We collaborated with the art agency HERALBONY to create the animation “Kurikaeshi no Uta by ROUTINE RECORDS,” featured in the new segment of NHK E-Tele’s children’s program “Aokiiro.”
“Blue” (Ao) and “Yellow” (Kiiro) are distinct colors, but when they overlap, they become the same “Green.” “Aokiiro” is a TV show that nurtures a “symbiotic mindset,” where various lives resonate with each other, sharing joy, supporting one another, and living together.
In “Kurikaeshi (repetitive) no Uta (song) by ROUTINE RECORDS,” the animation and music express the “inner landscapes” of individuals with cognitive disabilities, drawing inspiration from the seemingly peculiar, repetitive actions (routines) they perform. We also produced a music video version of “Kurikaeshi no Uta,” which combines the stories of four artists contracted by HERALBONY into one song.
