No matter whether it’s a happy day, a sad day, or a day spent at home doing nothing, there is always a flower that suits that day. Even on days that may not seem as splendid as a bouquet, if you choose just one flower at the end of the day, before you know it, it becomes a bouquet. This music video is about giving yourself your own bouquet, for those of us living through ordinary everyday life.

CG animation for the “Nemuru Ma Anime” segment included in U-NEXT Kids’ picture-book reading program “Nemuru Ma Ehon.” By weaving together the factory motifs that Masaya Ishikawa had explored in his previous works with the absurd ideas of Senpuukyaku Hoshiko, the piece was brought to life as a mysterious and charming visual work. The 3DCG production was handled by Hoshiko. Through repeated trial and error, the process by which “something” whose state keeps changing—such as being stretched or painted—is manufactured was visualized. In the latter half, frame-by-frame “faces” are given to the manufactured objects to endow them with emotion, retelling the factory line as a single story.
