This work was created around the theme of the pupa, expressing the intersection of anticipation and unease surrounding Vocalist somunia’s new challenge and the changes that come with it. The complete metamorphosis from larva to pupa, and from pupa to adult, was a fitting motif for conveying a cool, sharp impression that stands in stark contrast to her previously adorable image. The anxiety of changing and the uncertainty of what lies ahead are expressed through the use of mist and clouds, whose far edges are hard to see clearly. At the same time, by viewing the pupa as something like a shell separating the outer world from the inner world, we aimed to depict the gap between inner turbulence and outer stillness. From a desire for what lies beyond her struggles to be something positive, light shines through the harsher spaces in each scene, expressing a hopeful attitude toward change. The pupa writhing within the rugged space dreams of one day spreading its wings as an adult, patiently and cunningly awaiting that moment. This piece was made with the hope that it would evoke that kind of impression—like the calm before the storm.

When I first heard this track titled “B1,” my impression was that it was heavy, underground, dark, and cool in a really stylish way, but I was especially drawn to the chorus and harmony parts woven into its intricate layers of sound. It gave me a sense of not being alone. And B1 also suggests a feeling of being underground. As I organized these elements, I began to think of a project that would depict the deeper emotions of the artist ID in an abstract space, with the surrounding area dimmed in black. While adding diagonal overhead angles and graphic elements that evoke the feeling of being watched by someone, I created a wide variety of shots. The emotional ups and downs were constructed by blending rough handheld work with fixed shots, crowded emotions were expressed through effects, and the cuts using red color throughout convey that, no matter the state or situation, we are human beings with blood running through our veins. Of course, because the situation itself was simple, my biggest focus was on how much the editing in post-production could bring the piece to life, and how to shoot it so that what I wanted to express could be captured. I was very particular about filming while calculating all of those factors.
