Regardless of the country or ethnicity behind the music, I interpreted the message in my own way: if hearts connect, everything becomes one. With that in mind, I aimed for a global, even cosmic perspective, and incorporated PCs, social media, and design as expressions that erase borders and divisions. I also made a conscious effort to create a video that children can enjoy, regardless of age or language. I would be happy if this upbeat message reaches many people.

The worldview and message of Casper Caan’s song “Last Chance” are expressed through a story told with 2D animation and collage techniques.

The music video for 36km/h’s song “Ghost.” Here and there, the time of “those who are no longer visible” continues to fold and layer upon itself. It depicts the shadow of a traveler who goes on to claim all those things that can no longer be grasped.

I participated as one of the directors of the music video for Be:FIRST’s song “Scream.” The dance scenes were directed by Kensaku Kakimoto, and the members’ solo scenes were directed by Ritsuko Nomura.
