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 Sing and Learn: "When You're in a Bear-y Bad Spot"

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.

NHK E-TV’s “Miitsuketa!” music video for “Rakuda Katabura.” This is a song about “Rakudashi-san,” a traveling camel character played by Toma Ikuta. Written and composed by Rekishi (Takafumi Ikeda), it’s a pop number full of healing vibes that helps ease your mind when you’re tired.

NHK E-tele’s “The Wakey Show” music video for the September 2025 learning song, “The Song of Impressionism.” This song is about a character named “Marigold,” who is well-versed in art, and is themed around “a song that teaches you about the art movement Impressionism.” In the video, the “Motte Pets” dolls, which appear in various roles throughout the program, are dressed up as Impressionist painters, and the piece is edited so that Marigold and the painters seem to be singing together. I was responsible for the direction, character design for the painter costumes, magical CG, and editing, including compositing. Editing environment: Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve

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

What Is an Art Museum Like? Yokohama Museum of Art Animation

An animation introducing how to spend time at the museum and the guidelines for visitors. The song was specially written by Ichiyanagi. The joy of drawing, the joy of looking, the joy of not knowing. It was created with the hope that people would encounter the works with a free spirit. Several works from the Yokohama Museum of Art’s collection also appear in the video, which is based on the museum’s theme colors, pink and gray. The technique combines drawings on paper with digital coloring. An illustrated “Children’s Mission Sheet” was also produced alongside it.

I don’t dislike rainy days. The lively plants, the sparkling ground, and the moist air all feel pleasant to me. As I’ve grown older, I’ve come to think that I don’t dislike rainy days after all, and in fact I’ve started to enjoy them. This piece was created inspired by the stories and photographs about rainy days that I heard from Ms. Shoko. As for the technique, I drew it on paper with oil-based pens. To evoke the image of rain lines sparkling and to create a cheerful feeling, I used a variety of lines. Set to rhythmic music, this work depicts the everyday life of a girl and her cat enjoying a rainy day with high spirits.

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.

somunia - Unstep feat. Kenmochi Hidefumi

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.

An opener created for a symposium featuring Takayoshi Sakai, a world-renowned authority in gel research. Through cartoon-inspired visuals, the piece connects Dr. Sakai’s approachable personality with the precision of his research, aiming to bridge the gap between advanced science and the general public. The graphic style was later adopted as a visual identity for the Sakai Laboratory, and has since been expanded across logos, web design, presentation templates, and academic illustrations in the same unified style.

“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…….”

To celebrate his 30th debut anniversary, Ken Hirai will release and make available all of his music videos on November 19, 2025. 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 “Buddy”

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.

The boxfish lacks confidence and always spends its time alone among the rocks, envying the other fish. 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.

Nyan Tele Weather Forecast!

2024
00:00:33
Today's weather forecast ********************** This video work was exhibited in the group exhibition Character Matrix (2024), held at BUG, an art center operated by Recruit Holdings Co., Ltd. This work is an animation themed around "television," and it was created as three programs broadcast by the fictional TV station "Hoshinyan Broadcasting": "Nyan TV Weather Forecast!," "Nyan TV News," and "Angel TV Shopping." Hoshinyan is a character wearing a cat-shaped hood, with twin tails styled like shooting stars. All of the characters are drawn freely and intuitively, without any particular obsession with detail, but they are all easygoing and carefree in temperament. Also, the memory of the game "Domo-kun no Fushigi Terebi," which I was obsessed with in childhood, remains very strong, and its "cute yet slightly unreasonable worldview" and "easy, casual fun" also influenced this work.
