At the end of September, I visited my grandma and my dad living in Mie prefecture, the countryside of Japan, for the first time since I had moved back to Tokyo. Here’s a cozy vlog documenting me spending a week with grandma.

They did this again this year… holiday commercials are one of my favorite projects to work on… seriously please do not ruin that with AI!!!
Coca-Cola's annual Christmas commercial is AI-generated again
The company used even fewer people to make it this year
“We need to keep moving forward and pushing the envelope … The genie is out of the bottle, and you’re not going to put it back in"

I recently visited Jimbocho, the world’s coolest neighborhood in 2025, according to Timeout. A couple of the process clips for #peachtober25 are included in the full video!
On a side note, I just turned 35 yesterday. Ugh I’m getting old😅

I had the great pleasure of visiting an international School in Tokyo last month with Holly, the author of Listening to Trees, to give a presentation. It was definitely overwhelming at first, but, as time went by, I actually really enjoyed being in a presence of their energy and curiosity!

When I was in elementary school, my friends and I would find fallen leaves on our way home and put them in a ditch with running water, and we’d have fun having them race like this(obviously not with snails on them lol)

The only things I came up for the prompt were either donuts or this Japanese snack that we all ate and played with, by putting it on our fingers. I totally forgot the name of it though…
