『復活の日』は、この世からいなくなってしまった人と、もう一度だけ再会させてくれる番組です。番組では、出川哲朗さんと8年前に亡くなってしまった実のお母さんとの再会を再現しています。

Whateverは企画及びテクニカルアドバイザー、アートディレクション、メイキングムービー「Behind the scene」の制作を担当。

【制作者コメント】
アートディレクション面で気をつけたのは、テレビ的な演出を抑えて、視聴者の方が出川さんとお母様・泰子さんの2人の会話に集中できることです。そのため、椅子とモニターだけの極限までシンプルなセットデザインを提案しました。

テクノロジーサイドで、もっとも苦労したのは、資料写真、資料映像が皆無であったことです。
解像度の低いプリントされた写真数枚と、幸運にも見つかった15秒程度の出川さんと泰子さんが唯一共演した際の映像。音声データはほぼなし。という状況のなかで、CGで過去の人を再現するというのは、困難を極めました。

CGの製作工程は、モデリングはAutodesk Maya、VICON + Faceware + IGS + Motionbuilderを用いて、Unreal Engineに統合してレンダリングし、グレーディングはDavinci Resolve + MISTIKA、コンポジットはNukeを使用しています。ただ、通常のCG制作作業とは違い、ご家族の記憶を辿りながら、少しずつ少しずつ修正を重ねて、繰り返し確認をすることで、泰子さんに近づけていきました。途方もない回数、お兄さまとお姉さまにはご協力頂きました。この場を借りて、感謝申し上げます。

Don’t Drink Me – Taiwanese Beer Flavored Bath Bomb

2024
Only Image
Whatever Taipei developed a “Taiwan Beer–flavored bath bomb” series in collaboration with the local Taiwanese brand HanBeer, as the second installment of its bath bomb line “Don’t Drink Me,” inspired by original Taiwanese drinks. https://www.pinkoi.com/product/CdznjmqQ Inspired by the drinking culture enjoyed at Taiwanese rechao (熱炒) restaurants, the series features three flavors: IPA, lychee beer, and osmanthus beer. Each bath bomb faithfully recreates the iconic aroma and realistic appearance of Taiwan Beer, with meticulous attention to detail, even down to the shape of the foam. Each bath bomb is also wrapped in a specially designed retro beer glass, which can be reused as a drinking glass after use. To commemorate the launch, a pop-up event was also held at “Wetland Venue” in Taipei, offering an immersive “tipsy bathroom” experience. Visitors could take photos in a bathtub surrounded by beer-colored tiles, or join a scent experience session at a unique sink made from stacked beer crates. One thing to keep in mind, however—this bath bomb is “Don’t Drink Me”!

Akabako: Embrace the Warmth of Japanese Bathing

Whatever Taipei designed a new key visual for “Aka Bako Beauty Soap,” the classic best-selling product of the long-established Japanese brand Cow Brand. It also planned the brand’s first-ever experiential special exhibition, “Sento-gaku.” https://www.cow-style.com.tw/index.php The key visual incorporates the classic atmosphere of a sento, designing “Aka Bako” to evoke a warm bath and create a soothing, comforting ambiance. In the experiential exhibition “Sento-gaku,” organized in collaboration with the Beitou Hot Spring Museum, Japanese sento culture is faithfully recreated, allowing visitors to explore the bathing culture of Japan. In the exhibition area of “Sento-gaku,” noren curtains once designed by Cow Brand to suit customs across Japan are displayed in a row. When visitors pass through them, they feel as if they have time-traveled back to a public bath from a hundred years ago. Various sento-related items are also on display, along with a mural of “Red Fuji” made by stacking Aka Bako bars; a faint fragrance fills the space, soothing both body and mind. In addition, during the exhibition period, theme lectures by popular instructors and a DIY soap stamp workshop were also held. Through “Aka Bako,” visitors were given an opportunity to bring Japan’s unique sento culture into their everyday lives.

Kenshi Yonezu New Album Release Event "LOST CORNER AR LIVE in HARAKADO"

To commemorate the release of Kenshi Yonezu’s 6th album, LOST CORNER, we were responsible for the character design and AR production/design of “LOST CORNER AR LIVE in HARAKADO,” held at Tokyu Plaza Harajuku “Harakado.” LOST CORNER AR LIVE in HARAKADO is a roughly five-minute AR experience that lets visitors witness a fictional Kenshi Yonezu live performance, dancing freely through the streets of Harajuku to songs such as the opening theme of the anime Chainsaw Man, “KICK BACK,” and the theme song for the NHK TV drama series Tiger and Her Wings, “Sayounara Mata Itsuka!” By co-creating with SoVeC, part of the Sony Group, and leveraging the advanced capabilities of Sony’s VPS technology, which boasts outstanding precision and robustness, we were able to create an immersive presentation that blends reality and digital content.

NHK E-tele “Aokiiro” Animation “Kurikaeshi no Uta”

2024

We created the animation “The Song of Repetition by ROUTINE RECORDS,” which is used in a new segment of NHK E Tele’s children’s program Aokiiro, together with HERALBONY. “Ao” and “kiiro” are different colors, but when the two overlap, they become the same “midori.” Aokiiro is a program that nurtures a “mindset of coexistence,” in which many forms of life overlap and resonate with one another, and people come to rejoice together, help one another, and live together. In “The Song of Repetition by ROUTINE RECORDS,” we use the “tone” of repetitive behaviors, or routines, which may at first seem strange to others, as exhibited by people with disabilities, as a guide to express their invisible “inner landscapes” through music and animation. We also produced a music video version, “The Song of Repetition,” which brings together the stories of four artists contracted with HERALBONY into a single song.

This work involved many new approaches in both music and visuals, but by communicating closely with Haruyoshi, we were able to create something satisfying. (?) To create the animation, we first needed reference material for the instruments, so we started by making 3D models in Blender. The drawings were done in monochrome, and in the final stage we applied a correction called a gradient map so that they would end up in two colors. The instruments while being played are animated by compositing in 3D models. The storyboard was a collaborative effort, and it was fun to come up with so many interesting directing ideas.

Responsible for the rebranding of SONIC, Nickelodeon’s Indian channel for kids, under the American kids’ network Nickelodeon. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we revamped the visual identity by combining live-action footage of children shot remotely in India and New York with colorful, pop, kid-friendly, and India-inspired motifs, and produced a total of 10 station IDs, along with in-program CG and graphics.
