The uncut, uncredited opening video of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " starring Mio Imada (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 AM and others) was released on the program's official website and official SNS accounts on April 4th.
The video dynamically depicts Imada running through a turbulent era with colorful and dynamic VFX, set to the theme song "Tamamono" written by rock band "RADWIMPS" for this work, and is accompanied by lyrics captions. The video was produced by VFX artist and video director Rei Wakui, who has been selected for the "100 Filmmakers" award for three consecutive years since 2022.
RADWIMPS' "Sageimono" will be available digitally from April 18th.
◇Comment from title sequence creator, Rei Wakui
Takashi Yanase and his wife Nobu. The two met and lived through a turbulent era together, which is why they created so many masterpieces. Their works do not remain in the past, but are loved by children today as well, transcending time. The life that produced these immortal works is depicted in a film that continues from the past to the present and into the future.
Yanase is famous for "Anpanman," but he has many other works. His dream-filled, vividly colored paintings inspire and encourage the viewer.
Mio Imada, who appears not as "Nobu" but in her modern appearance, is a representative of the viewers and a guide to the world that the two created and colored with their colors. I hope you will enjoy the drama.
