Opening movie for the comedy sketch show “Debug to the Future” on dTV Channel. The theme song is “Delicious Water” by Nigami 17-sai.

We produced a brand movie for NIHON KAGAKU’s new brand, DEMI DO. Centering on colorful products, the film expresses the brand’s world through dynamic movement, aiming to create an image in which scalp care fills everyday life with anticipation and excitement.

As part of the research for the “Digital-Driven Super-Resource Circular Participatory Society Co-Creation Hub” by Taisei Corporation and Keio University SFC Research Institute, we produced a concept movie for “Vortex City,” a future city that realizes a new resource circulation system. We also built the website and created the key visual for the research activities. Because Keio University and Taisei Corporation had a clear vision for the future, we explored expressions that could serve as a future image for today’s children. By adjusting the materials and textures, we created a future that feels like an extension of the present, and we expressed to the fullest the future lifestyle envisioned by the client.

teamLab explores what ownership is through Matter is Void. This work is an NFT artwork. There is only one NFT for this work, but the NFT does not grant the work its uniqueness. The work itself can be downloaded by anyone and owned by any number of people. In other words, whether or not one owns the NFT, the downloaded work cannot be distinguished in any way; all of them are authentic. This work is inscribed by teamLab with the words “Matter is Void.” However, the NFT owner of this work can freely rewrite the words within it. When the NFT owner rewrites the words, every copy of the work owned around the world is rewritten with those words. And through the NFT owner’s words, not only does the value of the work change, but if those words have value, more people will own the work; if they have no value, no one will display it. The value of rewriting a work that many people are viewing may be high, but the value of rewriting a work that no one is displaying may be low. In other words, the value of this work’s NFT will also change according to the words of the NFT owner. The characters of the written words continue to revolve and rotate on their axes. Depending on the angle, the ever-rotating characters can be recognized, and there are moments when their meaning can be understood as a whole; yet once again, they become meaningless shapes that can no longer be read as letters. Visually, the letters’ revolution is the same whether they rotate left or right, and depending on which direction of rotation one becomes conscious of, they can appear to rotate either counterclockwise or clockwise.
