Recently I have re-organized my old works and added to my website as a series called "rainland".
these are mostly photographed while I went to school in Seattle from 1999~2001. some are taken after I got back to japan and around 2001~2002. they are mostly shot with B&W film with my lovely Nikon, or with the Canon I brought from Japan before I lost it..
I am still looking through huge rolls of my photos from the past so I might add some more to this project later..

昔の作品をまとめ直してホームページに載せました。タイトルはrainland。ほとんどがシアトルに留学していた1999年から2001年の間に撮ったもの、それから帰国してしばらくの間に撮ったものです。そしてほとんどが私の愛機Nikonで撮った白黒、それか無くしてしまう前のCanonのカメラで..。
まだ、膨大な？量の過去の写真を見直しているので、後で追加することがあるかもしれないです。

Back in Japan from New York

2011-09-24T13:15:00.008-04:00

I just finished 3years of staying in New York and got back in my home,Japan.
I will be based in Tokyo at least for a while. I am very excited about the new life here as I have a lot that I brought within me from my experiences in New York. Sure my way of seeing life and life in Japan would be different from three years ago. these years, I have been very interested in the culture and history of my own country, old and new, and looking forward to be inspired,discover and understand more.

Music Video

I directed a music video. I worked with Robin's egg blue, a Japanese band based in New York.
It's a fun and challenging experience collaborating with other artists. now the video is on post production,
It will be posted in August!! I think this one will come out earlier than my personal video project,"let go and sleep", which I mentioned in my last post on this blog.

It's so hot everyday in New York but right now it's a thunderstorm.
rain is my favorite weather as well as beautiful sunny day!

ミュージックビデオの演出をしました。ニューヨークで活動中のRobin's egg blueというバンドの曲です。今、編集作業中です。他のアーティストとコラボレーションするのは、色々楽しくもあり、いろんな意味で今までの自分だけのやり方から出て行く挑戦でもありますね。８月中に完成予定です。前のポストで"let go and sleep"という作品を編集中といいましたが、このミュージックビデオの方が先に仕上がりそうです。

ニューヨークは毎日暑いですが、今は雷です。雨は晴れと同じ位好きな天気なので、喜んでます。

New Video project

2011-03-01T00:30:00.009-05:00

I have been working on a new video project. The tentative title for this is "let go and sleep". The main theme on this project is about letting go of the childhood memories to move on. The movie goes along with a boy and a girl who grew up together, who shares a little secret from the childhood. They realize that to move on with their lives, they need to let go of it. I first started out this project as still photography last summer. After several photo shooting session, I looked at the photographs and thought, these should better be video,since my concept on this project was rather narrative. Then I developed the storyboard and started shooting as a video project. I'm done with most of the shooting and getting into post-production. I am looking forward to finishing all the production and showing this soon.
