FUKUYAMA MASAHARU LIVE FILM Kotodama no Sakiwau Natsu @NIPPON BUDOKAN 2023

This music film blends a live concert performance at the Nippon Budokan with a cinematic narrative. The production integrates computer graphics and landscape footage from Nagasaki to explore a story involving the artist's past. Hinata Hiiragi appears in a central role as the childhood version of Hiromi Minami.

Masaharu Fukuyama directed the project, overseeing the visual and audio direction. This was the first of two films he directed, followed by a 2026 production set in Nagasaki. To capture the event, the production used over 40 cameras and employed drones inside the arena for the first time in the venue's history. The audio was developed using Dolby Atmos technology to achieve a specific sound quality. Produced by AMUSE, the film was released in Japan on January 12, 2024.
