Music video for “Yozora wo Kakeru,” the theme song for the Saturday night drama “6-Second Trajectory ~ The Melancholy of Fireworks Maker Mochizuki Seitaro” The protagonist’s feelings of love are depicted through a story-driven narrative with a strong nostalgic appeal. The layout was carefully crafted so that it would become a beautiful illustration no matter where you pause it.

A music video set in the world of the manga BEASTARS. The first 89 seconds also serve as the ending sequence for the second season of the TV anime BEASTARS. The blue-world portion in the first half was colored frame by frame entirely with watercolor paints. By combining this blue segment with the red-world segment that begins in the second half, which is expressed digitally, the video presents two extremes within a single music video, contrasting the tenderness and happiness that have filled the past in the story behind this song with the cruel reality that is to come. For the production of this video, three-dimensional models of each character were created. Using these as references for the drawings made it possible to depict the BEASTARS characters, whose complex shapes are difficult to express through animation, with hand-drawn animation.

This work expresses the emotions felt when you become trapped in an endless loop of helpless anger. It is a loop animation, designed so that on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, it can be watched in an endless cycle. I created it by drawing the animation frame by frame in Photoshop, and then partially using Kaiber AI to give it a more realistic style and alter the textures. The fact that AI produced visuals that were unexpected, or even more than I had anticipated, aligns with the theme of the work: losing control of oneself through anger and becoming someone unexpected.
