This work takes the Japanese novelist Takiji Kobayashi as its subject and reconsiders apocalypse and creation in the present day. Where, after all, does our record of “regeneration” come from? This work is part of the “NEW GAME+” series, which fortuitously began just before the COVID-19 pandemic. The existence of COVID-19, when life is viewed through both micro and macro perspectives, gave us many insights into what is a bug and what is normal. “NEW GAME+” refers to replaying a game after clearing it, while carrying over the cleared game’s status. As we reconsider a new everyday life and the future, we should be able, as players, to act more positively upon reality. Let us begin “NEW (NORMAL) GAME” as many times as it takes.

I was responsible for the motion and offline editing. While taking advantage of the structure of showcasing different design styles for each part in the end credits, I focused on keeping the pacing brisk.
