Description: For Fishmans’ solo performance at Tokyo Garden Theatre, C.O.L.O. was responsible for the VJ/video production for “LONG SEASON,” a 40-minute song. The over-three-hour Time and Space created together with 6,000 audience members was a breathtaking work of art. We would like to express our gratitude to producer/sound engineer zAk, who made this opportunity possible, as well as to the members and everyone on the team.

G-STAR x FACETASM “DENIM DEPOT UNIVERSE”

2024
00:01:01
Announcement of “DENIM DEPOT UNIVERSE,” a limited capsule collection by “FACETASM,” led by Hiromichi Ochiai, and Amsterdam-based denim brand “G-STAR RAW.” Stills and a PR movie, with total direction by C.O.L.O / COSMIC LAB, have been unveiled. By wearing clothing, humans have challenged harsh environments such as outer space and the ocean floor, gaining freedom and creativity. Under this theme, scenes were created that seamlessly connect everyday life with adventures to unknown places. The filming location was the “Misono Universe Building,” a venue that has been ahead of its time since the 1950s. Inspired by NASA archives, the denim designs and the one-of-a-kind space of the Misono Building resonated with each other, giving rise to a new creation.

COSMIC LAB presents JEFF MILLS 『THE TRIP -Enter The Black Hole-』

00:00:51
The world premiere of the stage art work THE TRIP -Enter The Black Hole-, led by Jeff Mills, was performed in Tokyo on April 1, 2024. This is the world premiere of THE TRIP -Enter The Black Hole-, a stage art work co-produced by Jeff Mills, the world-renowned DJ and pioneer of Detroit techno, and COSMIC LAB, one of Japan’s most innovative visual teams. With black holes as its theme, Jeff Mills handled the overall direction, script, and music, while COSMIC LAB expanded his vision of the cosmos and way of thinking through visual direction. In addition, Juju Togawa, who like Jeff Mills has been active since the early 1980s, joined as a singer, and choreographer Hiroaki Umeda, internationally acclaimed for his cross-disciplinary work spanning contemporary dance and digital art, was also part of the production. The stage costumes for each performer were designed by Hiroshi Ochiai of FACETASM, one of Japan’s leading fashion brands. This live expanded cinema work, a journey to the farthest reaches of the universe and an exploration of the deepest depths of the mind, was performed at ZEROTOKYO, equipped with a visual system developed by COSMIC LAB and state-of-the-art sound facilities.

Contradiction – Atman in Brahman (Radio Edit) by Jeff Mills x Jun Togawa

On Monday, April 1, 2024, “Mujun - Atman in Brahman (Radio Edit)” was released from the soundtrack of THE TRIP -Enter The Black Hole-, a stage production exploring the mysteries of the cosmos, presented by COSMIC LAB and overseen by Jeff Mills. The track features Jun Togawa, a legendary figure with an overwhelming presence in the Japanese music scene, as vocalist. The worldviews of Jeff Mills and Jun Togawa organically blend and crystallize, and in the MV, she intersects with an AI version of Jun Togawa, resulting in a band-oriented yet minimal, floating track that breaks free from the image traditionally associated with Jeff Mills. Shinichi Yamaguchi and Kazuhide Yamaji of Togawa’s band Yapoos also took part in the recording. Lion Merry, another member of the band, is credited with composing the melody.

We were in charge of the direction and CG moving images for a web video produced by Nissan Motor to celebrate a second consecutive championship in the 2023 SUPER GT series, Japan’s premier touring car racing series. In 2022, in both the GT500 and GT300 classes of Japan’s highest-level touring car racing series, the SUPER GT, “TEAM IMPUL” and “KONDO RACING,” both supported by Nissan Motor and Nissan Motorsport & Customizing, each won the series championship. To commemorate a possible second straight title in 2023 as well, Jazztronik (Ryota Nozaki) arranged Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 9,” a year-end tradition, using actual engine sounds from the GT Series, pit sounds, crowd cheers, and more. We hope you enjoy this video, which is a fitting way to close out 2022. To make this unusual collaboration even more enjoyable, we used a variety of techniques, such as switching shots in rhythm with the dynamic jazz arrangement and placing the carefully integrated motorsport sounds on screen so they could be visually perceived.

“2025 Osaka–Kansai Expo Bid Plan” Mori Art Museum Exhibition In 2025, the proposed site plan for the Osaka–Kansai Expo bid activity centers on keywords such as “decentralization” and “dispersal” to embody a future society, expressing the constantly changing relationships among diverse individuals and groups that are unique to our time. At the same time, it is also a model for a next-generation urban structure, designed to accommodate the operation of new urban elements such as autonomous mobility, including self-driving vehicles, and AR/MR (augmented reality/mixed reality). In this exhibition, the various new initiatives and characteristics incorporated into the plan are reconfigured as one possible form of the future city. In the cities of the future, diverse users interact in complex and dispersed ways within digital space. There is the “physical world,” which we perceive as objects, and the “information world,” represented by the web, as well as a “common ground” that serves as the intermediary realm between them. This exhibition expresses the social implementation of common ground. Visitors can experience the perceptual gaps between humans and digital agents, as well as our relationship with a world on an urban scale that cannot be perceived by humans.
