This is a recording of a solo live performance given at the audiovisual event “Flow vol.8” (2025), held at Ritsumeikan University’s Osaka Ibaraki Campus. All of the sound and visuals were performed live in real time by a single person. A 300-inch LED screen was installed in the venue, and the glass windows beside it reflected the screen like a mirror at night. To make use of this environment in the performance, the visuals were designed to move back and forth between the physical screen and its reflected image. Specifically, the visuals were rendered on a canvas equivalent to two screens wide, then folded back and overlaid before being displayed on the screen, allowing the image to move from the screen to the glass and back again. The audience experiences the boundary between the actual screen and the virtual image dissolving, with the visuals freely circulating between the two. The title “Mirrored” comes from this reflective structure. In addition, since the brightness of the 300-inch LED screen itself functions as the venue lighting, the overall light and darkness of the space, as well as the pacing of the performance, were designed through the use of flashes and control of the screen’s overall brightness. The music and visuals are synchronized via OSC, and all images are rendered and controlled in real time. The sound is spatially arranged through 4-channel surround output, and together with the reflected visuals, the performance is designed to envelop the audience through both sight and sound. It is a one-of-a-kind performance inspired by the specific conditions of the venue, and possible only in that place.

Produced as the opening video for VTuber Ryushen’s self-produced project, “Ryushen’s Solo Play.” With a concept inspired by “a strange circus in a deserted town,” it was expressed through photo collage in a vintage-style design. To preserve the feel of a variety show project, it was finished with an atmosphere that retains a sense of pop appeal.

We developed the video around the themes of “freedom,” “deadlines” (breaking away from stereotypes that exist as assumptions), and “summer.” The song itself carries the concept that we don’t need to be influenced by things bound by deadlines as norms, such as summer or youth, so we built the structure in line with that idea. We didn’t want to create a structure that condemns something as an antithesis, so the message is that each person’s free will (or right to choose), which resides within them, does not necessarily have to be bound by social norms. That said, through discussions with the artist, we were basically in agreement that we wanted to make something catchy and humorous, so rather than presenting the concept like a placard, we treated it as something seated within the work itself, while shaping the structure so that it would work well with the song’s sense of exhilaration and tempo. As for the production method, every shot was filmed against a green screen and composited in CG. As mentioned above, we wanted the composition and cuts to feel unique in keeping with the concept, so we combined a noisy retro texture with cinematic shots. We also used bold camera work, including 360-degree cameras.

We created the music video for ano feat. Ikuta Lilas’ “Zetzetzetzettai Seiiki.”
