The music video was directed by Gitaisuru Meta (MimicryMeta), a video production unit consisting of animator/illustrator Nike Shimaguchi and filmmaker Bivi, as their second collaboration work with TOOBOE. The unit previously created the music video for TOOBOE’S major single “Shinzou” released in April 2022.

 

It tells a love-hate drama about people who confuse sex and love. The song’s appeal is expressed decadently and violently by showing human cruelty in a comical manner. In order to accentuate the ridiculous atmosphere, the clip was edited using a variety of materials, including AI-drawn illustrations, computer graphics, and live-action images, in addition to hand-drawing illustrations.

 

The comments from TOOBOE writes, “For this major milestone, the ending theme song for a popular anime, I asked Mr. Gitaisuru Meta, who helped me with my major debut “Shinzou,” to produce the video again. I think that watching the music video will create a different interpretation of the song.”
