In October 2020, Celsys and Galaxy launched the Art on your Smartphone! New Normal Campaign to support those living in these new normal times with the power of art. The companies released a special movie each featuring Shoko Nakagawa and COWCOW’s illustration process. The companies made donations to the Japanese Red Cross Society in support of medical professions through the power of art, based on the number of times the movies were viewed.
Celsys, together with Shoko Nakagawa, a Clip Studio Paint user for 8 years and current official support of the app, released a video showing her illustration process. Galaxy also teamed up with COWCOW’s Yoshi and Kenji Tada, known as comedians who are talented artists, to create their own special movie featuring interviews with the pair and presenting their illustration process with the Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G.
Prior to the campaign, an event to commemorate the launch of the Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G was held at Galaxy Harajuku for the media. At the launch event, Celsys Marketing Director, Tetsuya Kobayashi, took to the stage to introduce Clip Studio Paint for Galaxy.
