In December 2024, EEPMON travelled to Beverly Hills to debut an original motion graphics installation at the 22nd Unforgettable Gala (UNFO). This premier black-tie event celebrates Asian and Pacific Islander trailblazers—including celebrities, influencers, and leaders—who have made profound contributions to arts, entertainment, and culture.

The motion graphics piece, which premiered during the 2024 UNFO, represents a world where high-energy motion and digital artistry collide. Overseeing the project from initial concept through to final video production, EEPMON developed a 4:30-minute cinematic backdrop specifically for the gala’s ultra-wide LED stage. To further elevate the atmosphere, a secondary large-scale installation on the West Wall provided a continuous ambient environment, fully immersing the audience in the evening’s performances.

This project was made possible through a collaboration with Andy Cheng, the Motion Arts Association, and the Bruce Lee Foundation, featuring a performance by Philip Sahagun and the Wushu K-Star Academy. Special thanks are extended to the UNFO production team, whose seamless stage coordination brought this vision to life.

EEPMON created an animated music video for Tokyo-based synthwave electronic unit Satellite Young. Titled “Sanfransokyo girl,” the track was written by Yoka Ohishi, vocalized by Emi Kusano and produced by Belle Maison Sekine. EEPMON created a digital city masterpiece that symbolizes the atmosphere of decorative sign boards reminiscent of the neon city lights of Tokyo, 80’s City Pop nostalgia with anime + electronic visualizations.

A nod to retro video games and sci-fi movies, “Sanfransokyo” is a fictional city like San Francisco and Tokyo combined. The two cities are indispensable for setting near future scenes and where dreams and imaginations can come to life! As Yuka Ohishi the lyricists describes it, “San Francisco and Tokyo are fun places, but it seems like everything is in momentary flux and that will not last forever.

At the same time of the MV debut, Satellite Young released several Sanfransokyo girl remixes available on iTunes and Spotify.
