As part of MUSIC LOVES ART 2025, a project in collaboration between the Agency for Cultural Affairs and the urban music festival “SUMMER SONIC,” we created a visual work inspired by Mega Shinnosuke’s “Togenkyo to Taxi.” It was screened for 17 days, from Friday, August 15 to Sunday, August 31, 2025, on designated signage in Osaka and Suita (including Expo ’70 Commemorative Park) and in Chiba (Makuhari Shintoshin). The song’s pop and dreamlike world is visualized in 3DCG through vivid colors with a whimsical yet cool sensibility. Centered on motifs inspired by the lyrics, the materials and graphics weave together playfulness and logic.
To accommodate the differing aspect ratios of the signage, the basic unit of the modules within the video is composed of squares, with the layout direction adjusted for each venue.
A wide variety of objects overlap within the video, gradually emerging as a personal “Togenkyo.”
