A wide-ranging collection of 16 animated music videos and short-form projects has debuted on YouTube, highlighting the intersection of J-pop, Vocaloid culture, and independent animation.
Musician Eve features prominently in this update. We're Still Underground and Otogi accompany his album releases, while Literary Nonsense, As You Like It, Sister, and Demon Dance Tokyo showcase his signature collaborations with animators Mah, Waboku, and Avogado6. Additional Memory provides a narrative look at the character Ayano Tateyama, while Aishiteru (2010) presents a collaborative visual effort by Kouki Tange and YELLOW BRAIN.
The update includes the music videos for Lilac and Hollowness by Minami. The Vocaloid and independent scene is further represented by Orangestar's Clear Weather, animated by Waboku, and Loin's Haita.
Rounding out the list are Kano’s single Daisy Blue, the Irodorimidori franchise track Fire me up, the instrumental-led Sun by the band tio, and the augmented reality idol performance It's Show Time! by the group ARP.
