An outline of Soulmates Graphica:
All three members of the unit that put together this Web site presentation based on the "soul" image, are at the same time - a DJ, a designer and a programmer. Using Shockwave in the page "design motion" and with movement as the theme, the have put together five movie presentations. "DJ battle field" is a standard BBS (bulletin board) however, after entering the song title, artists name and reason for selection, the communication page starts at the selected song. It was chosen as the "Shocked site of the day" by Macromedia on August 20th in 1998, and has received reaction from overseas sites to which it has been introduced. HotWired Japan also introduces here its click art (A). In these presentations, attention has been paid to the reduction of data required by talking care to minimize the background colors.

A voice of Yuji Suzuki (when Soulmates Graphica's Web site received the bronze prize in "The Web Design Annual 1999"):
Great! I honestly feel that there are much better sites around than ours. It's like, were you all too busy and didn't know about the contest? In fact, this site is like an extension of a hobby for us. Well, originally, and of course now too! Each member of our team has different jobs, but we are all connected by the Web is all about, isn't it? We never think about changing something or talking orders. We are a purely non-profit organization. It's the same kind of values that go into making music. We have an idea, decide on a concept, and express it as a design. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call us a band. I certainly hope that we can continue to approach it in this casual way in the future. Casually that is. [Yuji Suzuki, Soulmates Graphica]
