Kuricorder Quartet, known for their one-of-a-kind, laid-back ensemble sound, rediscover the charm of Japanese songs at long last, just in time for their 20th anniversary! This is the music video for “Gold Bug,” a track from the album Ano Uta Kono Uta, which features a carefully selected collection of school songs and children’s songs arranged with an even simpler instrumentation than usual. The melancholy everyday lives of obsolete scraps that have rusted away and no longer serve any purpose. A tin goldfish toy longs for the gold bug, which glows as it flies freely through the air.

Animation showreel from 2018 to 2020.

At the foot of Mount Nyotai, a spring wells up in a peering dry well, and Jizō returns with a frog. In the galaxy’s homeland, a masquerade in a brimful spring (lotion). A kaleidoscope peeks, and inside is Jizō. The frog is blessed and reborn as undergarments, transcending dimensions. This video was created to commemorate the collaboration between TENGA and Saigo no Shudan. As the fifth installment of “TXA-TENGA by Artist-,” a project in which TENGA Co., Ltd. creates apparel, goods, and other products together with artists, four collaborative items were released with Saigo no Shudan.
