Forro of Tokyo
Music video of Kiwi & The PapayaMangoes “Forro in Tokyo”. This video depicts Tokyo rising from a burnt field after the war and what has lived there. To visualize such a flow of time, I realized the physical effect on live-action images (still images) by plane animation, which was rarely seen in various methodic challenges in “fusion of live-actions and animations”. I aimed for perversion.

Street Kamishibai Archives
Paper Slide Show is known as Kamishibai abroad because of its unique Japanese culture. Such Kamishibai paintings are hand-painted one-of-a-kind, and most of them have unknown rights. So secondary use is difficult. Meanwhile, I distributed the work of Koji Kata, known for his “Golden Bat”, free of charge as a “useful archive” where anyone can play Kamishibai anytime with an iPad.
Instant Kamishibai
A web application dedicated to an improvised Street Kamishibai that acquires images of children’s photos taken on the spot and images that the audience likes by using the image search API, and inserts them into templates to flexibly add traditional narratives. The concept was “a device that allows everyone to enjoy personal things using the Internet.” The image display algorithm was randomized to incorporate happenings.

Best Friends Forever
A short animation that aims to make the content of a single print club tangible with the imagination of the viewer. The innocence of the gal character was plausibly directed with a disturbing motif and a nursery rhyme. It is also an experimental video showing how one material can be pulled by stuffing a lot of presentation instead of stuffing many materials.
