.ENDRECHERI. Tsuyoshi Domoto’s heartfelt rearrangement of “Machi,” the singer-songwriter debut song he released in 2002, revisited 22 years later in 2024. Starting from Nara, Tsuyoshi’s hometown, the piece depicts each scene with the image of moving eastward through Osaka, Aichi, and Tokyo. It was mainly produced as 2D cutout animation with digital drawing, and the two opening shots of the character’s movement were created using rotoscoping.

Responsible for the creative direction of Ikebukuro PARCO’s largest renewal campaign since its opening. With the theme “NEW FRIENDS,” we drew on the motif of the “pond,” which is also said to be the origin of the name Ikebukuro, and created graphic designs using a technique that combined animals produced in 3DCG with live-action footage of nature, then re-shot the resulting collage through water in live action. In the film, that impression was recreated once again in CG. By mixing a variety of media, we expressed the city of Ikebukuro and Ikebukuro PARCO as a place where beings that transcend various boundaries cross over.
