At Hoshino Resorts Aomoriya, a hot spring inn where you can fully immerse yourself in the culture of Aomori, the stage show “Michinoku Matsuriya,” which expresses the seasonal scenery and festive energy of Aomori through an original performance, reopened on April 1, 2022. At the same facility, Daisuke Hashimoto (P.I.C.S. management) of LIL served as general director and producer for the currently running program.

This work is characterized by a visual expression in which music and imagery are highly integrated. Its striking sense of typography and lyric motion that is perfectly synchronized with the music create an immersive visual and auditory experience. Dynamic camera work adds depth and movement to the visuals, while meticulous compositing down to the finest details enhances the overall texture and cohesion of the piece. Through precise adjustments that required a tremendous amount of work, the level of completion was further elevated, resulting in a finish that emphasizes its unity with the music. It was crafted with this kind of integrated expression to deliver an overwhelming sense of pleasure to the viewer.

Directed by Shu Ikushima, the opening visuals for NHK Otsu Broadcasting Station’s latest Shiga news programs, “Oumi Hatsu 630” and “Oumi 845.” The result is a fresh, vibrant visual piece inspired by Lake Biwa. “Oumi Hatsu 630” is designed with a bright, soft, and gentle image, while “Oumi 845” has a slightly more refined, composed nighttime feel. The music is by Hiroko Sebu, known for her film scores and more. In addition to the opening visuals, title cards and other graphics were also produced.
