The work begins with the idea of portraying the virtual singer “Hika-ji” as a being that contains multiple layers of wounds, and visualizing a sense of life that includes her fluctuations and fragility. Set in a seashore, a symbolic space of transience, the work layers the continuous flow of time in animation with fragments of time captured in film photographs, bringing forth both emotions that keep flowing and memories that remain still. Through physical alterations to the photographs and the use of blurring effects, the work attempts to abstractly visualize the sensation of experiences etched within her, surfacing as layered traces.

A work produced entirely in vertical format. The rapidly shifting visuals express the experience of being manipulated as one’s smartphone is taken over. The result is a video that blends reality and virtuality, making viewers feel as if their own smartphone has gone haywire.

JKD planned and produced the brand movie for the snowboard wear brand “ESTIVO.” Based on the concept “DESIGN YOUR WINTER,” the story follows two snowboarders whose trail colors the snow-covered mountains in vibrant hues. In collaboration with director Hideki Inaba, who has drawn attention both in Japan and overseas, the piece was crafted as a fully animated brand music video that pursues the synchronization of music and visuals, a hallmark of JKD’s work. The original soundtrack was produced by Metome.
