Thinking of film often when Aokid dances. Today, he carries backpack with the sketchbook by walking around town to town; producing drawings and practicing dance at night and absorbed in thought. Going to Cinema Theater and reading books, reality and imagination have relatively synchronized or shifted．Aokid practices dance in order to balance out the situation to draw. Currently, he mainly works on Aokid City, which tackles few times per year. It is a project about making an exciting city by building own imaginative one with other people.
