Chatter is not noisy, but harmonious. A pleasant liveliness. The characters create the atmosphere. Of course, the logo is a character too. For Nippon TV’s morning program “DayDay” we are responsible for the program’s art direction and production, from the world view, logo, characters, opening visuals, and other video elements to on-screen graphics and captions.

We were in charge of the direction and CG moving images for a web video produced by Nissan Motor to celebrate a second consecutive championship in the 2023 SUPER GT series, Japan’s premier touring car racing series. In 2022, in both the GT500 and GT300 classes of Japan’s highest-level touring car racing series, the SUPER GT, “TEAM IMPUL” and “KONDO RACING,” both supported by Nissan Motor and Nissan Motorsport & Customizing, each won the series championship. To commemorate a possible second straight title in 2023 as well, Jazztronik (Ryota Nozaki) arranged Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 9,” a year-end tradition, using actual engine sounds from the GT Series, pit sounds, crowd cheers, and more. We hope you enjoy this video, which is a fitting way to close out 2022. To make this unusual collaboration even more enjoyable, we used a variety of techniques, such as switching shots in rhythm with the dynamic jazz arrangement and placing the carefully integrated motorsport sounds on screen so they could be visually perceived.
