Description: ① Hirose transforms into seven different personas → Inspired by the lyric “Let’s warp away from this ruinous world,” we created a video in which she warps into and connects through a variety of situations, regardless of nationality or gender, making it highly shareable on social media no matter where it is clipped, while keeping viewers entertained. ② Reproducing Hirose by creating a 3D mask of her → By having special effects makeup artist Amazing JIRO create a special mask of Hirose’s face, we eliminated the distinction between Hirose herself and the dancers, giving birth to a dancing Hirose. ③ Choreography that viewers can easily imitate → In pursuit of greater social media virality, we commissioned the Powerpuff Boys to create the choreography. ④ Expressing a chaotic world that mixes eras, spaces, and tones → K-POP STYLE, NEO kawaii STYLE, HIP-HOP STYLE—just pure chaos!

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.

This animation uses idioms and wordplay based on the kanji for “heart.” Please enjoy the many different “heart” motifs depicted here. While exploring an expression that is a little different from previous motion typography, this work was created through a collaboration with designer JEFF99 (@nesspaula99), whom I met on social media. Although some of the meanings are a little off, we aimed for something friendly and approachable. Main production tools: Adobe After Effects, Premiere, and Autodesk 3ds Max Music used: MooveKa, “Happy to See You Again” from Artlist https://artlist.io/royalty-free-music/artist/mooveka/2404
