A music video themed around spirit photographs. Using a thermography camera, we expressed the passage of time through shifting heat. We also incorporated 2000s-style handheld camcorders and low-polygon photogrammetry to create the distinctive atmosphere of a ghost video.

Inspired by the culture of the early 2000s, this motion graphic brings to life an image where the song’s pop and dark, contradictory elements coexist. Special care was taken with the effects to convey the texture of the noise and the details of the sound through the visuals.

Based on the song’s energy and its distinctive rhythm, which can also sound like festival music, the piece was directed and produced around the theme of a “new festival” that brings together all kinds of cultures and elements. Combining a wide range of visuals—fragmentary situations and scenes that Hasegawa Hakushi himself associated with the song and selected, the powerful dance performance by Yoon Ji, a dancer active in Korea, the charming yet quirky characters and animation by Sawako Kageyama, Rintaro Unno’s keenly observed live-action footage of reality, and graphic design inspired by fireworks—it depicts an unknown festival and the excitement of its rising energy as elements that seem at first to be disconnected, blending reality and unreality, merge together.

A music video for the music unit Shinsou C-ku, created by the video production team Sharaku Town (写楽街). The song serves as the theme song for Sharaku Town’s documentary work Ghosts × Cults × Outlaws. The entire MV was shot on an iPhone.
