dance? #dance DANCE!

2023.09.05

The focus of Hanatsubaki's 2023 Edition (No.831) is "OUR ENERGY." Energy serves as the vital life force that fuels our existence. In recent introspective times, some of us have replenished our energy reserves, while others have discovered new sources of vitality. Much like budding plants herald the arrival of spring, we too should relish the moments we've long awaited. Why not liberate the pent-up energy within you? Doing so will inevitably link to your own distinct sense of beauty.

Our headline feature, "dance? #dance DANCE!," showcases the dynamic expressions of energy through the performances of rising actor Itsuki Nagasawa and a variety of dancers. Allow yourself to be drawn into an intriguing and slightly surreal narrative, as if you've stumbled into a fantastical realm of dance.

The visual artistry is the work of Toki, a photographer duo garnering recognition for their creative flair. In the introductory special video, their imaginative universe is enriched by the pulsating rhythms of Shokuhin Matsuri's music, and further illustrated by Yoshikai Nao, a film director and dancer.

Stay tuned for a forthcoming interview that delves into Toki's unique perspective on capturing energy for this feature!
