The day after the zombie man lost something important.

When listening to “Hada no Yume” as a song, I felt my chest tighten with a deep ache, as if something within the hearts of the living were drifting to the surface, in a film where death and life quietly coexist and seep into one another. Through the MV, which I was invited to make after Director Horigimoto saw my work Honekami, I wanted to depict the nature of Shikoku and Kochi with tactile detail, and create an image that was not a line-by-line visual translation of the poem. What is “Hada no Yume”? The innocent, soft sense of reassurance in which one can remain unaware even of being “naked” is just like the feeling of those left behind, warmed by thoughts of the person they love. I wanted, in my own way as an MV, to weave into it the director’s feelings for the film, as well as the gentleness of the light that binds the false image and the real one, through the life and death close to me, and through flowers and the seasons. Lost lives do not return, and the living can only continue to remember. I created this piece while thinking of the mother in the film Hada no Yume, and of Yume. https://honamiyano.com/works/

This music video was produced for “Follow Your Heart & Music Presented by RECRUIT,” a project in which Recruit collaborates with up-and-coming artists to support young people taking their own first steps through the power of music. It was created in collaboration with Miyuna herself, serving as co-director. All of the live-action insert footage that appears in the music video was shot by Miyuna.

神は完璧で知性的な存在だと思っていた。
 世界には見えない計算があって、人生の出来事には全部“意味”があるのだと。 しかし、よく観察すると、人間の人生は驚くほど「ランダムよりもさらにランダム」だ。
 もし神が本当に知性的なら、説明がつくことがもっと多いはず。
 だとしたら、世界はもっとゆるく、適当に揺れているだけなんじゃないかと最近思う。 そして、その“適当さ”に気づくと少し気が楽になる。 神が完璧じゃないなら、人間だって完璧じゃなくていい。 世界はもっと、想定外のことで溢れているのかもしれない。
