I was in charge of the animation for NHK Minna no Uta’s “Boku no Naka no Guitar Case” (“Me Inside the Guitar Case”). The image that came to mind was of a humble, steadfast me, living each day while carrying worries and anxieties. Turning the various thoughts and realizations that arise in everyday life into music, and that music enriching my life. I wanted to depict that adorable little life. I also felt that this song was not only for those who dream of becoming musicians, but for everyone who is pursuing different kinds of dreams. So I decided to make the animation feel like a collection of pieces from an ordinary, simple life. This time, the protagonist is me, carrying a guitar case, but I think many of you may find your own lives reflected in it as well. I hope your everyday lives will come to feel dear and precious to you. *The video shown is silent due to licensing restrictions.

A promotional video for the release of Volume 37 of Weekly Shonen Jump’s HUNTER×HUNTER. In sync with the series’ resumption in the magazine, the Dark Continent arc is revisited only minimally, with a structure designed to intuitively convey the “stirring intentions” of the various characters. To preserve the feel of the original artwork, no coloring was applied, and the complex, multifaceted breadth of the story was expressed through chromatic aberration and analog-style color shifts.

An attempt to maximize spatial perception through motion expression using points, lines, and surfaces This video repeatedly proposes a different space through the next motion, as if resetting the setup the moment the viewer tries to recognize some kind of space from the movement of points and lines. Through this continuous spatial transition, it seeks to visualize the internal imagery of the brain in a trance state, as found in festivals and similar experiences.

The motifs from cosmetic packaging move pleasantly.
