This 15-second piece was created for “JAA Omnibus: Infinite ∞ 15-Second Animation,” a segment of “Into Animation 8,” an event hosted by the Japan Animation Association (JAA), which Shota belongs to. Interpreting the theme “infinite ∞” in my own way, I handled everything myself, from coming up with the idea to creating the animation and composing the music, and completed it in less than one week in total. I worked on the rough sketches in CLIP STUDIO PAINT (iPad version) to check the motion. After that, I scanned drawings made on paper and finished the video using After Effects and Photoshop. The music was created by humming the idea into a melody and building on it with GarageBand. The vocals were also recorded from my own singing.

I participated in and created this work for the logo movie project “Hulu IDs” for the U.S. version of the streaming service Hulu. I aimed to create an animation style that was energetic and exciting above all else. The music was made together with a friend I have worked with since my student days. As for the singing, I wanted to create a Japanese song that people overseas could enjoy too, so I chose Japanese words whose pronunciation I found appealing, regardless of their meaning, and arranged them to fit the melody.

Hiyoko-chan is looking at her own face reflected in the mirror. For some reason, that expression seems deeply troubled. And on top of that, her smartphone breaks into pieces. How could something this awful happen? Hiyoko-chan’s heart is about to crack just like the phone screen... The moment she gets home, Hiyoko-chan eats Akuma no Kimura. As the spiciness takes hold, her stress vanishes, and so does even her sense of self. Along with her release from stress, laughter echoes throughout the room. Did you notice anything a little off about this text? That’s right. If you read it vertically, it actually... Nothing happens. Are you annoyed? That’s right. That’s stress. If you look at this site, you’ll probably get even more annoyed. URL　https://www.chickenramen.jp/nagasugir...

Description: Due to the pandemic, Broadway theaters were shut down, and actors spent a year and a half in limbo. Racism also worsened, and hate crimes targeting Asians ran rampant. That is New York City, USA. It is easy to confront negative events with anger. However, those of us living in this city still choose to pursue the dreams and ideals we want to achieve here. Because that is the “JOY” in life. - - - - - - - - - - We expressed our reflections on the events and emotions experienced uniquely by spending the extraordinary years of 2020–2021 in New York, together with Asian musical theater performers active on Broadway, set to original music. Winner of the Jury Award at the New York International Film Award.
