Description: P.I.C.S. produced the MV for Eve’s “YOKU,” inspired by Kanebo Cosmetics’ “KATE YOKU Collection.” The direction and character design, among other elements, were handled by illustrator Mai Yoneyama, who also designed the product packaging. Animator Hideki Inaba (P.I.C.S. management) also took part in the production. The work was created with great attention to effects and color, using a structure in which everyday life—the monochrome scenes—gradually becomes colored, and then bursts into vivid color the moment desire is unleashed.

Ending theme for the TV anime "With You and the Rain." “filled” as the antonym of “empty” Even when we don’t know what kindness or doing the right thing looks like, there are moments when we’re unexpectedly comforted by the time we spend with someone or something. When you’re struggling, I hope there’s someone or somewhere you can go to and let your feelings out. They don’t need to answer; it could be a pet, a doll, a fictional being, or even yourself. Even if you know you’ll lose that presence someday, there are times when the moments you share now feel undeniably meaningful. Perhaps that is a small prayer to keep living, even while carrying feelings that can’t be put into words. Not denying loneliness. But not locking it away either. I wanted to depict the kind of time that gently gathers up the identity of that warmth as it gradually takes shape. I created this work hoping that, for those who watch it, it would become a time of quietly facing the emotions deep in the heart, a time in which something slowly begins to feel full.
