Description: I received a long letter from Mr. Shijin describing the rich life his family leads deep in the mountains, and I created this piece while imagining that way of life. He said it was made with the image of a “sound baby,” so I didn’t think about it too deeply; instead, I made a video that would leave babies with a sense of wonder, excitement, and a little fear when they watch it, something that stimulates the senses through sight and touch. It was produced using stop-motion and line-drawing animation.

In contrast to the song’s theme of “struggles with and challenges to change,” the lyrics and logo incorporate a symmetrical ambigram gimmick to convey the message that even opposites are the same self. To encourage listeners to piece together the story, motion and typefaces from previous works are interwoven throughout.

Description: “Scuffin” refers to the lines etched into a bottle through repeated use. A returnable bottle requires the extra step of being returned in order to be used again. This is the story of a bottle journeying around the earth, marked with “scuffin” as proof that someone returned it. A web movie for Pocari Sweat’s returnable bottle. The scenes in which the bottle glows were filmed by shining projector light onto cut-paper artwork.
