From the moment we are born, we experience joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and each of us lives a life that is full of originality...
[Todos somos calaveras
(We are all skeletons)
As the saying goes, we are all human beings with the same internal makeup, and no matter what kind of life we ​​lead, we will all ultimately become bones and return to nature. Therefore, I believe that learning from every event that happens to us can be a source of nourishment for life, and using what we have learned to enjoy the present in a good mood will lead to a better future.
And I want to be the kind of person who, when I reach the end of my life, can laugh and say, "That was a good life."

[Work concept]
Since ancient times, Japan has had animism and the belief that gods reside in all things, which has led to the fearsome existence of monsters and spirits.
We wanted to make this mysterious presence that possesses "things and people" into a pop, slightly playful and familiar presence, and so we created the character Pete, with his red nose and tongue sticking out.
He has a troublesome personality in that he becomes possessed as soon as he finds something he likes, and he plans to possess something and scare people.
So, what will it possess (or "turn on") next?
Before you know it, Pete may be possessing something close to you.
