On Monday, April 1, 2024, “Mujun - Atman in Brahman (Radio Edit)” was released from the soundtrack of THE TRIP -Enter The Black Hole-, a stage production exploring the mysteries of the cosmos, presented by COSMIC LAB and overseen by Jeff Mills. The track features Jun Togawa, a legendary figure with an overwhelming presence in the Japanese music scene, as vocalist. The worldviews of Jeff Mills and Jun Togawa organically blend and crystallize, and in the MV, she intersects with an AI version of Jun Togawa, resulting in a band-oriented yet minimal, floating track that breaks free from the image traditionally associated with Jeff Mills. Shinichi Yamaguchi and Kazuhide Yamaji of Togawa’s band Yapoos also took part in the recording. Lion Merry, another member of the band, is credited with composing the melody.

Working since the 1980s, ∈Y∋'s output has influenced and shaped experimental music in his native Japan and across the globe. From noise and psychedelia to performance art and visual art, ∈Y∋'s career is a collage of creative mischief and devilish collaborations. He has performed with the iconic Sonic Youth, on John Zorn’s Naked City (1990), and with the influential South Korean artist Nam June Paik, among many others. Expect a face-melting and mind-warping audiovisual battery as the mutant cyberkinetic noise of ∈Y∋ is combined with the rampant visuals of C.O.L.O from Osaka’s Cosmic Lab to birth an immersive audiovisual performance. Through projects such as FINALBY( ) with ∈Y∋, C.O.L.O has developed integrated systems in which visual structures generate and shape sound, treating audio and image as a single, inseparable medium to create site-specific, transformative experiences.

Description: For Fishmans’ solo performance at Tokyo Garden Theatre, C.O.L.O. was responsible for the VJ/video production for “LONG SEASON,” a 40-minute song. The over-three-hour Time and Space created together with 6,000 audience members was a breathtaking work of art. We would like to express our gratitude to producer/sound engineer zAk, who made this opportunity possible, as well as to the members and everyone on the team.

XG 1st WORLD TOUR “The first HOWL” FINAL Landing “SHOOTING STAR”

2025
The Tokyo Dome performance held as the finale of XG’s first world tour, 【XG 1st WORLD TOUR “The first HOWL”】. COSMIC LAB created the content by building a unique system that seamlessly and freely integrates live camera footage with motion graphics and real-time VFX. It was an electrifying stage worthy of the finale of a world tour that spanned nearly a year, and a night that made the future of live camera direction feel within reach.
