Since this was the music video for the opening theme of the hit anime *Ya Boy Kongming!*, we prepared costumes inspired by all kinds of party people. I thought this was the kind of project that avex is often known for, where they force a Japanese cover onto a foreign dance track like MAX’s “TACATA’” or DA PUMP’s “U.S.A.,” so rather than making it feel like a standard female idol dance MV, I wanted it to have a sort of joke-like quality. That’s why I took the feel of a Para Para instruction video, or those avex trance MEGAMIX videos that were everywhere in the ’90s and 2000s, and warped it through a 2022 sensibility to create a kind of outrageous spectacle you’ve never seen before. The background is constantly shimmering and insanely acidic, creating a totally incomprehensible cutting-edge design where momentum, madness, coolness, lameness, and stylishness all exist at the same time. The animation near the end, which shows Shibuya—the setting of *Ya Boy Kongming!*—being covered in hearts by a kaiju’s heart attack, was created by Rapparu!!!!! Thanks to this animation, the MV gained so much depth and became a very moving piece of footage. Rapparu’s animation is truly the best.

I was in charge of directing and editing. I aimed to create a video that lets viewers experience the Jump CH content catalog in a lively, fast-paced way.

Description: A two-player zero-sum finite deterministic perfect-information game is one of the classifications of games in game theory. Many board games that are not affected by chance, such as chess, shogi, checkers, Reversi, the stone-taking game (Nim), Go, Renju, Gomoku, tic-tac-toe, Xiangqi, Mancala, and Twixt, fall under the category of two-player zero-sum finite deterministic perfect-information games. ....From Wikipedia This work directly depicts an Othello game in the style of a battle anime.
