Powder "New Tribe"
New Tribe was created as a music video for Powder, a Tokyo based dance music producer and DJ. This video is supposedly based on her life story as a double-life individual : corporate employee in day, working musician at night —, and the video focuses on the exact moment when she is sitting in the office chair melancholically, trying to make up her mind to ‘continue’ or ‘quit’ her job, holding the pre-made resignation letter. The scenery zooms into her mind and visualizes the process of her decision-making as an imaginary fish market, handling freshly caught fishes along with numerous amounts of resignation letter been separated professionally to where it should go.

4:3
Separate projections combine, unifying, becoming whole. Twelve animated projections combine to develop a rhythmic dialogue exploring the intrinsic relationship between sound and image using 16mm film, paint and a projector. Responding to a hand-drawn soundtrack, each projection is individually created by painting and scratching directly on 16mm film stock. 4:3 is available as a short film, an immersive installation, and in virtual reality.

Perennial Stream
Perennial Stream is a portrayal of growth and decay. It is done on a single sheet of paper. Graphite marks are drawn, erased, then re-drawn, leaving behind a map of remains. A single, drawn line acts as a seed, which then propagates into larger forms, gathering to create a cyclic flow of movement and stillness within an abstracted ecosystem.

A Year Along the Geostationary Orbit
One year through the distant eyes of meteorological satellite Himawari-8 – a hypnotic stream of Earth's beauty, fragility and disasters. 35786 km above Earth, travelling at more than 11000 km/h, Himawari-8, Japan's most advanced meteorological satellite, observes the Eastern Hemisphere day and night. For one year we look through the eyes of the distant observer. From solstice to solstice, from pole to pole, from storm to storm we watch Earth's beauty and fragility, weather's wonders, forces and disasters - from space, it all looks miraculous. Imagery created and animated by the filmmaker based on scientific observation data: Irradiation scans by the meteorological satellite Himawari-8. Numerical measurement data provided by JMA / BoM / NCI. Sound composed by mixing samples algorithmically based on video image content.
