It aims to visually express the song’s rich emotion and vitality, seeking to fuse real movement with art. It was also born out of a collaboration tied to Ai Otsuka’s solo art exhibition, incorporating as motifs the animals depicted in the paintings to be displayed there. Through a dialogue that transcends the realms of music and fine art, it explores new possibilities for visual expression. A world drawn by melody, a story played by color. We hope you will feel the poetic space created by the synchronicity of music and imagery.

Description: A single light flickers, and a melody echoes as if splitting the silence. This is a visual world built from SARM’s own mystical experiences since childhood. Using contemporary visual techniques, it brings to life fantastical visions hidden deep within memory. Direction using VFX and AI traces the boundary between dream and reality, drawing the viewer into another dimension. Light and shadow, silhouettes glimpsed between blinks, and a voice that reverberates throughout. All of it resonates with the energy of the song, creating a cosmic expanse. The interplay of monochrome and vivid color sears itself into our minds, as if fragments of memory were being illuminated by light. This work presents SARM’s inner experiences, sublimated through the fusion of music and image, as a visible spiritual world. Please keep in your heart the story of memories told by light, and the path it leaves behind.

CITIZEN’s design philosophy film, created to commemorate the company’s 100th anniversary. In a time when attitudes toward “what a watch should be” and “how we engage with time” are undergoing significant change, we conducted interviews with 25 members of CITIZEN’s Design Department about their thoughts on “making watches,” and produced this film based on those recordings. The audio data will be preserved as an in-house archive at CITIZEN Watch for the next 100 years. This film was created to convey to as many people as possible the meaning of making watches, which is the core of the company’s business, as well as the passion behind watchmaking for CITIZEN’s future.

Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo Recruitment Movie

With the renewal of the recruitment website for Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, a long-established hotel with over 70 years of history, we produced three types of videos: background footage for the recruitment site, a recruitment concept movie, and a 15-minute vision movie. Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo has been building its history alongside its lush gardens. By connecting scenes of employees at work and interviews from various departments—such as front desk clerks, guest room service, sales planning, and culinary staff—who embody the spirit of hospitality every day, we aimed to create a vision movie that thoughtfully conveys to applicants the values Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo holds dear, as well as the appeal of working there. For the video that plays in the background of the recruitment website, we focused on conveying the hotel’s one-of-a-kind scenery and the refined atmosphere that flows throughout the property, featuring the nature of the gardens, historic sites, and the distinctive design details found throughout Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo.

Description: We captured on film the production process and Mr. Sugimoto’s thoughts leading up to the creation of the Enoura Observatory, an artistic garden designed by contemporary artist Hiroshi Sugimoto and said to be the ultimate Sugimoto work. Rather than filming only the building itself, we wanted to create visuals that would also convey Mr. Sugimoto’s philosophy, so at the beginning we intercut imagery with Mr. Sugimoto’s striking words, creating a structure that broadens the viewer’s imagination, as if peeking slightly into Mr. Sugimoto’s own mind.

Gacha Life

2025
00:00:33
“Gacha Life” Available on the short drama app [FANY:D]. [Synopsis] Sachiko Yamanoura (27), who works in the HR department of an IT company, has spent her days with a string of the world’s worst luck—stepping on gum, catching her boyfriend cheating, and more—until she finally died in a ninth freak accident, without a second thought. But in the afterlife, “Gacha Life,” a salvation awaits: she can spin a gacha and choose her next-life partner. As one after another of the men appear—dependable superiors, dangerous entrepreneurs, vanished fiancés, and other anything-but-straightforward types—Sachiko faces her own “luck” and searches for what true happiness really is. A fresh kind of fantastical romantic comedy, woven together from a fantastical setting and comedic developments. Before long, Sachiko finds herself forced to “interview” a colorful cast of men, including an ex she wants to break up with, an influencer, and a missing fiancé. Are the choices really nothing but duds, or is there a winner in the mix? Who, in the end, will she choose as her “partner in the next life”—? [Project Concept] “Gacha Life” is a work that explores the fundamental question, “Is life determined by luck?” by intertwining black comedy with serious human drama. At the heart of the story is the journey of the protagonist, Sachiko Yamanoura, as she reexamines the choices in her life through a system of chance called “gacha.” At the foundation of the story lies the theme, “Can fate really be changed?” Sachiko has long believed that she is “unlucky,” but is her misfortune truly due to luck? Or have her own choices and actions been drawing those outcomes to her? This work poses such questions to the audience. [Direction Policy] For this work, I wanted to depict fantasy and real emotions in exquisite balance. By contrasting the realism of the world we know with the abstract afterlife world of “Gacha Life,” the story gains greater depth. Gacha Life (the afterlife) is designed as a simple, symbolic space, with visuals that allow the audience to intuitively understand, “What’s going to happen here?” By incorporating lighting and game-like UI (user interface) elements, we emphasize the feeling of “being made to choose one’s fate.” Depictions of the real world use handheld camerawork and natural lighting to create a realistic, intimate atmosphere. This emphasizes the tangible feel of Sachiko’s life and makes it easier for the audience to empathize with her choices. Balance of humor Not too serious, but not too light either. Since the very premise of “gacha” is humorous, the characters’ reactions are portrayed realistically. Rather than making the audience feel, “This is something that happens only in fiction,” we want them to think, “Maybe something like this could actually happen?”

I wanted to create a music video for a song by Hinata Shishido, whose work I’ve long been fond of. The concept took shape during a year when I often found myself thinking about life and death. While reflecting on and learning a little about religion, it struck me that the diaristic lyrics and the music’s oriental feel would suit a religious atmosphere. From the prop styling of the photo that became the main visual, I expanded on the idea and created it using illustration, animation, photography, and live-action footage.

Kanamestone "1113" LIVE OP Video

In a certain house, two men live. Men in their late 30s, originally from Kashima City, Ibaraki Prefecture. They were middle school classmates, and for over 10 years since their training-school days, they have lived together in this rundown house. No such thing as privacy. Every day and every night, the two of them eat together in the second-floor living room. On the days they got laughs, and on the days they didn’t. On sunny days, and on rainy days. Even if the whole world turns against them. Even if the world were to come to an end. Despite it all, they continue living on, laughing every day, giving thanks for so many things, and looking forward to the day they finally make it. Their name is “Kanamestone.”

A video that combines live action with Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF), an AI technology that reconstructs 3D scenes from multiple image datasets. This is the first advertisement in Japan to use NeRF. As a car commercial, it is believed to be the first in the world. In fact, the footage alternates between live-action material and NeRF material, and we focused on making those transitions as seamless and satisfying as possible. We crafted the video so that, together with the car, it feels like racing through a dazzling succession of moments. Reference https://cgworld.jp/article/nerfarata-fukoe.html

I imagined this work from the concept of the girls in “Ne mo Ha mo Rumor” winning the Japanese dance championship and then appearing at the world championship as Japan’s representatives next. When I was told about this MV project, I wanted to incorporate something new, so aside from the giant monolithic structure that appears in the video, everything was newly developed for this MV. That includes 20 battery-powered wireless moving lights, 40 LED poles, and the WAVING LED RIBBON that appears in the bridge section. The stage set itself does not move, and I wanted to break away from the idea of “things that are behind the performers.” So I decided to try a theme where the artists and the space become one. In this MV, ribbon performers come right up close to the members’ faces, and by making the moving lights wireless, they can be placed even on the dance floor, allowing beams of light fused with the members to dance together. The LED poles also continuously change shape, dancing alongside the members by mimicking the hand motions of their right and left arms. While keeping the artists at the center, this MV keeps expanding the space around them. I have mainly worked on live performance direction up until now, and AKB48 also value the kind of live, in-the-moment experience you get in theater performances, so this MV was produced with the image of watching one show all the way through. I think there is a certain comfort in watching a performance continuously, and there are always new discoveries no matter how many times you watch it, so I hope people will watch it again and again. I don’t think I’ll be able to pour this much passion into something for a while（笑）。
