NHK Sing and Learn: "When You're in a Bear-y Bad Spot"

2026

Created the animation for “Kuma Toki wa,” broadcast on ETV’s Utatte Manabo. I was in charge of character design, direction, and backgrounds. The content teaches three kinds of measures: measures to take if you encounter a bear, measures to avoid coming across one, and measures to prevent bears from entering town. The aim was to convey these measures in a fun, approachable way, so that children can actually reenact them from the video and learn how people and bears can coexist in their respective environments.

YOASOBI "Comet" Official Music Video

2020, 2021
00:03:40
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

NHK E-tele’s “The Wakey Show” music video for the September 2025 learning song, “The Song of Impressionism.” This song is about a character named “Marigold,” who is well-versed in art, and is themed around “a song that teaches you about the art movement Impressionism.” In the video, the “Motte Pets” dolls, which appear in various roles throughout the program, are dressed up as Impressionist painters, and the piece is edited so that Marigold and the painters seem to be singing together. I was responsible for the direction, character design for the painter costumes, magical CG, and editing, including compositing. Editing environment: Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve

For the NHK Special series “2030: A Turning Point for the Future,” we were responsible for planning and producing the program logo design and opening title sequence. The program reports on the environmental issues facing the world. It examines 2030, said to be a “turning point” for global challenges. Over the next decade, it considers how we can avoid crisis and achieve a sustainable future. In the logo and opening title, we used animation to portray the importance of confronting the real issues humanity faces and making our own choice at this turning point in the future. https://www6.nhk.or.jp/nhkpr/post/original.html?i=26703

Video Installation
 Display, Web camera, PC, Video, Sound
Duration: variable
 Sound: AI-generated On March 27, 2025, the landscape between Tachikawa and Tama Center was recorded with a high-resolution high-speed camera through the window of the Tama Monorail in western Tokyo. Taking this single recording as its source material, this work rewrites the temporal and spatial structure of the image through digital coordinate transformation, thereby transforming the very temporal and spatial experience of 'passing' itself. Rendered through continuously varying timings and parameters, streams of transformed footage play on seamlessly, their paths shifting in response to the viewer's act of 'watching' or 'not watching' the screen. Responding to this non-linear generation, the sound is produced in real time through an AI model. Carrying its contradictions within, the landscape flows endlessly on — from right to left, without cease. In time, this flow quietly works upon the viewer's perception, and the relations between distance, speed, and time gradually come undone.

00:05:23
Silent, Seamless Loop (21 min) A video installation that records waves washing up on and receding from the shore, then applies digital manipulation to transform the temporal and spatial position of every pixel. As a result, the passage of time gradually shifts from one part of the frame to another. This multiplication of time breaks down and estranges the movement of the incoming waves, while at the same time acting on the viewer’s sense of time and perception of space. The work itself has a seamless loop structure with neither beginning nor end, drawing the viewer into a distinctive spacetime.

Mid Tide #3

3-channel video, silent 48:49 seamless loop Presented in Furusawa’s solo exhibition held in January 2024 as a new work in the MidTide series, which he has been developing since 2023. This work is a video installation created on the coast of Minamiboso, Chiba Prefecture, where waves and rocks were captured in the frame and approximately three and a half hours of changes in light and tide were recorded. Using that footage as source material, the artist then carried out data manipulations that reconfigure the temporal dimension of the video. If the footage is arranged as a sequence of still images, it can be represented as a three-dimensional space in which time becomes the depth axis. Video playback is the process of moving one cross-section of this solid form continuously from front to back, but in this work that linear trajectory is intentionally deviated from and allowed to rotate freely. The time treated here is different from the time we ordinarily experience. Unlike normal experience, only the waves, as the subject, retain their form and motion, indicating the passage of time. Just as changes in the tide quietly transform the landscape before one realizes it, this work subtly erodes the viewer’s perception of time and space. This work digitally reinterprets traditional temporal expression in the video medium and explores new possibilities for the visual experience of moving images.

This is a multi-channel video installation work created by filming a seascape of waves for an extended period with a fixed camera, and by applying temporal manipulation to environmental sound data. States in which the progression, stagnation, reversal, compression, and expansion of time and space gradually shift and invert are repeated. The video and audio are processed in the same way, and by matching them to the positions of four speakers arranged in line with the three displays, when you move closer to the screen, the environmental sound corresponding to that part and timing can be heard. In this way, the sound and image of each breaking wave that repeatedly appears are tied to the flow of time at the moment of filming. The work also has a seamless loop structure. There is no major change in the overall time axis in relation to the repeating waves. The sun does not set, and the tide does not rise or fall. Eternally repeating, suspended time and space gradually draw in the viewer’s perception as well.

Late Night in the Fridge

2026
00:04:43
An original animation set inside a refrigerator late at night. From planning, script, character design, and animation to BGM production, every stage was completed independently. The vulnerabilities that ingredients have as fresh produce—such as “tending to turn black” or “being weak to drying out”—are redefined not merely as traits, but as their “worries” and “personality.” By turning the question of “how to overcome one’s own flaws, or storage-related concerns” into a heartfelt yet comedic drama, the work aims to create a piece that balances practicality and artistry, allowing viewers to learn while enjoying it. The entire video is a stylized full 3DCG work produced in Blender. The BGM, created to synchronize with the timing of the dialogue exchanges and the punchlines, as well as the opening and ending jingles, were also independently produced in Ableton Live.

Kazuki Abe Solo Exhibition: “Hand-Drawn Computation” Venue: Art Space Kimura ASK? 2F Dates: March 3–15, 2025 Under the theme of Hand-Drawn Computation, I developed a system that generates visuals from sound information. The system analyzes the characteristics of sound in real time and uses them as the basis for drawing images. The work actively incorporates elements associated with hand-drawn expression, such as free-flowing curves and subtle transformations of form. By reinterpreting the delicacy of hand-drawing as a sequential drawing algorithm, this project explores computational methods of image-making.

A circus-style music video themed around the desire for approval. It portrays, in a show-like format, the characters’ comical yet slightly unsettling descent as they keep chasing likes. The more they become fixated on “being seen,” the more chaotic the stage grows. While foregrounding the fun of entertainment, it presents a satirical and ironic take on the modern need for validation. Each character personifies a different form of approval-seeking, such as “domination of others” and “courtship.” Their character designs are filled with circus-inspired motifs.

This work is a music video themed around the conflict of the gap between public image and reality. Based on the common situation illustrators face—“comedic or gimmicky drawings get more attention, but I want people to see my serious work”—it visualizes both the momentum and the chaos with a social media-like tempo and an information-overloaded screen composition. This work portrays, with unfiltered intensity, the moment when the exhilaration of going viral clashes with the honest feelings behind creation.

Based on the atmosphere of classic galge/eroge, this is a wildly over-the-top 8-bit music video made with fun and momentum as the top priority. While borrowing the signature visual direction and symbolic designs of dating sims, the structure is built to keep firing off gags at a brisk pace. Rather than worrying too much about the limitations of pixel art, it fully commits to overwhelming the viewer through dense visuals and editing rhythm. In this work, the “paradise” feeling that comes with the harem setup is also treated as an important element. I poured a flood of convenient dreams and excessive happiness into the visuals. By handling the direction, pixel art creation, and editing all myself, I aimed to create a music video that puts its upbeat energy front and center.

Close to Me

An animation created as the music video for “Close to Me” by in the blue shirt. Drawing on the song’s origins as a work made entirely through sampling and cut-up techniques, the piece interprets rotoscoping as an animation method with the same structural logic. Rotoscoping is a technique that traces live-action footage, allowing the movement of the subject to be directly and vividly reflected on screen. In addition, this work combines stencil-based spray techniques. By incorporating the non-deterministic fluctuations of particles, it seeks to transform the vividness of rotoscoping into the subject’s own indexicality, and to reconfigure it.

An independently produced work themed around existence in illustration. When I saw a convenience store clerk simply standing there in between tasks, I felt an indescribable sense of appeal. By depicting the clerk from eight directions, a fleeting, wavering presence emerges—just a person simply being there. By connecting the eight directional illustrations, a video is created in which the surroundings rotate around the clerk as the axis. Through the moving image, the clerk on the screen comes to appear as if they have three-dimensional coordinates.

Description: While working and living my life, I came to realize the importance of sorting out my emotions, and I expressed those feelings through this video. I often found myself troubled by thoughts such as, “I want to do something, but I don’t know where to start,” or “I don’t even know what I don’t know.” By confronting myself and organizing my emotions, I experienced a sense of release, as if my body had suddenly become lighter. I created this work with the message, “Clear your mind and enjoy life.”

Mrs. GREEN APPLE "Darling" Official Lyric Video

2025
00:04:51
Official Lyric Video for Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s “Darling.” This work takes on the challenge of expressing the song’s world and emotions not through people or specific characters, but through light—such as the movement of shadows, lanterns, and candle flames. The video unfolds with a simple structure, moving from a viewpoint just above the ground and passing through countless lanterns and candles. Each light, however, carries meaning. The many different kinds of lanterns and candles represent the differences in people’s lives, while the scene in which the flames are extinguished by heavy rain symbolizes hardship and loss. Toward the end, an overwhelming number of fireworks are launched, expressing the brilliance and wonder of life. On the technical side, to keep the camera centered on the ground while still bringing the fireworks in the sky into the frame, careful attention was paid to every detail, such as wetting the ground to reflect the sky.

A music video for the 2nd single, “Noise, Violence, Music, Ecstasy,” from Toho’s character band project, Mofu Mofu Music Caravan. A charming, pop-infused work centered around stylized 3DCG characters. Throughout the video, energetic effects inspired by manga speed lines are incorporated to create a dynamic visual expression. In keeping with the theme of the piece, the video also makes extensive use of striking direction based on Japanese motifs, such as moving folding screens, shadow puppetry seen through shoji screens, and sumi-e ink paintings. Furthermore, the overall 3DCG compositing reflects a strong awareness of Japanese aesthetics, with colors and textures inspired by nihonga and ukiyo-e.

An MV that depicts a world reminiscent of 90s-style retro anime and sci-fi, rendered in psychedelic colors. By combining realistic 3DCG with flat effects and unifying the whole piece with a faded, old-tape-like composite, it creates a distinctive nostalgic texture. Strong gloss, glitter, and excessive bloom effects were inspired by the atmosphere of the electronic music videos of the past. In the background, a cyberpunk city spreads out like the large-scale sci-fi anime series of the old days, and symbolic motifs are scattered throughout the details, including a megalopolis fused with flesh-like forms inspired by the theme of bergamot. In addition, the lyric expressions that appear in a handwritten style are also one of the features that leave a strong impression of this work.

2025
00:03:32
MV for Tomonari Sora’s “Yellow Signal,” the new opening theme for the rebroadcast version of the TV anime *Assassination Classroom*. This work is composed as a retro video game-inspired world, with motifs drawn from the story and characters of *Assassination Classroom*. By using pixel-art textures and low-poly 3D models, and then applying a VHS-style composite in the final finishing stage, the visuals were given a nostalgic texture. In addition, the cut-ins and movie-like scenes that were “typical” of slightly older games were researched and recreated. In the flight scenes, to emphasize the sense of speed at Mach-like movement, we also incorporated the delay effect of chunk loading that occurs during high-speed travel in games such as *Minecraft*. In addition to the youthful feeling of the anime itself, taking into account the context of a rebroadcast of a series from about 10 years ago, we aimed for a feeling like a “reunion that brings back memories of those days” by weaving in retro elements.
