When I listened to “Dandelion,” I felt that it vividly portrays the pain, strength, and hope involved in living as a human being, and it brought these thoughts to mind. Everyone is born into this world with a reason and a value. Even if you feel ordinary, bored, or restricted, if you keep taking actions that will let your future self smile, then someday surely whatever is “holding you back” will disappear, and you’ll be able to live happily. So, love your own life more. And smile more. I believe that, as we continued filming with that concept in mind, this music video was born from the blending of Rira’s emotions, expressions, subtle movements of her fingertips, gaze, and singing, all seeming to well up from within her.

Using soap bubbles (transparent spherical forms) as the main motif, the animation gently and softly depicts them drifting, transforming, and touching various things as they travel through space. The piece ends by returning to the opening scene, creating a loopable structure.

Mr. Hoshino, enveloped in an ambiguous sense of reality, wanders through the city late at night. Scattered images of presence and absence, light and shadow, this world and the next.

The radiance of youth!
