This is the official music video for “Heart of Rainbow” by Tsuyoshi Domoto of .ENDRECHERI. Based on the image of the song’s “colors of the rainbow,” it is composed of cuts featuring water, glass, and light, and has been animated as an ensemble drama including people from a wide range of circumstances, so that viewers can find themselves somewhere within the imagery.

NHK Minna no Uta, broadcast from April to May 2025 This animation was created to accompany the song “Yūyake ga Umareru Machi,” by Ikimono Gakari meets Humbert Humbert. It was made with feelings of love for one’s hometown where one was born and raised, the resolve to keep moving forward on one’s own path, and pride in the life one has walked so far. The video posted here is an excerpt without audio. Please be sure to watch the full version with audio on the broadcast.

.ENDRECHERI. Tsuyoshi Domoto’s heartfelt rearrangement of “Machi,” the singer-songwriter debut song he released in 2002, revisited 22 years later in 2024. Starting from Nara, Tsuyoshi’s hometown, the piece depicts each scene with the image of moving eastward through Osaka, Aichi, and Tokyo. It was mainly produced as 2D cutout animation with digital drawing, and the two opening shots of the character’s movement were created using rotoscoping.

The shadows of carp streamers filmed live-action were turned into animation using rotoscoping. Each frame was drawn by hand on 100 sheets of tracing paper, stacked three layers at a time, and stop-motion shot with DragonFrame.
