This project began as a side story to Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s 2017 music video for “WanteD! WanteD!” It focuses on a certain girl (Yurina Hirate) who exists in the same world as the 2017 video, which evokes a sense of impending apocalypse. The real-life sense of an ending that spread during the COVID-19 pandemic resonated with the world originally envisioned for this work, greatly expanding the concept. It directly visualizes the various emotions and the multiplicity of themes that emerged through repeated discussions with Hirate and the staff.

This work received the First-Time Participant Award in the motion category of the “MAX CHALLENGE 2023” contest held at Adobe MAX Japan 2023. The theme was “Dream Bigger.” It depicts scenes of pursuing dreams in everyday life, telling a story of moving forward toward those dreams. To express a dreamlike atmosphere, I designed it with pop-style characters and a bright color palette.

We produced the music video for Kiro Akiyama’s “Identity.” It tells the story of a boy left alone in a future world where humanity has declined.

酔っ払いの目線を歪ませる要素を入れてダウナーに。曲がかっこいいので、そこにセクシーさや美しさを入れてイメージを底上げ。顔の華の彩度をあげることで鬱々しい世界観の中での美しさを際立たせる。そうすると思った以上に破滅的な印象に仕上がりました。
