A new material created by THE NORTH FACE. The structure of CROSS CORE DOUBLEWALL was meticulously recreated in CG.

Today's weather forecast ********************** This video work was exhibited in the group exhibition Character Matrix (2024), held at BUG, an art center operated by Recruit Holdings Co., Ltd. This work is an animation themed around "television," and it was created as three programs broadcast by the fictional TV station "Hoshinyan Broadcasting": "Nyan TV Weather Forecast!," "Nyan TV News," and "Angel TV Shopping." Hoshinyan is a character wearing a cat-shaped hood, with twin tails styled like shooting stars. All of the characters are drawn freely and intuitively, without any particular obsession with detail, but they are all easygoing and carefree in temperament. Also, the memory of the game "Domo-kun no Fushigi Terebi," which I was obsessed with in childhood, remains very strong, and its "cute yet slightly unreasonable worldview" and "easy, casual fun" also influenced this work.

A girl living in a suburban neighborhood encounters The Monster on her way into town and, after a car chase, defeats it. I drew inspiration from my beloved 1980s American suburbs. The piece was created with the worlds of “Ocean’s 11” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” in mind, and the featured vehicles were chosen for their retro-futuristic feel—“tools of the future imagined back then.”
