In the fall of 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic began, this work was created to express, in line with the song’s content, the intention of wanting to meet in person while being in separate spaces, through its filming and presentation.

A story of a man who, after enduring countless torments of hell, comes to possess himself. I aimed to depict universality that feels real to myself and to Velladon by projecting it onto Trinitarian thought and Kafkaesque absurdity. The work was created while evoking mythology and history around the Roman Empire. The black figure is Y, the silver figure is N. Y and N are the same person, and by driving one of them to the extreme, the other breaks free of absurdity and comes to possess himself as one being. Compared with my most recent works, the darkness of the story and the worldview express my direction much more purely.

A man immersed in delight. Having seen not only his own “outside” but also his “inside,” he was freed from anxiety and fear toward an unfathomable beauty, and was immersed in delight. The beauty he saw then was something grand and endlessly expansive, like the universe; he was like a cherry tree towering in the “outside,” nourished by the various things within, through the veins spread throughout his whole body. In contrast to the outside world that can only be seen through the eyes captured by a lens, CG (the beautiful thing he saw) is expressed as another world within the body, yet different from reality; this video uses pixelated animation made from live action and 3DCG.

Created with the theme of psytrance + zombies + romance, aiming for a nightmare-like cuteness. This work explores graphic expression across the entire piece, from character design and CG to lyric design.
