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.

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

YOASOBI "Comet" Official Music Video

2020, 2021

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.

A series of short animated films created for *Synapusyu*, TV Tokyo’s program for infants and toddlers. The story follows a group of bread characters who secretly sneak out of a bakery and encounter various foods under the moonlight, dancing together as they go. The hand-drawn animation combines playful, organic movement with a kyogen-inspired vocal performance and the repetitive rhythm of “Pan-pa-pan!” While each episode follows the same basic structure, the sounds and dances change with every new food character, creating a visual experience that encourages children to clap their hands and move their bodies.

**"Appo-kun and Appuppu"** is an animated short created for the TV Tokyo children's program Synapusyu. The film follows Appo-kun, a cheerful apple character, as he cycles through a variety of facial expressions and invites children and parents to join in a playful face-making game inspired by the Japanese expression “appuppu.” Imitating facial expressions is one of the most natural ways for infants and toddlers to engage with others. This work was designed around simple character shapes, repetition, and rhythm to encourage children to smile, imitate, and actively participate while watching. uwabami was responsible for the character design, animation, and direction. Rather than creating a passive viewing experience, the goal was to create a piece that encourages parents and children to make faces together and share spontaneous reactions through play.

A spin-off animation for adults derived from the popular “Minna no Dance” segment featured on TV Tokyo’s infant and toddler program “Shinapshu.” With simple, approachable characters and dance performances set to lively music, it humorously portrays small everyday scenes. In this work, the theme is “an evening drink,” expressed through humorous dance that captures the relaxing end of the day. Its short, intuitively enjoyable format and gentle world view are key features.

Directed and produced the music video for virtual singer “Yunagi Ushio” (@yng_ushio). With “soft aggression” as the central theme, we pursued choreography that expresses immature negative emotions. 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.

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.

Aiobahn feat. Kana Hanazawa - fade into blue (MV)

2026
00:03:27
Through a being in the shape of a girl who continues to drift without being able to become a snow crystal, I expressed the feeling of being unable to take the same form as those around you because of slight differences in conditions. Humans appear only as large hands, never showing their faces or bodies. The warmth of the hand she first touches causes her to lose her crystal form, and in the final scene she drifts back onto that same hand. The same human warmth is both what transforms her and, in the end, what receives her. I placed this kind of touch, which cannot be reduced to a single simple meaning, at the center of the work. I also sought to depict blue not merely as a symbol of sadness, but as a color containing the coldness of rain, light, the sensation of wetness, and transparency. I wanted the ending not to be closed off as either salvation or despair, but to leave room for it to be read as either loneliness or comfort.

We created an animated music video based on Kubo Saki’s “Ihoujin.” It is based on Daisuke Nakagawa’s interpretation. “Masterclass in Song Analysis” If we examine the lyrics of a classic hit in depth, what kind of message will emerge? In this program, young people of the Reiwa era thoroughly analyze beloved songs from the Showa and Heisei eras through a modern sensibility! The stories born from that process are then turned into brand-new music videos.

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

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.

Inspired by ramko’s song, I wanted to express in this video the feeling that “if you stay true to yourself and remain as you are, you can suddenly become aware of emotions that are easy to overlook in everyday life,” and that was the concept behind this production. In the MV, Kuromi-chan’s inner conflict is portrayed with a look that drifts between dream and reality. I hope viewers can enjoy the feeling of peeking a little into Kuromi-chan’s heart through the visuals.
