London Bridge Is Falling Down

Just released "London Bridge Is Falling Down".

OBORO ZUKIYO

Oboro-zukiyo means a hazy moon night in spring.

Cat's Eye View series was first released in 1997, as a Macromedia Director movie on Macintosh platform. At that time, I was working as a teacher at a preparatory school for art university.  One day when I went to the office, I found a Macintosh Performa 575 was put at the corner of my room. It was my first encounter with the computer. Adobe Illustrator was pre-installed in it. Frankly, I had looked down on that machine as a tool for the artistic activity. But contrary to my expectations, I became immediately mad to draw my pictures on the computer.

My first computer drawing was a cat. Why a cat? Perhaps, I was impressed with a name "mouse". Because I drew it with a mouse only. And it became a prototype of Cat's Eye View series.  This time I added high resolution images, 16-bit original music written and peformed by ukeke.

HAKONE HACHIRI

Hakone is located on the Tōkaidō highway connecting Edo with Kyoto, which is known by Hakone checkpoint at the Edo period and known by a steep mountain trail. Hachiri means traveling about 30 kilometers. Hakone Hachiri was originally composed by Taki Rentaro (1879 - 1903) , a genius died at the age of 23. He left several famous pieces - such as Kojo no Tsuki, Hana and this one. This movie is an hommage to him.

Bride Doll

I've just released "Bride Doll -Hanayome Ningyou".



This sentimental music was composed by Sughiyama Haseo (1889 - 1952) on the basis of a poetry "Hanayome Ningyou (Bride Doll)" by Fukiya Koji (1898 - 1979) who was a painter and a poet. This movie is an hommage to them.

Just released "Mary Had a Little Lamb". A famous American children's song.
We hope you enjoy it.
