Produced by Masahiro Araki (Remigai/Fredricson/Kaho Nakamura Band), the music video for "Blue," the lead track from CRUNCH's debut—and definitive—album, Tenkiame, by Nagoya three-piece girl band CRUNCH. This music video, which seems to drift through suspended time, uses water, photographs, and dolls to portray the members' feelings and the poetic atmosphere that permeates the song. ---------- CRUNCH "Blue" Lyrics I keep searching because no matter how long I live, it will never be filled. The deeper I look, the more it feels like I’ll be swallowed whole—an endless blue. Even when I’m hoping, you always act like you don’t care, as if nothing can touch you. But the unreasonable one is actually you, like a child. So free it feels lonely, because I can decide everything. The inconvenience of having someone there—I miss it now. In the city at night, where countless flecks of light crowd together, those days, half-transparent and blinking, are somewhere out there, crying. I played with kids I barely knew, and then all that was left was to go home and sleep. The future I want, and surely the future you don’t want either. So free it feels lonely, because I can decide everything. The inconvenience of having someone there—I miss it now. So free it feels lonely, this transparent feeling. The person who was waiting in the sun shower is now in the sunlight.
