We produced a music video composed with extreme close-ups and gritty effects, so that the members of Up Up Girls (Kari) could reveal a new side of themselves with an intensity and boldness unlike typical idols.

This work is based on the “fleeting scenery” captured while driving on a highway, and is built around the concept of connecting the sensibilities that lie between photography (the moment) and music (time). It reconstructs elements such as the tension of the shutter, the space created in between, and the sense of speed through both sound and visuals, portraying an experience in which “moments accumulate and become time.” In the visuals, rather than simply arranging still photographs, depth information is generated to create a pseudo-3D effect, and by moving them again, a new temporal axis is introduced. Instead of faithfully reproducing reality, the work deliberately incorporates imperfections and blur, adopting a method of transforming photographs into something else entirely. Through trial and error under the constraints of using only photographs and instrumental music, this piece aspires to the beauty and immersion that emerge from limitation.
