Hoshimiya Toto + SOZEN OTSUBO - Hi-fi (Official Music Video)

2024

Created the music video for “Hi-fi,” included on the collaborative EP “Beyond the Binary - EP” by Hoshimiya Toto, who is active on the front lines of internet pop, and SOZEN OSTUBO. Actively employing digital assets such as typography, 3DCG, and PLATEAU, it pursues bold and rich visual expression. In response to the song’s delicate details and dense sound, the colors shift vividly, and the objects reveal a variety of scenes and expressions. From pop, airy chaos, it conveys the space between the virtual and the real.

Cancer Panther #GetCheckedForCancer

2021 ~

Cancer Panther #Let’s go for cancer screening This anime is called “Cancer Panther,” drawn by me after I was diagnosed with cancer. I hope it can serve as a reference for people who have never had cancer, and for those who may develop it in the future. I turned into an anime the experience of completely trusting my doctor and going through treatment. I would be happy if it helps people learn about cancer, the number one cause of death, and understand the importance of cancer screenings.

NHK Minna no Uta Aimer "Yasashii Butokai"

2025
Only Image
The visual direction is by Natsuki Kida, a filmmaker known for dark fantasy. She depicts a mysterious night through a nostalgic video created with meticulous attention to artistic elements such as characters and background art. In bringing to life the enchanting and beautiful world woven by the song and Aimer’s vocals, I wanted to set the story in a “black forest” illuminated only by moonlight and the shimmer of stars, and portray the events of a mysterious night. A girl who descends from a castle in the sky to the forest below falls asleep. The figure of the girl dancing on in the forest also seems like another version of herself. Is this reality, or a dream the girl is seeing...? Only a polka-dotted beast wandering through the forest watched over the events of that one night. I researched every kind of dance form, including ballet and contemporary dance, and paid particular attention to the girl’s movements in order to create a mysterious presence. I hope that after watching the video, viewers will be left with a strange feeling, as if they have traveled beyond time and space. (Director: Natsuki Kida)

Sleeping Room Picture Book

“NEMURUMA EHON” is an original picture book read-aloud program that began streaming on U-NEXT in October 2024. Featuring a carefully selected lineup of Japanese picture books that we want people to read now, chosen together with Nemu Yumemi, the program invites a variety of readers to bring them to life. To convey the appeal of picture books themselves, the actual books are filmed on camera. By making full use of editing techniques such as preserving the sound of pages being turned and action cuts, we aim to transform a single reading experience into video. At the end of the program, “Nemuruma Anime” by Yosuke Omomo continues to play, gently encouraging a calm state of mind and sleep. By exploring what is uniquely possible with streaming video—such as not showing “the next recommended video” and not fixing a set runtime—we aim to create a program that can be a small help in childcare, one that parents can feel comfortable handing to their children on a tablet or smartphone.

“Hirake Hako” is a new packaging design, along with a group of technologies that form its elements, developed with Keiaki Nakaji and presented at TAKEO PAPER SHOW 2023, “PACKAGING—Function and Laughter.” By treating the wave-like structure of Takeo’s fine-paper corrugated board “Fine Flute” as if it were the teeth of a gear, we developed mechanical element technologies that create a variety of “movements” using paper. Building on this technology, we proposed a package that contains the mechanism within the box itself, offering a new way to open it and a distinctive unboxing experience.

This is an original segment for the new craft program “Ugokosaku,” which is being developed jointly by the video streaming service U-NEXT and designer Masaya Ishikawa. By working together with animations displayed on a tablet or smartphone and placing the craft on the screen, you can create a moving craft—that is, “ugokosaku.” “Ugokosaku” also uses technology and optical illusions to deliver the joy of making things by hand through new crafting and visual experiences unique to streaming.

Anicamera #02 A Walking Cat (from “Ugo Kousaku”)

2024
This is an original segment for the new craft program “Ugo Kousaku,” which is being developed together by the video streaming service U-NEXT and designer Masaya Ishikawa. By accessing the web app on a smartphone, animations appear over the camera feed. With a single action triggered by tapping the screen, this simple animation asks viewers, “Where in the world would it be interesting to place it?” Through the way the animation’s size and appearance change depending on where it is placed — that is, through the illusion of size — this piece also invites us to reflect on how our eyes work. “Ugo Kousaku” will also convey the joy of thinking and of making things by hand through new craft and video experiences made possible only through streaming, using technology and optical illusions.

This is a small bakery in town. One night, the owner, Riku, kneads the dough as usual, lets it rest, and then finishes work and leaves. Clatter, clatter... Suddenly, an unsettling sound echoes through the shop. A thief has slipped inside and is picking the register lock. The cream bun dough, left to rest in the refrigerator, is startled awake by the sound and bursts into tears, crying, “Waaah!” And that cry is heard by the thief... a close call!? Will the “baby buns” be able to get through this crisis...?

Pre: A

2024
00:00:10
I am currently producing a work tentatively titled “A,” and this piece was created as a prelude and foreshadowing for it. Within a short runtime of about 10 seconds, it is filled to the brim with elegant motions evoked by the music. Unlike my usual self-initiated works, this piece and the next one (“A”) aim primarily to express, as purely and directly as possible, the simple emotions that the music calls to mind, setting aside detailed intentions and lines of thought. As a result, while introducing vivid colors with bright yellow-green as the main tone—something I had tended to avoid until now—the rest is largely kept in monochrome, emphasizing that one color even more strongly. Although it is a modern motion graphic grounded in a flat, pop-oriented style, I made heavy use of post-processing such as color shifts and noise, pursuing rich textural expression and aiming for a gap that leaves even this fleeting runtime feeling somehow warm. Around the 3-second mark, I attempted an illusion-like expression in which an X (the bowling strike symbol) encountered after passing through a tunnel transitions into a three-dimensional rotation. Incidentally, in my self-initiated work “Glancent,” released last February, I also created a similar connection in the latter half, where 2D graphics seamlessly transitioned into a three-dimensional structure. Since these kinds of “illusion” effects are not often seen in the realm of 2D shape motion, I would like to actively devise more of them going forward. Now that commercials and visual works making heavy use of motion graphics interwoven with text, images, and video—while incorporating short-form shape motion—have increased dramatically compared with a while ago, is there still room for what pure【shape-only】 or【2D-only】 motion can do? At a time when creators are becoming saturated and are also being threatened by the presence of AI, what more can I do as someone who continues to pursue handmade shape motion in the most literal sense? I want to explore the potential of a short, one-shot shape motion that can be seen as a return to origins. In the end credits, the conventional 【Music】 credit becomes 【つかったおんがく】, and 【Video】 becomes 【今見とる映像を作った人】, flexibly departing even from the format I had maintained as a template up to now, and suggesting prospects for a new style of work in the future.

Dios – 黄昏 (Dios – Twilight / Official Music Video)

For the official music video of Dios’s new song “Tasogare,” released in January 2025, I was in charge of some of the cuts. My part consists of two cuts, from 0:29 to 0:32 and from 0:33 to 0:45, totaling about 15 seconds. From the start, the director wanted me on board and cited my self-produced work from three years ago, “Motete!,” as a reference. The method itself — combining motion graphics with footage of my own hands — may already be becoming something of my signature. In “Motete!,” the goal was to create a strange, one-of-a-kind sensation, where hands and shapes guide one another and are guided in return, as if each possessed free will. For this piece, building on that experience and refining it further, I shifted away from a flat, clean style and instead went for an alluring look where dark yet vivid, eerie gradients intertwine, much like “nostalmic” (2023/2). This work feels almost like a mixture of the methods and style approaches from my previous two self-produced pieces, with the hands and shapes boldly and three-dimensionally intertwining as if they had always been there together, elegantly carrying the chorus. As a result, it seems I was able to express a world quite different from the one in my earlier independent works. In the chorus, the lyrics first say, “the gap in the night when I know I can’t escape from you.” Too brief to satisfy, too much to forget. The song uses “tasogare” as a metaphor for something that bewitches and captivates in that way. The chaos resulting from being driven mad by twilight and becoming dependent on love in that “gap in the night” is what is sung in the first chorus. The fact that it is “impossible to escape” is expressed by having the alluring shapes rolled between the two hands. Rather than simply trapping them, it suggests being played with in the palm of invisible hands, despite seeming free. Also, in “the gap in the night,” the scene transitions to a cut where an actual gap is filled by the night itself (the black background), revealing a bright, gradient-infused “sexiness.” However, in the following lyric, “carelessly reached out my hand,” the visuals do not literally show a hand reaching out. Rather than depicting the lyrics too directly, I devised the direction with a subtle balance: at first glance the connection seems thin, but upon noticing the finer details, the meaning comes through clearly. In this music video, where extensive use of 3DCG and a relatively flat style not especially wrapped in effects fill most of the runtime, my section stands out as an extremely unusual presence. But in terms of the overall dynamics, I think it also worked clearly as a contrast.

Brain Juice Bathhouse

Focusing on a “brain-pleasing experience,” this traditional neighborhood bathhouse, familiar to everyone, was dramatically updated through the power of creativity. With an array of devices and staging—from mind-blowing neon lights and illumination to riddles and underwater speakers—it offered a one-of-a-kind “new bathing experience of light and madness” that could only be enjoyed in this place. In the lobby, exclusive “Nojiru Sento” merchandise, as well as limited-edition drinks and food, were also available for purchase. Over the 10-day event period, a total of 4,457 people experienced it, and in the visitor survey, about 93.3% of respondents answered “Yes, I got brain juice!” to the question, “Did you get brain juice?” Following “Henkai Yokocho,” it concluded to great acclaim and overwhelming success.

Method: Stop motion I created this piece while sharing backgrounds and characters with Moji Tsuchiya, each of us imitating the other’s characters. Tsuchiya created the basic storyboard, and we worked out the overall feel of the film by sharing the footage as it was completed. There is a Go scene in the video, and it felt like we were making it while watching each other’s moves, as though I were playing Go with Tsuchiya.

OGRE YOU ASSHOLE - More Like You Than You

2024
00:03:55
Music video for OGRE YOU ASSHOLE’s “More Like You Than You Yourself.” As the title suggests, since the song was about oneself and a person very similar to oneself—perhaps not a mere look-alike, but an existence created by technology such as a robot, AI, or clone—the idea began with wondering whether it would be interesting to make a video in which two different looks are going back and forth. While symbolically treating hand-drawn scenes created with pen on paper and scenes that have been reduced in resolution and pixelated, the two textures gradually blend together and follow a path toward becoming particles in the end. The basic approach is simple hand-drawn animation, with everything drawn on paper with a pen. To create a live-action-like quality of movement rather than a cartoonish one, many scenes were first animated in 3DCG and then rotoscoped by hand.

自分としては珍しくアニメーションと実写素材を組み合わせて編集した作品。ずっと前からMAD動画のような、他人の映像を勝手に拝借して音と合わせるような映像に魅力を感じていたので、それを自分のアニメーションに取り入れるとしたらどんな形になるだろうという実験からこの結果が生まれました。著作権的にアウトなものは作りたくなかったので、実写素材は全てENVATO MARKETという海外のストックムービーサイトから買いました。
