It was produced by collaging animation from the Monogatari series with motion graphics, so that it would look fresh not only to YOASOBI fans but also to anime fans. The CG scenes were also created entirely as original footage.

The design, composed of animation data and lyrics, is packed with information even though each cut is short. Within the fast-paced editing, I carefully planned where to place priority when adding motion so that the lyrics, the characters’ emotions, and the roles they play would come across clearly. I also considered what should be moving to feel good at a moment’s glance.

It tells the story of Chimerios, or chimeras, born from the words spoken by humans through virtual communication such as social media. The seven Chimerios are characters personifying the days of the week: for example, Monday is gloomy because it comes right after the weekend, while Friday has a carefree, party-loving personality because it comes just before the break. While expressing the Chimerios’ terrifying yet adorable world, the music video depicts their desire to eat the words spoken by humans.

The story parts, created with hand-drawn animation, depict the mysterious Kymerios that devour words, along with the frightening side hidden beneath their adorable appearance. The cutout parts, assembled by taking the character pieces apart and turning them into digital stop-motion animation, highlight the Kymerios’ personality and charm. Composed of these two forms of expression, the video portrays the Kymerio’s dual nature.
