21commuters are concerned, it was decided that five filmmakers would be given carte blanche to contribute their own film. The only theme they were set was a “journey through space and time.”Mr. Moriuchi and Mr. Suzawa based the selection of the artists themselves on the following criteria: “someone who can put their own hallmark on the work" and "someone who can not only direct but also create a film themselves and adapt to sudden changes in circum-stances.” They selected Mr. Isao Nishigori (SMALT), Mr. Masatsugu Nagasoe (NEW), TAKCOM (P.I.C.S.), Mr. Takumi Shiga (caviar), and Mr. Yuki Hariu (P.I.C.S.).Based on the ideas contributed by these five men, Mr. Moriuchi took charge of overall direction until the five works were completed, but this was not the end of the job. There was still the major task of putting the five works together into one coherent film.“It’s an event so of course it’s necessary to provide some excitement. It’s not the same as watching a film in a device. Because it’s experienced spatially, it’s kind of like the theater. Using musicals as a reference, we thought the event should have a beginning, middle and end. We also applied this to the music.”Mr. Moriuchi believed that the power of music was needed to put the five works together. Mr. Taisei Iwasaki who has excelled as a movie score composer for movies such as “Moteki” was chosen to be the music director. The spatial film, “TOKYO STATION VISION”, was therefore completed with sound effects.Looking back at the project, Mr. Moriuchi speaks as follows.“Projection mapping, in a word, is really difficult. If it is done just as a visual gimmick, then it’s nothing more than a show. Personally speaking, I want to focus more on the fusion of technology and culture. Combining historic buildings and regional culture with projection mapping allows people to become more familiar with and to rediscover their local area. I hope that such rebranding will contribute to regional revitalization in the future.”
