Inspired by the song of the same title produced by Cuushe.
An examinee receives medication every day from a nurse in a hospital where mysterious biological experiments are being conducted. One day, the nurse presses a switch and the examinee transforms into a chimera. What kind of a scene will be created when they continue to have human desires even though they have become something other than human? And what kind of change will it bring to the relationship between the nurse and the examinee?

“Parade”, which French composer Erik Satie started composing at the age of 50, is a a piece of ballet music that the poet Apollinaire first introduced with the word “surrealism”. The ballet, which premiered in 1917, was performed with three managers and four performers gathering in front of the circus tent.
YAMAMURA Koji tried to reproduce this stage which was made 100 years ago with a text from Satie’s essay, as a surrealistic ballet video along with the performance of Willem Breuker Orchestra.
In addition to the characters who appeared in the original ballet, Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, and Erik Satie, who created this ballet, also appeared, and they were in charge of the eccentric titles and music of the work. Many of his works were inspired by arts such as René Clair’s movie “Entr’Acte”, Man Ray and Picabia, who had a close relationship with Sati.
The work was completed in 2016 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Satie’s birth and the 100th anniversary of the composition of “Parade.”

This work was created as a music video for the song ShalaBonBon by Bonno Shimizu. Birds, flowers, people, and other living things appear one after another, set to a light acoustic sound plus the catchy phrase, “shalabonbon”. The noise-processed effect, which is vivid and fluorescent, was achieved by filming a 2D animation played on a CRT TV.

With a fast-paced sound and a high-pitched singing voice, this work depicts the recollections and consequences of a girl who says goodbye to her friends and the past, and leaves for space alone. The girl changes from her normal clothes into a spacesuit-like outfit and the animation unfolds one scene after another, with the girl singing into a microphone, riding a surfboard through space, and dancing to the beat. Strange creatures, desolate places, and characters that look like an ancient language highlight a pop-themed yet still quite decadent view of the world. Rather than following a single storyline, the music is prioritized in the work, which increases its appeal and evocativeness.

“Canaria” is a 360-degree, hand-drawn VR animation by YUHARA Kazuki, a student at the Department of Animation at Tokyo University of the Arts. It also serves as a music video for the song of the same name by Shugo Tokumaru, which is both experimental and pop. The video, which took over six months to create, is based on the theme of a canary’s encounter with the world. It is a colorful, meticulously hand-drawn 360-degree animation that can be experienced using VR goggles, an omnidirectional screen, a computer, or a smartphone. In this virtual space, viewers are encouraged to immerse themselves in the magnificent worldview. The piece is an attempt to redefine music videos from something to be viewed to something to be experienced.
