Description: As a collaboration song for “EVOL,” a popular title in Monthly Comic Beam, Tatsuya Kitani wrote this song специально for the project. The streaming jacket also features original artwork of the “EVOL” characters drawn by Atsushi Kaneko, and the music video is based on the world of “EVOL,” with many newly drawn illustrations by Kaneko appearing throughout. The song title is also presented as word art by Atsushi Kaneko, and even Tatsuya Kitani’s logo was newly drawn by Kaneko, making this a deeply immersive, all-around collaboration.

Conceptualized around LGBT, I made it with a slightly detached perspective so as not to intrude too much into their world. To avoid the theme coming across too strongly, I created it as a music video that follows the process in a watchful, observant way.

星をつかむ手をテーマに、女性の生きづらさからの開放。人の内から剥き出すように手の群れが出現して羽になる。それが狂気に見えるように工夫しました。

酔っ払いの目線を歪ませる要素を入れてダウナーに。曲がかっこいいので、そこにセクシーさや美しさを入れてイメージを底上げ。顔の華の彩度をあげることで鬱々しい世界観の中での美しさを際立たせる。そうすると思った以上に破滅的な印象に仕上がりました。
