Kouhei Nakama (WOW) once again collaborated with director Hibiki Yoshizaki of Studio Khara to produce the opening sequence for Season 2 of the anime Kaiju No. 8, following their work on the first season. The sequence visually expresses the inner turmoil and emotional conflict of Kafka Hibino / Kaiju No. 8, caught between his human and monster selves. The opening theme, “You Can’t Run From Yourself,” was written specifically for the series by AURORA, the renowned singer from Norway.

Created from discussions with Studio Colorido director Kyo Yoshizaki, this video visualizes the question, “Where do kaiju come from, and what is their purpose?” Set to “Abyss” performed by YUNGBLUD, it abstractly depicts, in a single continuous shot, the process by which cells born in the deep sea grow and divide before emerging on land as a kaiju, while interweaving the characters’ emotions.

Elements, kept as simple as possible. Behavior, made as natural as possible, something that never gets old. With “10¹² TERRA,” we explored the interplay of light and shadow created by the rotation of the outer and inner shades of a white, geometric form. The source of motion is nothing but convection caused by the heat of an incandescent bulb. Without using any motorized power, we pursued a natural, beautiful, gently flowing movement of light. “LUX” — What we set out to design was not a fixture called lighting, but “the behavior of light” itself. It softly shapes the space with drifting light and shadow. A beautiful, conceptual light, here.

He has performed with the iconic Sonic Youth, on John Zorn’s Naked City (1990), and with the influential South Korean artist Nam June Paik, among many others. Expect a face-melting and mind-warping audiovisual battery as the mutant cyberkinetic noise of ∈Y∋ is combined with the rampant visuals of C.O.L.O from Osaka’s Cosmic Lab to birth an immersive audiovisual performance. Through projects such as FINALBY( ) with ∈Y∋, C.O.L.O has developed integrated systems in which visual structures generate and shape sound, treating audio and image as a single, inseparable medium to create site-specific, transformative experiences.
