With more than 300 years of history, Tawara-ya Ryokan is one of the oldest inns in Kyoto. We had the honor of creating its official website.
Over the course of 12 months, we filmed scenes of the ryokan and its surroundings, and each time you visit the site, videos for that month plays at random.

THE TAWARAYA

We created the portal site for Mikura Island, a remote island in Tokyo with a population of about 300.

We created interactive signage content for "Q," the original character for the spherical vision system "LINQ VISION," which has been installed at three locations: JR Osaka Station, JR Kyoto Station, and JR Hiroshima Station. 

"Q" detects and communicates with people around it, and you can touch it in real time using your smartphone and give it presents.

For SUMMER SONIC 2022 TOKYO, held on August 20–21, 2022, we developed a visual sequencer using wall and floor displays at the entrance.
When visitors step into the LED floor area, each person is assigned the sound of an instrument, and an organic gradient appears beneath their feet. In time with the underlying background music, the assigned instruments keep the rhythm while gradients emerge and fade, offering an experience of becoming part of the music itself.

We created a message board signage content that allows users to leave messages as stickers from their smartphones on the spherical vision "LINQ VISION" installed at three locations: JR Osaka Station, JR Kyoto Station, and JR Hiroshima Station.

The posted content is linked across the three locations, so you can also send messages to other locations. In addition, special effects will occur in "Happy Birthday" and "Happy Anniversary" modes, where the text on all stickers will change to the content you entered for a certain period of time, and you will be celebrated with music.

We have built an AI-powered censorship system to safely manage user-generated content projected on signage in public places.


LINQ BOARD

We created a work in which motion graphics generated programmatically from musical performance data are displayed on a spherical screen. The visuals are composed solely of the movement and scaling of rectangular forms, yet a wide range of expressions is achieved simply by applying rotational transformations based on an equirectangular projection.


NOTES

Three-dimensional forms reveal an infinite variety of expressions depending on the angle from which they are observed. RAY is a work that gives form to these perspectives through shadows, transforming them into a time-based experience accompanied by sound.

On the occasion of its 17th anniversary, the design studio STARRYWORKS inc. redesigned its VI, various tools, and website.
For the VI, we drew inspiration from parametric design—a method of creating forms by defining algorithms and rules and adjusting parameters (variables)—and produced it by applying this parameter-driven design philosophy to graphic design.

STARRYWORKS

Together with Dentsu Lab Tokyo, STARRYWORKS inc. has launched "UNMUTE," a new sound design solution that integrates the expertise in interaction design and sound design that the two have cultivated through their collaborations to date.

UNMUTE aims to "unmute" a world that has paid little attention to sound, and—by actively harnessing sound as a medium—to design experiences that are more beautiful, vivid, and exciting.

UNMUTE

We created "snd.dev," a website that offers UI sound assets created by sound designers free of charge and license-free. We also developed a JavaScript library that makes it easy to embed these sound assets into websites and apps, along with the original typeface used on the site.

We created the website for "Nanoniwa," a new commercial facility in Naniwa-no-miya Park.
Using illustrations and animation, we expressed the lively atmosphere of people enjoying themselves, and—drawing on the site's historical character—created the feeling of traveling back in time from the present into the past. The main visual also changes to a nighttime scene depending on the time of day, conveying an atmosphere of the park that differs from daytime. Viewing the entire surrounding area as one large garden, we also developed a feature introducing the appealing people of the neighborhood, aiming to raise the value of the whole community.

We were in charge of creating "town," a brand website that summarizes the stories of towns and people along the Odakyu line. In order to intuitively convey the fact that the site is a story of towns and people, the focus shifts from towns (background) to people, and from people to towns.

We filmed an 8K promotional video showcasing Awaji Island for inbound tourism.

We produced the CI, website, logo motion, tools, and more for TRAILBLAZER Inc., a new JR West Group company established to secure and develop advanced digital talent.

The company name is embedded in the logo as binary data, so that engineers can "decode" it. The site's key visual expresses the mission of "taking on challenges from the future with all of JR West's digital assets," depicting railways and cities being transformed into data.

This was a project for our firm’s 7th year anniversary. The concept was “DANCE”, which goes beyond words, religion, culture, and age, and is one of the most ancient and instinctive activities. We opened a special and experiential exhibition with nine interactive works, which synchronized into one piece of music, using visual elements, lighting, and custom made input devices. The visitors could control the time axis of all of our works using a turntable that was playing the music inside the exhibition hall, and we also had visual works that attendants could participate in. For the invitation, we used an analog recorder. It was also the event’s main motif. We experimented with originally developed software, which controlled the sound waves and put graphics on the records.
