[Text available only in English] Feature film『EROSION』trailer
◎INTRODUCTION
A previous shortfilm ”ENSEMBLE” made by the expression technique ”character’s emotion is expressed by the tone color that the musicians played” was screened in some international film festivals. So, we rebooted “ENSEMBLE” as a feature film in 2021. That is a feature film "EROSION". The feature film was shot in a virgin forest, whereas the short film was completed in a shooting studio. The content of the film was produced with major changes, including the costumes of the characters and the allegorical setting. The film stars Kaori Tsubaki, who has appeared in films directed by Makoto Tezuka, and Chika Arakawa (known for her appearances in Yoji Yamada's films). The supporting cast includes Shinichiro Osawa, known for his role as the producer of the film ”One Cut Of The Dead"; LILY, a TAP dancer who was introduced on NHK's information TV program "Gogo-Nama"; and NATA, a didgeridoo player invited from Tunisia to represent Japan. The production team includes Shojonotomo, a contemporary artist who has created stage costumes for Nicki Minaj, as costume designer; PHOTOGRAPHERHAL, an photographer who has exhibited widely in Paris, Belgium, and Taiwan, as director of photography; SLF!!, who has been highly acclaimed at Houston Asian Pacific American Festival acclaimed musician, as music director.
Directed by visual director TOOWA2, who has worked as a VJ (visual jockey) for BVLGARI, MASERATI, Esquire reception parties and overseas music events, this experimental feature film is an attempt to "fuse dramatic film and AUDIOVISUAL".
◎STORY
A tribe communicating by the sound lived in the forest. It requires good relationship with the "PLAYER" to communicate by tone. MIYABI and MIKA were treated coldly from KITE, the leader of the tribe because of not to handle "PLAYER" well. One day, KAROUJA comes to the forest. He knew a convenient way more than tone. MIYABI is influenced by his ability and she left with him. After that, MIKA could communicate with LUMINA, who played the most beautiful tones in the tribe. One day, MIYABI comes back to the forest. She could communicate without "PLAYER". MIYABI tries to spread this to the tribe. Gradually LUMINA and KITE become isolated in the tribe. Tribe people also begin to change, and they begin to disappear. MIYABI and her PLAYER left in the tribe set out again with it.
