Collaboration track “bootleg wonderland” by virtual singer Madobe Rika and TORIENA
Planning and composition were handled by Toshitaka Shinoda.
The video direction was divided among the three of them—Toshitaka Shinoda, Yonayona graphics, and Natsuki Tatematsu—each taking on different cuts.
Shinoda conveyed the story concept to me, built around the imagery of Heisei-era internet horror and the deep web, connected with 9mm film footage shot in the mountains, and from there the cut concepts, imagery for each person’s assigned parts, and editing were all produced independently.
For the cuts I was in charge of, I aimed to create sequences in which countless elements rush by like a flashback, drawing on the pleasant distortions and the layering of innumerable sounds that I felt in the music, as well as the project’s imagery.
I also aimed to create cuts whose contrast with the live-action footage would remain as a sense of discomfort when placed side by side in the overall progression.
Rather than delicate, detailed effective movement, I focused on inserting a variety of rough, miscellaneous effects, and I created the illustrations myself to add subcultural imagery to the material’s variety.
