AIgejkijo 2025 AI FILM FESTIVAL This work was screened at the Akihabara UDX Theater. Synopsis | The protagonist, who lived in a black-and-white world, suddenly encounters a colorful, mysterious creature one day. The moment they touch hands, the world before the protagonist changes all at once. Even if you keep repeating the same life, you never know what tomorrow will bring. This is the story’s underlying theme.

A 360-degree, all-encompassing visual experience. Watch fireworks, a beloved symbol of Japanese summer, beyond the seasons, as if gazing up at a star-filled sky. The first full-dome educational film in the fireworks industry, conveying the history and techniques of fireworks accumulated over more than 400 years since the Edo period. Centered on the protagonist Hibana, the story of fireworks is unraveled through live-action footage and CG animation. In addition to Japan’s representative fireworks displays, the live-action footage of cutting-edge show fireworks designed for full-sphere imagery, with 5,000 shells launched from all 360 degrees, captures the perspective from “directly beneath the fireworks,” a place no one except fireworks artisans may ever enter for safety reasons, enabling an entirely new visual experience. Official selection, the 12th Ebisu International Festival for Art & Alternative Visions.

Using as many varied techniques as possible, including 8mm film, puppet animation, and 3DCG, I created this work while channeling its musical ideas into the atmosphere of interwar Europe. I designed the music video with the interpretation that it is about dreams, and about how one faces and keeps one’s distance from the people and world around them.
