This brand movie expresses the concept of PIVOT, the business media platform, “knowledge you can put into action.” Featuring past appearances alongside powerful messages, it presents them graphically through motion graphics. With an emphasis on an intelligent, sophisticated design, it creates a sense of rhythm in the unfolding visuals through dynamic direction and camera work, resulting in a compelling video that conveys energy and passion.

A collaborative video work by butoh dancer Kana Kitty and filmmaker Takeshi Taniguchi Kana Kitty Butoh dancer / actress / Shinsō C-ku Graduated from the Department of Art, Aoyama Gakuin Women’s Junior College. While enrolled, she encountered butoh because the figure drawing model in a nude drawing class was a dark butoh dancer. She places her body between this world and the other side, dancing to naturally arising rhythms such as breathing and heartbeat. With no teacher, she began dancing on her own and continues to explore her own movements. She actively collaborates with visual artists and musicians, and has participated in art festivals in Japan and abroad. In recent years, she has traveled to France, Switzerland, Iceland, Bangladesh, Nepal, Vietnam, and South Korea. She is also exploring the possibilities of “Butoh Painting,” an original performance by Kana Kitty that combines paint and bodily expression. She continues the space-experimental performance project “k.a.n.a’s wonder world,” in which guest artists confront the space created through Butoh Painting. Her music video “Kōfuku Sensō” featuring Atsuhiko Nakata of Oriental Radio drew media attention. She is also active as an actress in TV, film, and other works. In 2019, she appeared in the film Ossan’s Love: Love or Dead.
