A live stream by Yoko Kanno, held with the hope of bridging the distance caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, much like the legend of Tanabata. Daito Manabe was in charge of the visual direction for ‘Inner Universe of rebirth.’ Using data from singer-songwriter Origa, who passed away on January 17, 2015, he revived her image as a point cloud, enabling a virtual performance with Kanno.
