A music video that casts the creator’s recurring characters according to their personalities and develops a story around them. Set to a pop tune with slightly negative lyrics, it unfolds like a colorful children’s animation, depicting the repetitive cycle of an adult’s gloomy daily life and small moments of happiness.

Music video for “Aitou,” with original concept, lyrics, and visuals by Tasoya Maro. The music was composed by the Vocaloid producer Tonbi. The vocals are by Kagamine Yuki, a Vocaloid (synthesized voice). Unlike the usual commissioned work where only the visuals were produced, this music video was funded and planned by Tasoya Maro, who also commissioned the composition. Please enjoy this song of pity and love sung by the dead to the living, set to an addictive melody.

Ai Otsuka has invited a variety of music producers and track makers from different genres to join her in a remake project, releasing her own reimagined songs as digital singles once a month. The fifth release is “Peach Petal (mabanua Remix).” “Now, more than ever, I find myself feeling affectionate toward my old songs.” The image is of light shining onto sounds that had been dazzling and left in the shadows. “Sounds that were hidden in the sunlight show their faces before the moon.” With the hope that each song would reveal many different expressions, this remake project has been accompanied by animated music videos. In her debut song, “Peach Petal,” those expressions gather in forms like animals and plants. The intention was to evoke a scene reminiscent of a nirvana painting.
