We produced the collaboration music video “Echoes of Silence” by The Weeknd and Hajime Sorayama. Launched as a flagship project for The Weeknd’s 10th anniversary, this fully 3DCG work was completed over a production period of approximately two years with a team of more than 50 staff members. Centering on Hajime Sorayama’s globally acclaimed “Sexy Robot,” it visualizes an epic romantic tragedy. At HOEDOWN, we handled the concept, planning, direction, and production in an integrated manner.

We produced the original drama “Niwani wa Nihwa” for KURASHI NO DOUGU TEN. Created from scratch as a fully original work together with screenwriter Keisuke Kamiya, this series is a buddy story about the slightly unusual pairing of Tsugumi Aoi (Rie Mimura), a real estate agent, and Tsubame Toriumi (Hana Morimoto), a repair specialist. It gently and lightly portrays people who keep striving through each day while living with what’s missing in their lives.

Sony designers and science fiction writers collaborated to depict “Tokyo in 2050” using the methodology of sci-fi prototyping. With the three keywords “2050,” “Tokyo,” and “romance” as a broad framework, they held a series of intermittent workshops to explore four themes—“WELL-BEING,” “HABITAT,” “SENSE,” and “LIFE”—which culminated in “design prototyping” by designers and “short science fiction stories” by science fiction writers.

Exploring a variety of expressive approaches through different techniques, such as digital drawing that looks like pen-and-ink or pencil-and-watercolor illustrations, animation compositing with photorealistic 3D, and creating and compositing animation with analog ink. Outside of reels, I also work on planetarium pieces and other projects using hand-drawn 3D created with VR painting.
