I have developed an original system that generates visuals in real time in response to sound. This video work was created by recording that real-time rendering process.

A preview PV for Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress COMPLETE SOUNDTRACK. The Russian avant-garde-inspired graphic design and typography, which served as the design reference for this CD’s jacket, were composed to match Kabaneri’s Japanese steampunk-like world view.

The method of making the reel was designed as a grid system in the time dimension. Rather than cutting from the full-length footage each time, I chose an editing approach in which short sequences were pre-cut and then rearranged like a puzzle. By defining the production process itself, the aim was to give the final output a tone independent of any individual worker, layering in the magic of division of labor and collaboration.

Kuricorder Quartet, known for their one-of-a-kind, laid-back ensemble sound, rediscover the charm of Japanese songs at long last, just in time for their 20th anniversary! This is the music video for “Gold Bug,” a track from the album Ano Uta Kono Uta, which features a carefully selected collection of school songs and children’s songs arranged with an even simpler instrumentation than usual. The melancholy everyday lives of obsolete scraps that have rusted away and no longer serve any purpose. A tin goldfish toy longs for the gold bug, which glows as it flies freely through the air.
