Commentary: I made this piece from the idea that motion graphics are not just something you watch by pressing play, but can also be interactive. You can interact with it here: https://ioriiwaki.framer.website/private/motion_graphics_interacvite Using Rive, an interactive motion graphics tool, I created something like a website key visual or an app splash screen. I believe that things that function interactively on the web, in games, or as installations can also be considered motion graphics.

Responsible for planning and producing the music video for Kenchinmin - Routine feat. Tsubaki [illmore remix]. Based on a song about the repetition of everyday life, the video was created around the theme of repetitive routines in the future. Unity was used for the video production.

This was created as the ending video for the creator livestream event “Creators’ Year-End Party.” I made it while thinking about how much quality I could achieve in just one day of production time, using a retro pixel-art style.

Commentary: My first meeting with Kanta was in the spring of our first year of college, at a club meet-and-greet. The duo known as Mizutamari Bond was formed about eight months later, on January 1. Our first stage performance was at Shinjuku Fu Live on January 8. The following January 1, we began posting videos every day on YouTube. Two years after that, we decided to make our way into society as Mizutamari Bond. (Tominaga repeated a year.) Was it fate that two people who are opposites in every way would continue doing this together? I think it was a miracle. If we had met even one day earlier, if we had formed our duo even one day later, if we hadn’t performed that bit at our first stage show, maybe we wouldn’t be together now. I’m not saying things like, “We’re a miraculous duo!” But even if a time machine were invented and I could go back to the past, I wouldn’t go. And even if I did, I’d definitely come back having done nothing. “If Mizutamari Bond Had Met in High School” is a work created from those feelings.
