The opening animation for Black Butler: Emerald Witch Arc. It was created by blending hand-drawn animation with a 3DCG world assembled in a papercraft-like style, with a slightly thick, plastic-like texture.

A sequel to the short film “The Moment of Beauty,” produced in 2014. Following the previous work, the protagonist travels across space and time from a surreal world to the galaxy, triggered by light. There, he encounters a being like himself. Into the heart (the galaxy)… Production began in 2015, but after two revisions, the work was completed on the third attempt in the winter of 2016. The work was created mainly using After Effects, Cinema 4D, X-Particles, Turbulence FD, and Krakatoa. This work was honored by being selected for the 2019 Adobe After Effects splash screen.

.ENDRECHERI. Tsuyoshi Domoto’s heartfelt rearrangement of “Machi,” the singer-songwriter debut song he released in 2002, revisited 22 years later in 2024. Starting from Nara, Tsuyoshi’s hometown, the piece depicts each scene with the image of moving eastward through Osaka, Aichi, and Tokyo. It was mainly produced as 2D cutout animation with digital drawing, and the two opening shots of the character’s movement were created using rotoscoping.

Conceptually based on a “NEO faux Showa party,” with an emphasis on being utterly offbeat and bizarre. By incorporating a variety of forms of expression, the chaotic atmosphere was brought out more strongly.
