Flash animation × Synchro Vox — an anime packed with ad-libbed improvisation. We composited live-action footage of Chocolate Planet’s mouths onto the characters’ mouths to create animated characters. We had wanted to make a work using Synchro Vox for some time, so I think this approach worked out well. [Story] The little goblins “Pīchiki” and “Pāchiki” come from Herupipota Town. They chatter away so much that, for some reason, only their mouths have turned out like this. Why not take a peek at the slightly unusual everyday lives of these goblins as they chat about all sorts of things? A brand-new character with only the “mouth” performed by Chocolate Planet, rendered in live action. Their appearance is a little... unusual, but once you get used to them, they’re cute!? A new-style “narekawa” anime! This work uses the limited animation (Synchro Vox) technique. It employs a method in which live-action footage of Chocolate Planet’s mouths, who provide the voices, is composited onto the characters’ mouths. →https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/リミテッド・アニメーション Improvised performances by popular comedians, including Chocolate Planet, have also drawn attention. In addition to the anime, the work has also been shown as manner movies in Aeon Cinema and Yoshimoto Kogyo theaters.

Struggling with love or work, hanging out with friends, fighting with a boyfriend, going shopping, and sometimes having days when you just want to cry alone... Within the whirlwind of everyday life, the many emotions that overflow are vividly depicted, and the power and emotion of girls who switch gears each day and keep moving forward are beautifully expressed by the actress Maryjun Takahashi in this special movie.

Animation MV directed by Hodon, deputy representative of the video production collective “Kenja.” From “Kenja,” koya participated as an animator. A song in which different emotions coexist: a melancholy melody, crystalline vocals, and fierce drum and bass. In the visuals, fragmented memories of the past with family, recalled only in pieces, are carefully animated, while in the present timeline intense animation unfolds at a dizzying pace. Against the meticulous key animation by professionals assembled by Hodon, who primarily work in TV animation, koya’s fierce, untamed drawing style collides head-on. Bridging them are Hodon’s distinctive drawing-like special cuts, which function throughout the piece. On the compositing section, “Fukkun,” who has known “Kenja” for many years, took part. Combining broad knowledge with extreme ideas, he quietly handles the compositing process from an independent perspective. He pushes the material until the finished look is distilled to a point where one can judge how it should function within the video… all the way to the end… “Easy, because we’re putting everything into it.” When the video production collective “Kenja” first started, most of the work was directed by its representative, koya. Recently, however, more projects have been coming to Hodon, with koya joining in as an animator. It’s a lot of fun to leave things to the director and say and draw whatever we want, so please continue to support us, “Kenja.” 2024/04/20 koya
