Virtual duo artist “Marpril” MV With a choreography video as the theme, we also expressed its virtual nature by incorporating a lot of motion graphics.

This project began as a side story to Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s 2017 music video for “WanteD! WanteD!” It focuses on a certain girl (Yurina Hirate) who exists in the same world as the 2017 video, which evokes a sense of impending apocalypse. The real-life sense of an ending that spread during the COVID-19 pandemic resonated with the world originally envisioned for this work, greatly expanding the concept. It directly visualizes the various emotions and the multiplicity of themes that emerged through repeated discussions with Hirate and the staff.

Regardless of the country or ethnicity behind the music, I interpreted the message in my own way: if hearts connect, everything becomes one. With that in mind, I aimed for a global, even cosmic perspective, and incorporated PCs, social media, and design as expressions that erase borders and divisions. I also made a conscious effort to create a video that children can enjoy, regardless of age or language. I would be happy if this upbeat message reaches many people.
