In the music video for Masayoshi Oishi's song "L'oN," produced by Mimicry Meta, a brilliant gimmick is used where every single Kanji character in the first verse's lyrics transforms into the second verse's lyrics when flipped. This work showcases a luxurious collection of pieces from artists known for their superb typographic ambigrams.
