Commentary: “This song extracts the parts of life where you think and struggle over how you should be, how you act, the choices you make, and so on. It captures the struggle with the two sides of oneself. We titled it ‘Solotrip,’ comparing the endless time spent with yourself (solo), which continues until the day you die, to a trip.” (Billyrrom) Billyrrom, who have been working together with us as a team, decided on all the direction through close communication. The line at the beginning of the MV, “Can I continue to make solid choices on the road that leads the end?”, was created and inserted through Mamiya’s interpretation and suggestion.

I worked on this piece through repeated discussions with Fujii Kaze. The concept of the work is vagrancy and true freedom. Until a few years ago, I had personal interactions with people experiencing homelessness, and I recalled what I had felt at that time when planning this project. The public image of “homeless = poor, unhappy” is, for some people, a misconception. The homeless people I met had chosen a free way of living unconstrained by society, and their hearts were very wealthy. And we, living in the present day, realized that we are bound by so many things and rules that we are not truly free. These are things I recalled and thought about only as part of constructing the work, and what I wanted to convey in this piece was: That beautiful things are not the only things that are beautiful, and that any existence can be made cool depending on the expression of the artist.

LDH’s newly created next-generation comprehensive entertainment project, “BATTLE OF TOKYO” After two years of production beginning in 2019, he directed four music videos set to be released in spring 2021. In the first release, the MV for MAD JESTERS, portrayed by GENERATIONS, features exhilarating, roller-coaster-like direction in which soaring action unfolds amid a car chase shot entirely with dynamic camera work. By condensing the narrative development of a 30-minute anime into a 5-minute MV and fully telling the story, it creates a richly layered visual experience. A short-film MV that reveals new discoveries every time you watch it again.
