Brand film for C3fit IN-Pulse, a product that lets you measure your heartbeat just by wearing it. Heart rate data sent from runners was converted into beats in real time through programming and a PA system, then played on a track and field course. The film documents the creation of “heartbeat music,” generated by the heartbeat rhythms played by multiple runners and the ensemble they formed together. Although it was a technically demanding project, the skills and focus of the elite team led by Kosai Sekine worked a miracle, successfully capturing the runners at their very best. While highlighting the product’s features, the film keeps its narrative focus squarely on “people,” getting as close as possible to the runners’ genuine emotional shifts—moments of inspiration, excitement, and a sense of accomplishment.

An art animation based on Shotaro Ishinomori’s *Jun*, a manga once said to be difficult to adapt to film, rendered not in cel animation but in a hand-drawn style. With no dialogue, using only music and sound effects, it is a work that speaks to the heart regardless of age or nationality. The film overlays Jun’s episodes with Ishinomaki City’s journey toward recovery from the sense of loss left by the earthquake and disaster, and artistically expresses the idea that through Jun’s growth, dreams can come true if one does not give up, even in difficult circumstances. It is now being permanently screened at the Video Hall of the Ishinomori Manga Museum in Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture.
