This movie looks back on the earth from its birth to the present, and thinks about the human age “Anthropocene”. In the movie submitted, you can see the Japanese rap version (original) and subsequent narrated version in English .
The story starts from the beginning of the earth, and depicts the evolution of life, and the human age. The hypothesis that the earth is building a new geological era, "Anthropocene," is the inspiration for the work. This content is a collaboration between artists and researchers of the earth and evolutionary biology.

Japanese rapper Tamaki Roy and Indian “tabla” percussionst U-zhaan made the music. The lyric chews scientific knowledge, and the beats with oriental sounds are exquisitely intertwined.
Please see the attached concept sheet.
