Animation MV directed by Hodon, deputy representative of the video production collective “Kenja.” From “Kenja,” koya participated as an animator. A song in which different emotions coexist: a melancholy melody, crystalline vocals, and fierce drum and bass. In the visuals, fragmented memories of the past with family, recalled only in pieces, are carefully animated, while in the present timeline intense animation unfolds at a dizzying pace. Against the meticulous key animation by professionals assembled by Hodon, who primarily work in TV animation, koya’s fierce, untamed drawing style collides head-on. Bridging them are Hodon’s distinctive drawing-like special cuts, which function throughout the piece. On the compositing section, “Fukkun,” who has known “Kenja” for many years, took part. Combining broad knowledge with extreme ideas, he quietly handles the compositing process from an independent perspective. He pushes the material until the finished look is distilled to a point where one can judge how it should function within the video… all the way to the end… “Easy, because we’re putting everything into it.” When the video production collective “Kenja” first started, most of the work was directed by its representative, koya. Recently, however, more projects have been coming to Hodon, with koya joining in as an animator. It’s a lot of fun to leave things to the director and say and draw whatever we want, so please continue to support us, “Kenja.” 2024/04/20 koya

~Yellow little bear "GUCHON" receives an invitation from the veteran overseas label "CHIWAX." He hops on a plane and joins the party as a DJ on a beach where pistachios are running around...~ This music video began production to commemorate the release of the first analog record from an overseas label by "GUCHON," the owner of Japan’s long-established internet label "Sabakan Records"... but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, record production was delayed again and again, and the animation MV was created over a span of three years in a situation where no one knew whether the record would ever actually be released. The world was in a complete mess, but the world of the work is all about love and peace, and various members of domestic internet labels, as well as overseas labelmates, are turned into characters and appear in the piece. The creative team brought together members who have close ties with "Koya," known as "the sage," and the final film was completed while preserving each person’s distinct drawing style and animation style.

Music: Kokushi Musou "Kiaisocho"
