A story about a protagonist who has grown tired of putting on airs and faces their unadorned self.

To celebrate his 30th debut anniversary, Ken Hirai will release and make available all of his music videos on November 19, 2025. The full version of the official music video for “ON AIR” (from his 9th album THE STILL LIFE), directed and animated by OTAMIRAMS, has also been released. - This music video for “ON AIR,” a heart-fluttering pop song full of ‘80s flair that Ken Hirai wrote as the 30th anniversary theme song for his hometown station FM Mie, captures the song’s retro charm. Although it had not yet been released, the track was performed at venues across the country during his nationwide hall tour marking the 20th anniversary of his debut, where it drew a strong response. Now, the up-and-coming creative team OTAMIRAMS has turned it into an addictive yet cute and fancy animated music video brimming with ‘80s style.

Music video included on the first-press bonus edition of rapper-singer DAOKO’s second album. Since the song title is “Boku,” we developed the idea of “selfies and Instagram,” and because it was also meant to be an animated MV, we planned to use photographs for the backgrounds in order to reduce production time while improving quality. Based on that, we proposed a plot in which “while playing with an AR selfie app, you get sucked into an AR world and drift through cyberspace.” In keeping with lyrics that suggest DAOKO, after her major-label debut, gained new fans while also losing old ones, the MV depicts high school–aged daoko confronting the post-major-debut DAOKO, with the unsettling story gradually unfolding as her personality is peeled away, like a broken link on a website.
