菊地慎がsynonymで作曲した手弱女と何か別の品種を掛け合わせ新たな桜（作品）を生み出す過程の脳内のイメージ（試行錯誤の様子）をアウトプットしました。完成した楽曲 "Taoyame(synfilums rework)" を聴いてくれた人の想像力によって新たな桜の品種が完成することを願って作成されたアートワークです。アートワークは、Hahnemuhle の紙にジークレープリントされています。額と一緒に郵送されます。 

This artwork is an output of the mental imagery (the process of trial and error) behind taking 'Taoyame,' composed by Shin Kikuchi for the work synonym, and cross-breeding it with another variety to create a new cherry blossom (artwork). It was created in the hope that the imagination of those who listen to the completed track, 'Taoyame (synfilums rework),' will bring this new cherry blossom variety to completion. The artwork is a giclée print on Hahnemühle paper. It will be shipped framed.

Founder and head of the production company SCHOLE. While studying at university, Kikuchi co-founded the independent music label Schole Records alongside musician Akira Kosemura and filmmaker Yuma Saito. Ever since, he has consistently released works that integrate his visual practice—encompassing photography, film, design, and painting—with music.

While producing domestic and international artists and composing soundtracks for anime and films, Kikuchi launched synfilums in 2020—a collaborative project with pianist Itoko Toma—to explore new forms of expression deep within the realm of music production. Centered on the concept of "the inseparable fusion of music and artwork," the duo released synonym in 2025 and antonym in 2026.
