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

Hatsuboshi Academy “Wildest Flower” Official Music Video

2022-2026
00:03:02
A music video created for an in-game song from Bandai Namco Entertainment’s social game The Idolmaster Gakuen. The character Hanami Saki was a top athlete in track and field before aspiring to become an idol, and she has a past in which, due to being a late bloomer, she confronted the limits of her abilities at a young age and suffered setbacks. The song’s theme portrays her “setbacks and challenges,” making for an absurd tale in which she moves back and forth between the reality of the setbacks she experienced in the past and the uncertain glory of the future. In the end, she attempts to break through her own limits. To make this pulp-fiction-like story convincing, we aimed for a meditative music video in which the past and future are suspended, combining the image of sequential photographs that draw the viewer’s consciousness back into the past with animation that propels her into the future to the sound of drum and bass. The spirit of craving victory that she cultivated in her years as an athlete, caught between ideals and reality, shakes off notions of records and victory created by others through the act of “running.” By adopting abstract smear frames and a rough, painterly style, we sought to convey, in a sensory way, her spiritual rebirth as an idol (a performer).

AKASAKI - Slow

2025
00:04:02
The people in our memories lose their outlines, while only the landscapes remain vivid. To turn sensation into the structure of the film, I overlaid a rotoscoped “her” onto live-action scenery, designing a device in which she appears only inside circles. I directed and produced the music video for “Toroi” by 19-year-old singer-songwriter AKASAKI. The concept is “fragments of reminiscence.” The film is structured like a patchwork, following a first-person perspective as it traces the memory of a woman who has drifted away. In reminiscence, memories of places and light remain intensely alive, while the contours of people grow hazy. To translate that texture of memory into the visual structure, I shot nostalgic photos and footage in live action, then layered a rotoscoped “her in memory,” drawn in pencil and watercolor, over them. The composition, in which the woman can be seen only within circles placed across the screen throughout the film, visually emphasizes the theme of reminiscence while also suggesting the presence of “someone gazing at her.” The act of tracing memory as if peering into it was itself inscribed into the film.

The work begins with the idea of portraying the virtual singer “Hika-ji” as a being that contains multiple layers of wounds, and visualizing a sense of life that includes her fluctuations and fragility. Set in a seashore, a symbolic space of transience, the work layers the continuous flow of time in animation with fragments of time captured in film photographs, bringing forth both emotions that keep flowing and memories that remain still. Through physical alterations to the photographs and the use of blurring effects, the work attempts to abstractly visualize the sensation of experiences etched within her, surfacing as layered traces.

Kei Sugawara “filled” Official MV

00:03:49
Ending theme for the TV anime "With You and the Rain." “filled” as the antonym of “empty” Even when we don’t know what kindness or doing the right thing looks like, there are moments when we’re unexpectedly comforted by the time we spend with someone or something. When you’re struggling, I hope there’s someone or somewhere you can go to and let your feelings out. They don’t need to answer; it could be a pet, a doll, a fictional being, or even yourself. Even if you know you’ll lose that presence someday, there are times when the moments you share now feel undeniably meaningful. Perhaps that is a small prayer to keep living, even while carrying feelings that can’t be put into words. Not denying loneliness. But not locking it away either. I wanted to depict the kind of time that gently gathers up the identity of that warmth as it gradually takes shape. I created this work hoping that, for those who watch it, it would become a time of quietly facing the emotions deep in the heart, a time in which something slowly begins to feel full.

I directed this year’s promotional video for the Japan Anti-Drug Addiction Campaign, “No Way. Absolutely Not.” When someone has come right up to the edge of the boundary, I wanted to portray the choice to turn back by one’s own will, rather than being stopped by someone else, and thought that perhaps the true meaning lies in the place one has returned to. Rather than presenting a bright future, I wanted to depict the moment of pausing at the very edge, and the beginning of a faint sense of recovery. The piece was structured based on the voices of researchers specializing in drug addiction and those with firsthand experience.

Music video for the song KAWARA NO UMI. Words from someone can hurt you, and your own words can hurt someone else. In the same way, someone’s words can also give you hope. And in that way, you realize you’re not alone. Even in an age shrouded in fog, where the future can’t be seen, I want to find the light. Using letters as the key motif, the film depicts one’s feelings drifting across the sea and reaching an unknown someone.

In the year 3820, the daughter of an archaeologist whose family descends from people who left Earth and settled on another planet sees a baguette—food from more than 1,000 years ago—for the first time, and is carried away by thoughts of the distant past, imagining a romance. Incidentally, at this point in history, humans no longer obtain nourishment by eating food through the mouth, but by bathing in light, so it’s anyone’s guess how they were able to get nutrition from a baguette. When developing the concept for this music video, I asked Mr. Nakamura, composer/pianist of UN.a, about the background of the song. It seems to be a redefinition of the “ballad,” which began with Chopin, and a pop love song. So I thought I’d try to portray an epic love story. Love in the memories of DNA from far, far away... What will become of this long-distance romance that transcends time and space!? The role of the daughter is played by Utae, who is herself a DAW artist. The costumes feature rare collection pieces from AKIKOAOKI’s 18SS collection, a notable up-and-coming Tokyo brand. The striking accessories are by moil.

By linking shots that remain open to multiple interpretations, we aimed to create imagery in which the predicative elements of each shot—verbs and adjectives associated with the motifs—come to the fore, without relying on the reading of symbolic motifs.

A music video that accompanies an instrumental groove like a breeze sweeping along the coastline, visualizing the comfort and lingering resonance of sound. Set at Zushi Marina, it brings to life the “subtle fluctuations” of an AOR-to-balearic sound through soft light and particle effects created with CG. Clusters of light drift in response to the reflections of waves, the flow of the sea breeze, and the guitar’s reverb. By creating a spatial design in which sound seems to take form and rise above a real seaside setting, the groove of the live performance and the rhythm of nature melt into one. Composed so that “sound paints the landscape,” this visual work conveys the nuanced emotions unique to an instrumental band not through words, but through texture. A city-and-sea soundscape drifting between stillness and euphoria.

A synthwave sound that evokes a night drive—this MV portrays sweetly seductive “cuteness” and a somewhat wistful melancholy through the texture of city pop. It multilayeredly captures the midnight neon, the inside of a car, a diner, and the feelings of a devilish girl. The retro 1980s mood that permeates the entire video serves as the core direction, intertwining “nostalgia” and the “present,” while cinematic lighting, muted colors, and the atmosphere created by the small objects inside the car and diner evoke the story’s nostalgia. Add her sweet yet provocative vocals and sharp dance moves, and the instability of the night, wavering emotions, the “inescapable temptation” and the “inescapable reality” all intersect. Built from Synthwave × retro cool × a modern idol, this music video invites viewers on a cinematic late-night drive—a story of temptation and escape.

This music video portrays the protagonist’s struggle and recovery as a “choral member who has lost the joy of singing,” layering it with motifs of flowers and butterflies. The shifting color of the soothing herbal tea “butterfly pea,” which changes from blue to purple, symbolizes the members’ bond and the trigger for renewal, while the overlap between center Yunana Shibata’s member color and Nogizaka46’s signature color reflects a gradient of the heart moving from tension toward release. Butterflies resting their wings before taking flight once more. Inspired by that motif, flower petals rendered in CG drift upward from below to above, symbolically coloring the dance scenes. By singing together with companions, the work delicately depicts the rising emotions that break free from confinement and the shared energy that fills a single space.

Themeing on the contemporary sense of being “enhanced,” this video work interweaves glamour and Latin passion. By layering fabric textures and paint-like animation in multiple dimensions, and using tracking to seamlessly blend live action with 3DCG, it creates a sense of buoyancy in which the real and virtual seem to breathe within the same space. Inspired by the lyrical world, where even heartbreak is “embellished” and turned into a joke, the concept of “enhancing” is reimagined as a positive energy that illuminates the idol’s very presence, beyond the framework of lookism. This dance music video combines sensuality and strength, presenting self-confidence that radiates from within and provocative expressions carried by the rhythm of the dance.

I expressed the inseparable connection with the world of the soul and the inspiration that links them. The spiritual world of the soul and inspiration, the unreal and the invisible, are portrayed in black and white to emphasize that they are inseparable, or that they exist beside people and life and are essential. This keyword, “the invisible parts,” comes from the artist’s own sense of discomfort with the accelerating, defined notion of what is normal and with trends. In truth, the world is driven by the parts that are hardly shown in the media. Above all, I wanted to depict the universal truth that the invisible parts of the heart and soul and the movements of reality are inseparable, and I created the story of a girl who sees in the world of the soul the inspiration that there is no future in a world without a heart.

From the song, I felt a summer-ambience kind of vibe and envisioned something ambient and electronic, so I wanted to make the visuals feel cool and refreshing. Although the meaning of the scenes themselves is abstract, I aligned the visuals with the beat and repeated the processes of editing and creating material to match the worldview of the lyrics, aiming for something that felt cohesively connected overall. For the graphic production and compositing (mainly in Blender, with a little final work in AE as well), I kept searching for something that matched the worldview and was pleasant to watch. During the material creation stage, I tried many different things with compositing in Blender, experimenting through trial and error, and connected various nodes together so that, even within abstraction, it would become something attractive and evocative. I did a lot of experimenting.

We worked closely with the members to develop and refine the story, and we made it with the hope that the small details and hidden touches throughout would help it, along with the song, become something people will love.
