“lute” is a mysterious moving image published on Instagram Stories at https://lutemedia.com.

This video was released simultaneously with two songs as part of Wednesday Campanella’s relaunch. Centered around sound, the music video unfolds at a brisk pace. The location was a curry restaurant in Shimokitazawa called “Buckingham Palace,” chosen to match the song title. MV Story It begins with Utaha, who works at the restaurant, being scolded by an employee. Not wanting to hear the shouting, Utaha escapes reality by chanting like a sutra: “Buckingham Kensington Kensington Alhambra...” After driving the manager out, Utaha does whatever she wants in the restaurant, only to suddenly warp to Guden in Setagaya Ward. Why!? No matter where she looks, it’s all Guden! No way!!! At that point, she returns to the restaurant again, and just as she starts having fun while thinking, “I don’t really get it, but whatever~,” the manager catches her. That’s the story. With lots of developments and cuts, and the song and music racing by like a roller coaster, it’s an addictive video that ends before you know it.
