Penkin has continued to collaborate with Uematsu in titles such as Norn9 and Defender’s Quest II: Mists of Ruin. In 2015, Penkin graduated from the Royal College of Music with a Master's degree in Composition for Screen. In 2016, Penkin collaborated with Kinema Citrus on the Norn9 anime and the Under the Dog original video animation soundtracks.

In 2018, Penkin composed the score for the video game Florence. Penkin composed the music for Kinema Citrus' adaptation of The Rising of the Shield Hero and NetEase's VR game Nostos in 2019.

Black is a boy who dreams of becoming the Pokemon League's Champion. In fact, it's such an important dream to him that it's all he ever thinks about! Naturally, he's all too eager to start on his own journey alongside his childhood friends Cheren and Bianca, but soon his path intertwines with White, the president of a talent agency for Pokemon actors, and N Harmonia, the enigmatic king of Pokemon liberation group Team Plasma, and he soon finds that things in life aren't as "black and white" as they seem... Then, two years after his adventures, we follow two Trainers' School students named Lack-Two and Whi-Two. They may seem like ordinary kids, but Lack-Two is actually an undercover agent for the International Police, and Whi-Two is a former member of Team Plasma struggling to find her way in civilian life. Together, the two of them investigate Team Plasma's resurgence and the truth of what happened to Black two years ago. ║ Fancast for an anime adaptation of Pokemon Adventures/Pokemon Special.
