サクラクレパスさんの主催する「PIGMA MANGA CONTEST 2019」のPR映像を担当しました。 絵を描く楽しさを、一本の線から世界が回り出すことで表現しました。

　

I am a thief. Throughout all time, there have been many kinds of thieves, but I am a little different from them. I don’t steal money. I have absolutely no interest in antiques, jewels, or other valuable works of art. I am a thief who steals sound. "Haru o hisagu" is a slang term for prostitution. Here, it functions as a metaphor for "music as a business." Don’t you think that’s sad? It’s even more foolish than real prostitution. We shave away our pride to make a living, choose themes that cater to the masses, and search for pop melodies. We create works that are neatly worded and easy to understand. In this way, we sell ourselves—ourselves as expressed through the form of music—to you at a bargain price. I call that "haru hisagi."

SEKAI NO OWARI collaborated with Marvel on a comic. The program “Re:IMAGINE,” released on YouTube, is a seven-part documentary that follows the process of completing the music video “Stargazer” based on that comic. In the sixth installment, I talk about the video production.
