This was produced as part of the CREATORS WORK initiative for TOYOTA’s “YARIS_DIRECTORSCUT” project. We combined multiple pieces of Yaris series footage and composited them with CGI.

This is the promotional music video for the third original animation by Studio Nanahoshi. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, we began drawing illustrations and manga of “U-Nyan,” an innocent kitten delivery worker, on Twitter in an effort to create a work that would lift viewers’ spirits and bring them comfort. Once the concept had taken shape, we created a storyboard for a short animation. To let viewers enjoy the process of the work coming together, we released it one cut at a time, then added the theme song to the completed cuts and unveiled it as a PV. Using this PV as a basis, we are currently producing a roughly six-minute main feature through crowdfunding with supporters. We aim to create an animation that can be enjoyed by both adults and children, putting our heart into portraying U-Nyan as he learns that “it may not be a big deal, but it is an important role for that person.” ＜Synopsis＞ The kitten “U-Nyan” is overjoyed to be starting his first delivery job! However, he ends up smashing the pizza to bits and trying to sneak a taste of the donuts, and things just don’t go very smoothly... The carefree, innocent U-Nyan starts to feel anxious too. The residents of the town he is delivering to can’t help worrying whether U-Nyan will make it there safely, and before they know it, they’re lending a hand and watching over his growth. This work is a heartwarming story about “the interactions between small children and the adults who watch over them.”
