Photograph of a steel and foam structure in a studio — 'Work in progress (transition from jotter to studio); the internal costume structure to fit five Song members. I dream of the day it can be worn.'

Photograph of the artists hand opening a book of illustrations — 'I love looking at this manga book full of parading Yōkai beasts and spirits. They have a freedom none of us have.'
