Personal Project, 2025 | Semi-finalist, Next ILLUST Award 2025

Part of an ongoing love letter to Tokyo, this piece imagines the music and art that shaped me: like the same ones behind my Single Record Project, set loose above the city, drifting like planets past Tokyo Tower. It's a small collision of two things I keep returning to: the music that's followed me for over a decade, and a skyline that never stops feeling a little unreal, even after every visit.

Selected as a semi-finalist from over 1,200 worldwide entries in PIE International's Next ILLUST Award 2025, judged by illustrators Range Murata, Mai Yoneyama, and sakusya2.
