This song is the theme song for the serialized TV drama series Bakebake, airing in fall 2025. With the hope that it would remain a beloved work for many people long after the drama has ended, it has been reimagined as an animation. This time, the concept was developed by Ryosei Sato of Humbert Humbert, and based on that idea, production moved forward while drawing parallels between the rapidly changing era from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji era and the lives of those of us living in the present day. It depicts the perspective on work expressed in the lyrics, as well as the way we continue our daily lives, facing a wide range of emotions in the course of our everyday existence, unchanged in any era.

I aimed to create visuals that, through motion, bring out the energy of the music and design, along with the images from the film footage shot by the director, while making them feel darker and more beautiful, leaving a stronger impression through the composition of each shot.

We produced a web commercial for ZONe Energy’s 240 ml short can, “QUICK BOOST.” A narrow tunnel enveloped in darkness. In the midst of it, a glowing vending machine appears. With the power of ZONe, light is brought into the darkness!
