Seishin-gaoka Toshimitsu "SPLENDOR" Music Video

In producing an event that is the exact opposite of the clamor of modern society, called the “Daydreaming Contest,” we focused carefully on sound. By drawing on nature, we created visuals that evoke a sense of spaciousness.

Since the song evokes summer, I aimed for a sense of freshness and transience. As this was a collaboration with a composer who has been trending on social media, I raised the saturation to match that image and focused on creating tricky, attention-grabbing visuals. The concept was “the glamorous, flashy side of a YouTuber, and moments of quiet that feel serene.”

I have been entrusted with directing the commemorative film for Aoyama Gakuin’s 150th anniversary. As an alumnus of Aoyama Gakuin Senior High School and Aoyama Gakuin University, I am truly honored and delighted to have been given this opportunity. It was unprecedented for me, as a YouTuber, to take on a project like this, but I poured my heart and soul into every scene, striving to fully express my own style and create the best possible work with meticulous attention to detail. I believe that the feelings of everyone who has been connected to Aoyama Gakuin are each unique, but I feel this film conveys the certainty that the 150 years of history and spirit continue to be passed down today, like a relay baton. I am proud to have been given such a wonderful opportunity, and I will continue to dedicate myself even more earnestly from here on.
