“Searching for a place where the soul can rest, looking for the place where one’s own soul can shine” A delicate young man is crushed by the ordinary everyday world. Born as a human being, he finds it painful to exist: a weak, gentle soul that would be blown away if the wind were to blow over it is led by nature and comes to long to dance through the universe. The drawings and animation were created in Photoshop. The compositing was done using After Effects.

This is a concept film created to communicate the branding image of YRGLM Inc. (formerly Rockon Co., Ltd., renamed on August 1, 2019; https://www.yrglm.co.jp/philosophy/). By capturing the many expressions of the rubber band used in the symbol mark, the film highlights the idea that it represents a material full of infinite possibilities. The visual expression brings to life the symbol’s message of “originality unconstrained by common sense.” The new company name, tagline, logo, symbol mark, and other CI elements were handled by TSDO Inc., led by Taku Satoh. LIGHT THE WAY Inc. was responsible for directing and producing the film. Corporate philosophy: “Impact on the World” Keep creating impact in everything you do. Because the accumulation of small impacts that resonate in people’s hearts will one day become a great wave that shakes the world.
