Application software

TANIKAWA Shuntaro / HIROSE Gen / HARADA Ikuko / tocco [Japan]

Outline

Based on the long-selling picture book Mari, this application integrates narration and background music by HARADA Ikuko (a member of the band Clammbon) with the original text by TANIKAWA Shuntaro and pictures by HIROSE Gen. The work combines the pleasure of listening with the pleasure of moving a physics-engine simulation of the main character. Regardless of their age, everyone can enjoy the sounds and tactile sensations of Mari.
