• Immersive Museum Vol.2 : ポスト印象派 / Post Impressionism Bruce Ikeda standing as music director, Immersive Museum Vol.2 started on July 7th, Friday, at Nihonbashi Mitsui Hall in Tokyo. Following last year’s Vol.1 “IMPRESSIONISM” with over 2 hundred thousand people visiting and being a huge box-office success, this year’s theme is “Post Impressionism” featuring painters such as Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cezanne, etc. We used the newest video production methods to remix into a modernized style the works, techniques, and creative process of the post impressionist artists. Gaining inspiration from the impactful expressions of the artists, both music and imagery of the immersive content has become even more aggressively cutting-edge than that of last year. The soundtrack was produced by the collaboration of Midori Hirano, Kuniyuki Takahashi, and Yoshiteru Himuro, and having-been created under the concept of an “unpredictable approach”, its quality has surely surpassed the first. As the amazing sound tightly comes in sync with the powerful visuals projected onto the 6m high wall of the
  700㎡ wide space, the story we’ve all been waiting for begins to unfold. A must see for sure.
