Fourteen different directors, each one given 40 seconds of Utada Hikaru and told to break the format. The animation isn't here to serve the music, it's having its own conversation with it, frame by frame. You're watching Studio 4c's heavyweights burn through ideas that would take other studios entire episodes to develop, and every single one lands differently because they had to.
Fourteen short music videos accompany Utada Hikaru's album "Exodus". Ten directors share the work: Daisuke Nakayama, Yasuhiro Aoki, Koji Morimoto, Atsuko Fukushima, Hideki Himura, Tatsuyuki Tanaka, Jiro Kanai, Kazuto Nakazawa, Yoshiharu Ashino and Hiroyuki Kitakubo. The result is a collection of brief animated clips set to the album's music.
