Fukushima Berlin 2 (2014 5 min)
The film shows distance between Fukushima and Berlin. There are two protagonists. The one speaks about private story in Japan about catastrophe, the other one speak with historical approaches from Berlin.

Mr.S&Doraemon (2012 15 min)
There is Japanese animation „Doraemon”. He is cat-robot and can realize the people’s dream with his special tools. This is the traditional and most popular Japanese animation. A experimental film(2008) was made up with only doraemon’s houses without him and his family. After the catastrophe by the TSUNAMI in Japan caused a new power plant’s explosion in Fukushima at 2011, One might imagine the town without inhabitant in Fukushima. Then director Hikaru remembered that he made the film with the only DORAEMON’s houses at 2008 which is os similar to the situation of Fukushima’s catastrophe. Because the inhabitants can’t live there any more. The town is like a ghost town. Otherwise, he felt that his usual life was so important. Because Tsunami suddenly lost so many people’s life. That’s why he shot his life every day like a diary after 11.03.11. Through it, he made up the film Mr.S & Doraemon at 2012.

Das Strahlen (2014 10 min)
The film was made after FUKUSHIMA BERLIN 2 had been made. A protagonist is a german women.
Pursuing a lizard, she traveled to Mexico and she falls in love with Mexican guy. The content is mixed of her life, the radiation in Japan and sunshine which is so important for people. This film is constructed by a variety of association.

God and Father and Me (2008 36 min)
This is Hikaru’s first documentary film. He always thought what kind of Job does his father have, since he was child. There was a lot of discussions in family with mom and sister about father. What about does he think? What does he do? He gets income as healer in religion. This is regarded not as so popular Job in Japan, but as like a little bit curious, strange and doubt Job for Japanese people. Because a lot of Japanese don’t believe in a definite religion and they mayn’t talk about their religion. It’s things like a taboo. There may be a border in Japanese society. If people go over the border, the people must say something bad. So, his father went onto mountain to become a god. Why? Hikaru must have made sure what does he do there? and live alone or not whatever…
