Description: This video was produced for the SNS promotion of Suntory Yasashii Mugicha. We overlaid lyric motion on footage of Yoshio Kojima performing a live rendition of his “Oppappi” song, with the lyrics rewritten around the theme of recycling, creating a slightly cooler image of Kojima than usual. By expressing the energy of Kojima’s singing through pop, bouncy motion, we added visual interest to the video while delivering a message emphasizing the importance of recycling.
