A collection of works by video director/designer Hotaka Shimazu (MeMeM). His work spans short film direction, motion graphics, and documentary video production.

This work was created through the first collaboration between Kohei Kadowaki and Takaya Kawasaki. It incorporates real-life experiences from Kawasaki’s childhood, and also features photos taken by Kawasaki himself in his hometown and at his home, as well as timelapse footage of the sky shot by Director Kadowaki. The result is a fresh, innovative visual work that seamlessly blends live action and animation. Told as a fantasy-tinged story beginning with the encounter between a boy who has come from the future in a time machine and an elderly man, it delicately portrays the two characters’ memories, bond, and eventual parting through gentle, warm animation.
