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.

[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.

YOASOBI "Comet" Official Music Video

2020, 2021
00:03:40
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

A music video that uses VFX to blend live action and 3DCG. It tells the story of MON7A, a game-loving protagonist who enters a video game world and encounters spiky enemies. Highlights include dynamic camera work that races freely through the scene, using techniques such as 3D scans of the artist, and visual direction in which the real and virtual worlds melt together. It makes abundant use of animations created with Blender’s Geometry Nodes.

NHK Morning Drama Series "Anpan" Opening

NHK’s serialized TV drama “Anpan,” modeled on Takashi Yanase and his wife Nobu, the couple who created “Anpanman.” Because the two met and supported each other through turbulent times and made it through together, their work did not remain a thing of the past, but has transcended time and is still loved by children today. This film expresses the life that gave rise to such an enduring masterpiece through imagery that connects the past, the present, and the future. Filming was done entirely with VFX using chroma key, with volumetric capture also used in part. Mio Imada appears not as the protagonist Nobu, but in her modern-day form, representing the viewer and serving as a guide through the world the two created and colored with their own hues. The theme song is RADWIMPS’ “Tamemono.”

This was the “Tsukiuta” video for November 2025, broadcast on TV Tokyo’s infant and toddler program “Shinapushu.” Aiming to create visuals that babies and young children could enjoy intuitively, the piece was produced by combining a variety of techniques, including hand-drawn animation, clay stop-motion animation, and live-action compositing. The main character, the mochi “Mocchan,” was sculpted in clay and animated in real life in order to give it a three-dimensional feel. Inspired by the texture and rhythm of SAKANAMON’s music, the video visualizes the feeling of “liking something” through rounded forms and pleasant motion. Set in a fantastical world, it was finished in the style of a road movie, following “Mocchan” on a journey in a kitchen car. Techniques: hand-drawn animation, stop-motion, clay animation, live-action compositing, After Effects

Summer Cold

2025
00:03:40
A short film created for submission to the screening event “FRENZ2025.” In anticipation of its summer release, the script was written around the theme of summer, and ǢǪ composed the music based on the script and character designs. The result was a story-driven visual work that focused on the excitement of looking forward to summer vacation, as well as the wistfulness and loneliness of summer’s end, Obon, and the many different facets of summer. This visual work takes as its theme the summer vacation of two second-year high school students, told from the perspective of Rei Izumi. Using analog techniques to create a nostalgic atmosphere, it depicts the scenes in which Rei’s feelings for Chikao, and the diary pages recording their memories together, appear and vanish like a life flashing before one’s eyes, alongside the music. By staining printed illustrations with tea and coffee to create blotches and signs of wear, and incorporating textures rendered through analog means such as crayons and India ink, the work expresses how the days the two spent together gradually become more and more hazy. ・Synopsis After the closing ceremony, second-year high school students Chikao Amaha and Rei Izumi headed to a family restaurant to discuss their plans for summer vacation. During the break, Chikao would be busy with a part-time job, and Rei with activities in the art club, but even so, they were filled with excitement for the summer vacation about to begin.

This work was created around the theme of the pupa, expressing the intersection of anticipation and unease surrounding Vocalist somunia’s new challenge and the changes that come with it. The complete metamorphosis from larva to pupa, and from pupa to adult, was a fitting motif for conveying a cool, sharp impression that stands in stark contrast to her previously adorable image. The anxiety of changing and the uncertainty of what lies ahead are expressed through the use of mist and clouds, whose far edges are hard to see clearly. At the same time, by viewing the pupa as something like a shell separating the outer world from the inner world, we aimed to depict the gap between inner turbulence and outer stillness. From a desire for what lies beyond her struggles to be something positive, light shines through the harsher spaces in each scene, expressing a hopeful attitude toward change. The pupa writhing within the rugged space dreams of one day spreading its wings as an adult, patiently and cunningly awaiting that moment. This piece was made with the hope that it would evoke that kind of impression—like the calm before the storm.

SINN PURETÉ – Shinjuku Cross Vision 3DOOH

2024
00:00:15
”Exploration 1: Studies for Naked-Eye 3D Vision” is the first installment of an in-house research project by SUNJUNJIE focused on the media characteristics of naked-eye 3D vision. In this work, we explored what kinds of video-based advertising expressions are possible by making use of the medium’s characteristics, such as creating a sense of depth through optical illusions, movements that catch the attention of passersby, visual composition, and sound design. As smartphones have become more widespread, advertising expression has increasingly taken on the aspect of a medium closely integrated into everyday life. In advertising expression, we believe it is always important to pursue a balance between people’s everyday world and the fictional stories being presented. To make this project feel more realistic, we felt it necessary to express its world not through a fictitious client but through an actual brand product, so we approached the fragrance brand “SINN PURETE” with a collaboration proposal. We discussed the video planning with the collaborator and decided to create two 15-second movies, each based on a different theme, in order to explore the greatest possible range of expression on a low budget. The first film expresses the world of SINN PURETE through its three product lines. The second film merges SINN PURETE’s mascot character with the world of SUNJUNJIE, aiming for a pop and humorous expression that feels distinctly Tokyo. The creative elements we challenged ourselves to include were how to create a striking 3D pop-out effect, and the selection of objects and movements that would be interesting when they emerge from the screen. Since not everyone watches a video from the beginning, we aimed to capture attention from any point of entry, while creating a sense of controlled busyness rather than mere chaos. In particular, we paid close attention to the design of the framing structure, the imagined depth, the actual size of the billboard, and the relationship between viewing distance and scale.

“Urashima Tarō’s ending is just too sad...” Many people probably felt that way when they were children. With the hope that there might have been a happy story waiting beyond that ending, singer-songwriter Daisuke Mori sings about Urashima Tarō’s second life with plenty of pop charm and humor. The visuals are created by Ohtamirams, a creative unit active across a wide range of genres, including the music videos for Wednesday Campanella’s “Momotaro” and tofubeats’ “Koi to Missile,” as well as commercials, short films, and picture books. [From the Animation Team, Ohtamirams] 《What on earth happened to Urashima Tarō after he became an old man?》 In order to answer the long-standing question of people across Japan, we at Ohtamirams were given the opportunity to animate the continuation of the story to Daisuke Mori’s music. Since everyone, if they keep living long enough, will eventually arrive at a second life, we at Ohtamirams put a lot of thought into it and came up with a logline: “What if Urashima started doing little jobs to help everyone, and in that world line he was able to enjoy a happy, long-lived second life surrounded by many new friends?” We also made it into a seasonal piece that makes the most of Urashima’s signature trait of “aging.” We’d be delighted if, every winter season, people would remember this song and animation…… This is an animation that “wishes upon a star” for “the best and happiest New Year’s season and second life for everyone in Japan…….”

The full version of the official music video for “ON AIR” (from his 9th album THE STILL LIFE), directed and animated by OTAMIRAMS, has also been released. - This music video for “ON AIR,” a heart-fluttering pop song full of ‘80s flair that Ken Hirai wrote as the 30th anniversary theme song for his hometown station FM Mie, captures the song’s retro charm. Although it had not yet been released, the track was performed at venues across the country during his nationwide hall tour marking the 20th anniversary of his debut, where it drew a strong response. Now, the up-and-coming creative team OTAMIRAMS has turned it into an addictive yet cute and fancy animated music video brimming with ‘80s style.

NHK Minna no Uta, broadcast in February and March 2026. We were in charge of the animation for a song in which singer-songwriter Mao Abe sings straight from the heart to a simple melody about the power and warmth of a special relationship called a “Buddy” — neither lovers nor family, and a little different from other friends — as well as the fragility and poignancy that come from supporting each other and being supported in return. We depicted this special relationship called “Buddy” as two cats drawing manga together. Kindred spirits who share the same aspirations, walk in the same direction, and go through both joys and hardships together. I think if you could meet such a Buddy, you would surely be happy.

Then one day, it meets a pygmy seahorse said to have come from the sea of Minamata, and sets out on its first adventure to help bring the pygmy seahorse back to the sea of Minamata. Based on Sakana-kun’s picture book The Boxfish’s Wish, this short animation portrays the diversity of living creatures, environmental issues, and the affirmation of one’s own individuality.

“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.

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.
