JRA: Japan Horse Racing Association

 
 
 

Evoke ancient scenery of human and horses.

As the JRA, Japan Horse Racing Association needed to get the attention of younger audiences, we created a new music video collaborating with Wednesday Campanella, one of the famous and beloved Japanese artists among young generations.

A new song, 'Run Melos’, is a story about the greatness of keeping running with believing in something, which is the core emotional value why so many people are fascinated with horse racing.

In the music video, we showcase an overwhelming ancient scenery of humans and horses running the boundless field of earth together and capture their emotional connection and relationship of trust. To give an authentic look and feel to this film, we had the shooting in Mongolia, where they still live together, with a hundred horses and children.
