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

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

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.

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

2026
00:03:45
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.

2024
00:04:44
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Aisho Nakajima – Gangbang feat. Yohji Igarashi (Official Music Video)

2024
00:02:23
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.
