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.

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

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

2022
00:09:00
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.

This stop-motion animation was created by printing digitally produced graphics and filming them one frame at a time. It uses a risograph, a type of silkscreen printing machine, and six kinds of paper with distinctive textures. When printed with a risograph, irregularities and misalignments occur in the prints. In the film, these factors created a unique feel and texture. As a result, the visuals of the data created digitally and the printed data changed significantly. This phenomenon can be applied to “information.” For a single fact, different outputs—such as the angle from which it is framed or the way it is communicated—can create inconsistencies and shifts in impression even when the content is the same. In addition, when information passes through the filters of the receiver’s emotions, culture, and stance, an entirely different interpretation is ultimately produced. These are not negative things, but positive elements that generate new visual forms and interpretations. Isn’t ambiguity, rather than black or white, the diversity required in the coming era? This film translates such ideas into visual expression and has been completed as a work that suits the new post-COVID era.

Half Mile Beach Club / Sugar Vista

2024
00:04:11
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.

Manaka Inaba “Stardust Escape”

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.

Music video for “PULSE091,” a single by the alternative band O'D SECT. A story of love’s radio waves, swimming through the universe for hundreds of millions of light-years. From the song’s sense of floating through space, and its nostalgic minimal beat rhythms and tones, we created the video with a Japanese retro-future image. 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.

Drifting in a Dream (1st Ion Digital Art Award Winning Work)

2025
00:01:29
“Drifting in a Dream” is a video work that portrays the comfort and light of drifting through a dream. It was created with the aim of freeing the viewer’s mind and offering a moment to be enveloped in a quiet, beautiful dream world. By surrendering to the soft light and sound, I hope it brings back a sense of pure happiness that may have been forgotten. For the production, I used Blender, the 3DCG software I have relied on for many years. I chose Cycles for rendering and devoted meticulous attention to expressing the texture of light and atmosphere. In particular, for the lighting, I repeatedly refined the settings, making full use of softly diffused light and volumetric effects so that viewers could feel a sense of calm. For the music, I commissioned cokiyu, an artist known for creating many fantastical, dreamy pieces and for contributing music to the film Confessions, directed by Tetsuya Nakashima. She delicately expressed the concept of “comfort and light in a dream,” and the visuals and music come together to create an ethereal experience.

Drawn to their gentle sound and poetic resonance, I began to imagine stars descending into a silent forest and a landscape inhabited by tiny creatures. The story begins as stars softly fall from the night sky into the forest. When they reach the ground, they become tiny seeds, eventually sprouting and blooming into “star flowers.” The small creatures of the forest gather around them, playing music as they quietly watch over the flowers. Through the light and sounds spreading across the nighttime forest and the gentle passage of time, I wanted to create a world that feels both peaceful and warm. I created the film using Blender, a tool I have worked with for many years. The forest, stars, flowers, and tiny creatures reflect my love of nature and are rendered with a simple, handcrafted feel. By carefully shaping the light, shadow, and textures, I sought to create a landscape that seems to drift somewhere between reality and imagination. Rather than synchronizing the music and images precisely, I wanted them to gently accompany and resonate with one another. The music was composed by cokiyu, a musician with whom I have collaborated on previous works and who has also contributed music to Confessions, directed by Tetsuya Nakashima. For this film, her delicate piano melodies are accompanied by her clear, ethereal voice, perfectly complementing the atmosphere of the nighttime forest. The lyrics carry the themes of the story, with each word resonating quietly, almost as if speaking directly to the viewer. Her voice gently deepens the visual world, enriching its sense of light, time, and the poetic universe of Seed of a Star. I hope that Seed of a Star will quietly take root in the hearts of those who watch it, allowing their own imagination and feelings to gently unfold.

This video work depicts a surreal world based on the theme of “dreamscapes.” One of the characteristics of dreams is that scenes suddenly change. Strange scenes just before waking, memories connected in fragments—I visualized the experience of dreams I have had so far as a video. The tool used was Blender, which I have been using and loving for many years. Taking advantage of the free viewpoints unique to 3D animation, I created a world that exists somewhere between reality and fantasy. The music for this work is an original composition by musician no.9, who provided a song for the opening ceremony of the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games. The sound design, synchronized with the visuals, further enhances the sense of floating and uncertainty that dreams possess. Please enjoy this new dream experience, where sight and sound intersect.

Deep in the forest, a tiny creature gently plays music――. Each time that sound echoes through the woods, seeds sprout, plants are born, and the world comes alive with color. This work is a magical, heartwarming animation centered on the connection between music and life. It portrays the power of sound and the miracle of life born from harmony with nature. The film was created using Blender and expressed through a charming low-poly visual style. By adopting a simple yet warm design, we aimed to create an atmosphere that gently envelops viewers in the world of the story. We also paid close attention to the subtle direction of light and movement, carefully depicting the forest awakening each time the music resonates. The music is an original composition written by cokiyu, a musician known for creating many fantastical pieces and for contributing music to the film Kokuhaku, starring Takako Matsu. The delicate, dreamlike melodies breathe life into the visuals and add deeper color to the story. Please enjoy this gentle tale of magic, where a small sound can change the world.
