Animation for the May monthly song “Drive” on Shinapushu (TV Tokyo), the first commercial TV program for children ages 0 to 2. Aired from May 1 to 31, 2024

Set to a song that feels like wordplay, it repeatedly transforms and branches from one form to another. The content depicts days that loop from morning to night. The image blurs and collapses into soft, squishy distortions, yet the way it keeps changing shape and moving forward is, for me, a kind of dynamic equilibrium. No matter how much I think of myself as me, the person I was three minutes ago and the person I am now may be completely different. No matter how much joy or sorrow there is, it is only part of a larger process of change, and yet we still have to keep living—that is what makes this world feel a little like hell.

We tried a variety of approaches, including 3D Gaussian Splatting, photogrammetry, stop-motion photogrammetry using nine GoPros, and making use of the 3DS stop-motion feature. With the concept of being playful yet cool, we aimed to create an experimental and entertaining video.

Music video for amiinA’s song “sign.” Based on the unit’s concept, “awake mind into ideal naked Avalon,” it expresses a fantastical world through a combination of digital and analog hand-drawn animation.
