This work involved many new approaches in both music and visuals, but by communicating closely with Haruyoshi, we were able to create something satisfying. (?) To create the animation, we first needed reference material for the instruments, so we started by making 3D models in Blender. The drawings were done in monochrome, and in the final stage we applied a correction called a gradient map so that they would end up in two colors. The instruments while being played are animated by compositing in 3D models. The storyboard was a collaborative effort, and it was fun to come up with so many interesting directing ideas.

At the 22nd Tokyo International Music Market (22nd TIMM) TIMM Showcase Live, we created live footage of REIRIE’s “Butterfly Kiss.” Rendered in an 8-bit arrangement, this is a “cute” pixel-art animation packed with their charm and all the elements that make them who they are.

Kinoho’s song “Daimondai” is expressed through a fusion of emotional summer imagery and a fantastical CG world.

Description: A “naked-eye 3D” video that made a giant Akita Inu appear to leap out of the Tsutaya Ebisu-bashi Hit Vision screen in Osaka’s Dotonbori. The creators studied the dog’s cute gestures and aimed to make it a display that would not be outshone by the neighboring popular signs. The Akita Inu, which became a hot topic in Shibuya, made its first appearance in the Kansai region and drew media attention as well.
