Ending theme for the TV anime "With You and the Rain." “filled” as the antonym of “empty” Even when we don’t know what kindness or doing the right thing looks like, there are moments when we’re unexpectedly comforted by the time we spend with someone or something. When you’re struggling, I hope there’s someone or somewhere you can go to and let your feelings out. They don’t need to answer; it could be a pet, a doll, a fictional being, or even yourself. Even if you know you’ll lose that presence someday, there are times when the moments you share now feel undeniably meaningful. Perhaps that is a small prayer to keep living, even while carrying feelings that can’t be put into words. Not denying loneliness. But not locking it away either. I wanted to depict the kind of time that gently gathers up the identity of that warmth as it gradually takes shape. I created this work hoping that, for those who watch it, it would become a time of quietly facing the emotions deep in the heart, a time in which something slowly begins to feel full.

This is a self-produced video work themed around spring. It expresses the excitement and positive atmosphere of something about to begin in the new season. I created 12 patterns of square, moving geometric shapes and used them as the main graphic element in the video. At the beginning of the video, as one steps out through a door into the outside world, they encounter various things, and these eventually become flowers. The line that appears in the flower scene, “A flower blossoms for its own joy.”, is a quote by Oscar Wilde, meaning “A flower blossoms for its own joy.” It expresses the feeling of wanting to spend one’s life on things that excite and inspire them. In the scene with the three doors around the 20-second mark, the camera moves toward the door with no footprints. This expresses the feeling of “If I’m going to do it, I want to open up my own path that no one has walked before.”

Music video for Nabowa’s instrumental track “Swan.” Inspired by the image of swans as migratory birds, it was created around the theme of “nostalgia.” Rouge paints over a variety of memories from the past. In sync with the album “DRWINGS,” which includes this track, lines being drawn were used as the main motif.
