Absolutely breathtaking. I've always loved the works from both Yuusuke Nakamura and Asian Kung-Fu Generation and love whenever we get to see an animated collaboration. Seeing different directors playing around with Nakamura's distinct art style is a treat to behold. While it doesn't strive to change the world, the small and self-contained energy it possess makes it worth sharing and worth discussing. Its vibrant colors and Nakamura's visual signifiers of vibrant colors sitting alone alongside empty white space as well as his integrations of animals and human characters make the visuals interesting and let you know exactly who he is as an artist. Since something as simple andshort as a music video doesn't exactly require a review as most people who come across this page will likely look at the score to decide if the video is worth 5 minutes of their time or not. However, I believe that short things like this are worth remembering and worth discussing as art. Regardless of ambition, this is a rare animated work coming from excellent creators and I wish that there was more of it.
Great song, great video, easy watch.
