This work involved many new approaches in both music and visuals, but by communicating closely with Haruyoshi, we were able to create something satisfying. (?) To create the animation, we first needed reference material for the instruments, so we started by making 3D models in Blender. The drawings were done in monochrome, and in the final stage we applied a correction called a gradient map so that they would end up in two colors. The instruments while being played are animated by compositing in 3D models. The storyboard was a collaborative effort, and it was fun to come up with so many interesting directing ideas.

Elephant Kashimashi's "Koyoi no Tsuki no Yō ni" covered by Egashira 2:50. The music video is a visual work that combines rotoscoping and cutout animation techniques.

I was in charge of the pixel animation for the promotional video for Audio-Technica’s record player “SOUND BURGER,” directed and produced by the visual design studio WOW, which is based in Tokyo, Sendai, London, and San Francisco. This is a promotional video for a new color version released in 2023, following the model’s revival in 2022 after about 40 years. Under the communication message “SAVE THE VINYLS,” the story unfolds as SOUND BURGER, which first appeared in the 1980s, travels through time to return to the present day in order to save records that are no longer being listened to. The music was produced by music producer TORIENA.
