Based on the imagery evoked by the title and lyrics, as well as the band’s situation in 2024, we set the theme as “resonance and collision of wavelengths.” As reference points, we drew on Guillaume Apollinaire’s The Magician Who Decays and “Holography Hymn” from Tatsuhiko Shibusawa’s The Sun King and the Moon King to build the world of the piece. To bring the collage created on a flat surface into the real location, we produced the art direction as physical set pieces. With the band’s long-established formation having changed, while preserving the empty space at the center, we sought to honor the band’s intention, and we depicted the camera dolly moving side to side as literal gods of thunder and wind. We also used the set door to suggest that this place is connected to somewhere else. The cut tearing open into a transition likewise carried the intention of representing another place elsewhere.

Music video for Tatsuya Tachikawa’s “Ume Fuwari.” The warmth of the song is expressed through pencil animation.

Produced the music video for “After That,” a song that brought back Misora Hibari’s singing voice using VOCALOID:AI. Takeshi Kitano, Lily Franky, EXILE ATSUSHI, Rino Sashihara, Nijiro Murakami, and Sena Nakajima. With the thought that “After That” is not just a song to reminisce about the past, but a song for the future, we had people from different generations, from 72 years old to 13 years old, each living with their own distinctive perspectives and values, listen to the song, and portrayed their raw emotions and words in portrait form.

I was responsible for directing and producing the PV for the “Baki Strongest Scene Championship.”
