ASO CALDERA HIKE At the plaza in front of JR Kumamoto Station, we unveiled “ASO CALDERA HIKE,” a विशाल space themed around the Aso Caldera, a symbol of Kumamoto’s great natural landscape, with a maximum diameter of approximately 24 meters and a maximum height of approximately 2.4 meters. “What if Kumamoto’s great nature came to the very center of the city?” ASO CALDERA HIKE is a content experience that lets visitors immerse themselves in Aso, the symbol of Kumamoto’s natural beauty. A giant object, inspired by the outer rim mountains encircling the Aso Caldera and measuring up to approximately 24 meters in diameter, was installed at Amu Hiroba. Visitors can step inside the ring-shaped structure, wander around, or sit and relax at their leisure. At night, a show and interstitial effects are performed using a high-brightness projector of approximately 40,000 lumens installed on the upper floors of the station building. PARTY was responsible for the planning and overall direction. Period: Friday, December 3, 2021 – Monday, January 10, 2022 (national holiday) Location: Amu Hiroba (Shirakawa Exit Station Plaza, in front of Kumamoto Station) Show Direction: HIKING SEASONS The theme is the four seasons of Aso. This is an immersive art experience in which visitors walk through a giant object modeled after the Aso Caldera and enjoy the changing, majestic scenery of Aso. From January, when the land is covered in snow and ice, to controlled grass burning, fresh greenery, Miyama kirishima azaleas, grass and blue skies, and pampas grass tinged by the setting sun, leading to a December landscape sparkling with countless stars. A vast projection spread across approximately 600㎡ brings to life Aso’s magnificent scenery as it transforms with the seasons.

震災復興を目的に、NHK Enterpriseと会津若松市、福島県が共催で行った東北地方初の大型プロジェクションマッピング。季節の循環、希望と再生をテーマにした5分半の映像をJKDで制作。音楽は坂本龍一。700年の歴史を誇る鶴ヶ城の天守閣に 16台のプロジェクターを使って迫力のある映像を投影した。伊東玄己、Woog等のJKDアーティストを中心に、総勢10数名の制作チームが、地元の人達の心に響くものをと、一丸となって取り組んだプロジェクトは、結果大成功。初日の3/8(金)に、報道関係者へのデモ上映が行われ、同日21時のNHK News全国放送で、トップニュースとして取り上げられた。翌日からの本番は、予想をはるかに上回る来場者数で、ものすごい反響。本番中は、何度も歓声があがり、上映後には、地元の方達から「感動した、本当に素晴らしかった」という声を直接頂いた。意義深いプロジェクトに参加できたことに感謝。
