IKEBUKURO PARCO – NEW FRIENDS

2026
00:00:30
Responsible for the creative direction of Ikebukuro PARCO’s largest renewal campaign since its opening. With the theme “NEW FRIENDS,” we drew on the motif of the “pond,” which is also said to be the origin of the name Ikebukuro, and created graphic designs using a technique that combined animals produced in 3DCG with live-action footage of nature, then re-shot the resulting collage through water in live action. In the film, that impression was recreated once again in CG. By mixing a variety of media, we expressed the city of Ikebukuro and Ikebukuro PARCO as a place where beings that transcend various boundaries cross over.

This work, 5W1h, is a 3D motion graphics piece that reexamines the “meaning of creation” shaken by the rise of generative AI. In the present day, the motion and graphic skills built up through years of effort can be replaced by “just a few clicks.” When confronted with this irrational reality, the “5W1H,” the foundation of information transmission, transforms into “six questions that threaten the very existence of creators.” Where is your goal?: Loss of the place to aim for What do you want to do?: Absence of purpose in expression Why do you keep creating?: Absence of reason to keep creating How did you make it, AI?: Futility of being suspected as AI-generated Who created the AI video?: Humiliation of being mistaken for AI When will you surpass AI?: The moment your own skills are defeated This work visualizes the “hesitation” toward these questions in 3D space, expressing the conflict born in the gap between them and “the meaning of being human-made.” The heart motif that appears in the piece serves as a form that represents the emotions and motives tied to creation. As the questions progress, it changes shape, breaks apart, and eventually its very existence becomes ambiguous.

Description: In the previous work, “ONE another,” while Optimus Prime and Megatron were battling inside a robotic vacuum cleaner, at the very same time, the room itself was also thrown into chaos by the runaway vacuum cleanerーーー. A crisis looms over all the Studio Series figures lined up on the shelf! Released in 2025, this film came out in the memorable year marking the 40th anniversary of Transformers’ arrival in Japan. It is an original story that incorporates many elements from 40 years of Transformers history and a wide range of previous visual works. All Studio Series Transformers are lined up on a shelf based on blue, the brand color of Studio Series. It became a rare opportunity for characters from across the history of Transformers movies and animation to gather in one place. We also paid film-level attention to every detail of the music and sound effects. Please take a look at their 40-year history that goes beyond what meets the eye. For the first part, “ONE another,” a story that unfolds on the same timeline as “WE ARE NOT ALONE,” please see here 🔻 https://eizo100.jp/video/90484

Chukyo TV Corporate Movie

2023

This is a co-directed work with Hideyuki Kojima. Based on the world of papercraft, we carefully shot the film in stop motion, moving through a series of scenes: first, Chukyo-kun and motifs from Aichi, Mie, and Gifu are cut out from paper to create a flat world; then Chukyo-kun transforms into a three-dimensional form, creating a more tactile, dimensional world; and finally, the perspective expands further as the paper world bursts into live action. The transition from the paper hand to the live-action hand was actually filmed in reverse order from what appears on screen. We first shot the stop-motion hand, then converted the hand footage into contour data and cut it out from paper, and finally replaced the paper hand and shot it again in stop motion. Lighting was also quite challenging. Because all of the paper used was the same “white,” if we didn’t use subtle changes in light to create shadows and convey depth, shadow color, and distance between objects, it would simply become an all-white world. We carefully crafted the lighting so that, no matter where you paused the video, it would form a beautiful still image. The live-action scenery is the familiar Nagoya Port. That scene was also done in stop motion, and we shot it while praying for clear weather. On the day of filming, it was a violent storm like a typhoon, and just when we thought everything was hopeless, we carried the camera up to the rooftop—and somehow, the sky cleared up all at once. It was a strange and wonderful moment.

Phantom Siita "Rose-Colored Moon" (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

2026

In this work, built around a new song by Phantom Siita, I sought to foreground the group’s aesthetic beauty and darkness while using Le Fanu’s vampire tale Carmilla as a motif, creating a world that unfolds like a Gothic short film. I had long thought that I wanted to make a vampire film at least once in my lifetime, and when I saw “Carmilla” written in a note from producer Ado, I was extremely excited. Among films based on Carmilla, Carl Theodor Dreyer’s Vampyr is one of my all-time favorites, and throughout this production I also kept thinking about the ashen, anemic pallor of Isabelle Adjani and Klaus Kinski in Werner Herzog’s Nosferatu, another vampire film. The setting is an old mansion that appears on a night of the full moon. Through the process of the girl Heine wandering into the mansion and getting swept up in the Phantom Siita’s—vampires’—festival, the film hints at an unnameable emotional wavering that cannot be clearly defined as romance, dependence, or illness. Visually, while drawing on European Gothic sensibilities and the decadent atmosphere of filmmakers such as Daniel Schmid, I aimed for a textured expression that combines live action and analog collage to depict “illness ≠ love.” That emotion is strictly not equal; here, I do not present it in an easy-to-understand way as “love is an illness.” By portraying, on the same plane, emotions that cannot be labeled—“I love you, I’m drawn to you, I want to hold on to you but I don’t want to, I want to run away, I want to live, I want to die, and I don’t want to die either”—alongside a body that grows weaker and more exhausted, I tried to express that this ungraspable feeling is real. As for the collage, rather than shooting against a green screen, we filmed in a studio filled with vintage props and similar items. Because the relationship between space and the people within it was necessary, and because collage needed to draw out that magnetic field in order to create a distortion of reality, I have lately tried to avoid using green screen as much as possible. By dismantling those elements, I wanted to portray a blurred consciousness and memory shaped by the dislocation of time and space. As for the collage method itself, we would print out live-action frames that had been shot and create animation while rearranging them, and even before shooting there were times when fragments of blurred consciousness, the mansion, or parts of scenes were assembled into analog collages.

Based on the imagery evoked by the title and lyrics, as well as the band’s situation in 2024, we set the theme as “resonance and collision of wavelengths.” As reference points, we drew on Guillaume Apollinaire’s The Magician Who Decays and “Holography Hymn” from Tatsuhiko Shibusawa’s The Sun King and the Moon King to build the world of the piece. To bring the collage created on a flat surface into the real location, we produced the art direction as physical set pieces. With the band’s long-established formation having changed, while preserving the empty space at the center, we sought to honor the band’s intention, and we depicted the camera dolly moving side to side as literal gods of thunder and wind. We also used the set door to suggest that this place is connected to somewhere else. The cut tearing open into a transition likewise carried the intention of representing another place elsewhere.

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.

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.

When I first heard this song, I felt my emotions scatter in every direction, as if confusion and calm were spreading through my chest at the same time. A faint hope within sorrow. A small flame flickering without fading, deep inside a frozen body. This work began by gently gathering those contradictory feelings, the fact that they simply “exist,” as a visual expression. This music video depicts an emotional journey that begins with a parting. How a heart that has experienced loss wavers, and eventually moves toward acceptance. That inner transformation is carefully woven together through color design, lighting, framing, and camera movement synchronized to the rhythm. A room submerged in water, an empty deep sea, a motorcycle racing through the city at night— all of it symbolizes the protagonist’s mental state and emerges as an inner landscape. For the lighting, rather than direct light, I deliberately used reflections and silhouettes to leave room for ambiguity instead of clear-cut “answers.” The camera work was designed to visualize the heart’s fluctuations, shifting like waves from stillness to motion, from tight to wide. As for the structure, I prioritized the flow of emotion over a conventional storyline, so that viewers could focus on simply “feeling” the piece. Scattered memories and thoughts overlap into a single mental landscape, and before long, quietly, they become a tear. That pool of water may perhaps be an ocean made of one’s own tears. I would be happy if this video could gently resonate somewhere with the “deep sea” that exists within each viewer.

This video work is an attempt to speak, through the medium of film, to the ambiguity and beauty held within the word “desire.” Aisho Nakajima’s GANGBANG is not mere provocation, but an anthem to the moments where human instinct and intimacy intersect, and I sought to depict it as a “visual orchestra.” The stage is a sealed, sensual room where shadow and light intertwine. There, the boundaries of gender and identity dissolve, and kisses and embraces emerge as a single fluid language. As the 360-degree rotating camera slowly traverses the space, the audience is led not into the feeling of “peeking” into this world, but into the sensation of “being there together.” What matters is not the correctness of the gaze, but the honesty of sensation. The extensive use of close-ups brings into focus the air drifting between bodies and the fragility that resides in exchanged glances. The lighting is pared down to the extreme, quietly illuminating the contours of the skin and the rhythm of breath. The shadows themselves become the blank space of desire. GANGBANG is a visual poem that affirms someone’s sexual being as sensual beauty. It is political, and at the same time deeply personal. By hovering on the knife-edge between “showing” and “making one feel,” this work once again asks what it means for us to “connect.”

This video work is a poetic piece that portrays the two extremes of “pain” and “brilliance” swirling within a teenager’s heart. Its non-linear, fragmented narrative moves back and forth between reality and memory, as if wandering through the fault lines of recollection, depicting the lingering aftereffects of the protagonist Airu’s heartbreak and the faint light that remains within it. Current loneliness and the tenderness of the past. Shouts and silence, warmth and collapse. All of it layers itself within the rhythm of the visuals, creating a loop of emotion. The camera shakes in hand-held motion, following and capturing emotional turbulence in a physical way. The lighting uses cold blue and gray tones for the present, as if separating existence from memory, while the flashbacks are rendered in warm, slightly overexposed light. Neon glow, like sparks of emotion, occasionally washes over the frame. In the editing, the theme of “a chain of emotions that feels as if it might break, yet never quite does” is expressed through scattered match cuts, dissolves, and glitch-like moments, leaving room in the viewer’s heart. The film repeats rises and falls like a heartbeat, creating an emotional rhythm. This work is a visual poem that seeks to portray all the pain and love hidden behind a single word: “Y.O.U.” It is a visual monologue woven for someone’s emotions that have not yet become words, about self-destruction and rebirth, and how to love and how to lose. Straightforward, awkward, and therefore beautiful — it is a work that burns into image the essence of “teenage.”

This video depicts “the quiet afterglow left behind after parting.” Two people who will never cross paths again. Yet only the threads of emotion remain, thinly and unmistakably, stretching across space. The man and woman never appear in the same frame; each simply stands still within their own world. A man smoking in a room, a woman sitting inside a car wrapped in rain. Time does not move, and there are no words, only emotion drifting there. At the core of this work is “repetition.” The phrase “just because,” repeated again and again in the lyrics. In response, the visuals also repeatedly show the same frames and actions. Exhaling smoke, gazing at the rain, a hand tapping the steering wheel. All of these are mental landscapes of characters trapped within an emotional “loop.” In the editing, by repeating the same moments, the work creates a sensation as if time were melting away. Even within the repetition, subtle changes—a slight shift in light, the timing of a breath, the tremble of a gaze—are woven in, quietly conveying to the viewer that emotion is not completely still. The lighting and camera work are also closely linked to the poetic tempo. Soft, diffused light, streetlights reflected in raindrops, shadows wavering in cigarette smoke. Everything expresses “things that are unclear, yet undeniably there.” Liquid is a visual poem that shines a light on the “ambiguity” of emotion and the things that cannot be put into words. Bittersweetness and release, stillness and suffocation—an audiovisual experience where all of these coexist, like being inside a dream. We aimed for an afterglow that gently touches the depths of the viewer’s memories and emotions.
