This music video portrays the protagonist’s struggle and recovery as a “choral member who has lost the joy of singing,” layering it with motifs of flowers and butterflies. The shifting color of the soothing herbal tea “butterfly pea,” which changes from blue to purple, symbolizes the members’ bond and the trigger for renewal, while the overlap between center Yunana Shibata’s member color and Nogizaka46’s signature color reflects a gradient of the heart moving from tension toward release. Butterflies resting their wings before taking flight once more. Inspired by that motif, flower petals rendered in CG drift upward from below to above, symbolically coloring the dance scenes. By singing together with companions, the work delicately depicts the rising emotions that break free from confinement and the shared energy that fills a single space.

We created the music video for ano feat. Ikuta Lilas’ “Zetzetzetzettai Seiiki.”

To convey a lot of information in a short format, I structured it with split screens, which are more readily accepted in today's era.

A story with no dialogue. A project made possible because of two outstanding actors.
