Gunma Crane Thunders’ new arena, OPEN HOUSE ARENA OTA I directed the visuals for one of the largest giant video screens in Japan

To deliver an impression different from the lyric video that had already been released, we created this piece with deformed characters enjoying summer leisure activities and other scenes, aiming to show another side of this song. In addition, the background illustrations and pixel animations were each produced by people who are especially skilled in those areas.

A conversational comedy short anime featuring the protagonist, Matsuda Meisaku, who aspires to become a masterpiece himself, along with his eccentric classmates. By blending modern themes with a variety of classic works—such as “three little pigs aiming to become YouTubers” and “a tsundere Cinderella”—it creates high-quality humor that can be enjoyed by both adults and children. The series began in 2016 on NHK E Tele’s “Bitworld” and aired through Season 6 (230 episodes). It was selected as a Jury Recommended Work at the Japan Media Arts Festival organized by the Agency for Cultural Affairs. Its YouTube channel has surpassed 300 million total views.

This showreel brings together my own motion typography work, including pieces that are somewhat categorized and one-off ideas that came to me on the spot. “Yoseatsume” may not be the most positive word, as it refers to a miscellaneous collection, but I chose it as a title together with the logo, hoping that viewers might find at least one thing that shines brightly for them. I would be glad if it also sparks interest in my other works.
