Puri-city is an animated music film capturing the future when two symmetric worlds -virtual and reality- become co-presence reciprocally. In 2049, Shibuya, in Tokyo, Japan, female adolescent Japanese groups, so-called JK, enjoy integrating those two different worlds while “decorating” the city, cars, and even themselves with unique ornaments and costumes. The virtual and real worlds are bridged by the mechanized photo booth called Purikura. In this film, by remodeling the Purikura into a more advanced futuristic design, Purikura emerged as one of the strongest communication tools widely used among JK. A new Purikura will preoccupy the JK users and take place major SNS applications currently favored by JK such as Instagram or Snapchat. JK users, by using the Purikura, can physically transport to wherever their friends are. When transported, users can start decorating the whole city of Shibuya.

I also remodeled the Purikura into a more advanced and futuristic design for Puri City, animated music film. Puri Puri hovers in the city and has a propeller inside their ears. Puri Puri, using its function, allows users to decorate their bodies and add special effects to the city and cars and so on. Puri Puri can extend their wings and scan a girl's body. The backside of the wings have a camera which can scan 360°. Puri Puri also can offer the high resolution Argument Reality. e.

I designed a new kind of Interface for Puri City which is animated music film. I designed Puri Lens for AR and Puri Gear, globe for VR. That design shows cuteness. The design of the interface bases on Purikura, The girls can select their effect, fashion, and Makeup throughout the interface.

I designed the digital clothing for Puri City, which is animated fashion film. I devoted myself to designing all fashion items not only for those extraordinary ones found in augmented reality but also normal everyday’s clothes. I deliberately introduced various fashion items such as raincoat, umbrella, rain boots, and knapsacks to introduce the great capability that the Puri Pri has. Though each item listed above has different shape, texture, and function all items can be decollated by users thr
