Case Introduction, Client Feedback

Internal event

Internal Corporate Event – Annual Gathering

Client: Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation

Performance Details:

Fusion of Videos and LED Yo-Yo: “Illuminate the World,” with Customized Visuals.

Event Context & Approach:

At an annual gathering of over 200 suppliers, the event challenges were:

- Providing a refreshing break during a long program
- Reinforcing the event’s central theme

We customized the background visuals to depict “the light created by teamwork and technology merging into the truck’s headlights.” Top management found this concept both innovative and highly engaging.

Client Feedback:

Shin Manindarpal, Director of Purchasing Management Department

“The visual impact was outstanding, yet refined, and above all, it perfectly communicated our event’s theme.

This performance goes beyond mere entertainment—it truly supports our message delivery in a remarkable way.”

TED

Industry Event – TED conference

Client: TED Conferences, LLC.

Performance Details:

Motivational talk in English and the Japanese-themed act “Yo-Yo Samurai”.

Event Context & Approach:

Though BLACK passed an audition by the performance only, he was asked as “Could you talk about the story behind your remarkable performance?” by TED.

His sharing the journey of growth alongside the show itself struck a powerful chord—resulting in over 15 million views on the video.

Client Feedback:

Chris Anderson, Curator, TED

"BLACK is not just an extraordinarily talented performer, but also has an inspiring personal story.

His appearance at TED2013 won a standing ovation and created a big hit online."

Public Show – Cirque du Soleil

Client: Cirque du Soleil Inc.

Performance Details:

Performed the custom act in a globally acclaimed circus show.

Event Context & Approach:

In addition to performing as an artist who skillfully manipulates props at high speed, he was also asked to portray the pivotal role of “a Master of Time.”

By incorporating clock-hand-inspired moves and expressions befitting a “Master,” the performance strengthened the show’s overall message and earned high praise from both the director and the audience.

Client Feedback:

Michel Laprise, creative guide

"We were very happy to have BLACK as our first ever artist performing the art of Yo-Yo on one of our stages, in the touring show Kurios-Cabinet of Curiosities.

His speed, stage presence, expression touched the souls of the spectators and was one of the highlights of the show."
