“To Everyone, Diamonds” You can love whomever you choose. That’s the kind of era we’re living in. And yet, even so, we still feel bound by all kinds of constraints. The uncomfortable gaze of those around us. Societal assumptions about what we should do. Laws and rules that fail to keep up with the times. We’re done letting things like that get in the way. Surely, everyone has the right to love equally, no matter who they are or what situation they’re in. There’s no need for stiff, rigid reasons. Because we love with all our heart. That alone should be enough. So that anyone can express their love to the person in front of them. Ameya Eitaro is expanding overseas with “Sweet Diamond,” a diamond-shaped candy.

~Yellow little bear "GUCHON" receives an invitation from the veteran overseas label "CHIWAX." He hops on a plane and joins the party as a DJ on a beach where pistachios are running around...~ This music video began production to commemorate the release of the first analog record from an overseas label by "GUCHON," the owner of Japan’s long-established internet label "Sabakan Records"... but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, record production was delayed again and again, and the animation MV was created over a span of three years in a situation where no one knew whether the record would ever actually be released. The world was in a complete mess, but the world of the work is all about love and peace, and various members of domestic internet labels, as well as overseas labelmates, are turned into characters and appear in the piece. The creative team brought together members who have close ties with "Koya," known as "the sage," and the final film was completed while preserving each person’s distinct drawing style and animation style.
