AiNA THE END, who delivered major hits including "On The Way", the opening theme song for the anime DAN DA DAN, presented her one-man live "nukariari".
The title plays on the Japanese phrase "nukari nai," meaning "flawless," while flipping it into "nukari ari," meaning "with imperfections," turning the phrase itself into the show's thesis.
Built on the theme of accepting the self that is not perfect, the show moved between two inner voices: the pressure to live as a "flawless" version of yourself, and the relief of admitting you are allowed to be imperfect. We led the overall show design and direction, including set and lighting design. We also produced a story-driven opening film and interlude content centered on the "ari" (ant) motif, along with LED visuals for eight songs.
