In March 2025, TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY, a new urban district directly connected to JR Takanawa Gateway Station and one of the largest in central Tokyo, opened to the public. On the same site, THE LINKPILLAR 1 and Takanawa Gateway Station also fully opened. The remaining buildings will be completed and the grand opening will take place in spring 2026. From March 27 to June 28, the “Future Experience Theater” was open to the public at THE LINKPILLAR 1. WOW was responsible for planning, directing, and producing the film screened in this theater. Under the mission of “experiencing TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY through film,” we chose an approach centered not on explanatory direction, but on storytelling that encourages emotional engagement. Featuring a modern-day boy as the protagonist, the story is set as a time-travel journey through Takanawa’s memories and the future envisioned for this city. Through the boy’s eyes, it portrays urban life and human connections born from history and culture, with the aim of creating a story that would inspire people who may one day live here to feel hope and anticipation for TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY. The music was commissioned from the alternative rock band hitsujibungaku. The immersive experience of the full 3DCG film projected in a 180-degree cylindrical theater, combined with the world of the film woven by hitsujibungaku’s music, created an even more emotional viewing experience.

Description: Responsible for the key visual for the LUMINE 2018 Christmas campaign, as well as in-store visuals, signage, and various animations for all LUMINE locations. The visuals and animations were developed around the concept of a factory that turns all the good and bad things from the past year into happy memories.

Voice describes a room and a life within it. This video consists of objects in a room and voices calling them. By using 3D models generated with photogrammetry and a list of nouns in a rhetorical manner, I tried to depict a room and the life within it as a fragmentary arrangement. A video in which the objects in a room and disembodied voices calling them are synchronized. Using still photogrammetric 3D models and a string of nouns, I attempted to depict the room and its inhabitant’s life and emotions as a fragmented arrangement.
