Since this is a very bold song, I wanted the movie to have the same sort of vigorous feeling to it.<br>
It has a very powerful melody, so I also tried to make a very powerful video. <small>(Don't you know what I mean? Don't worry, please follow its feeling)</small>
(Do you get it? Don't worry about it, just go with the feeling already.)


I had the image of "walls" of "Innocent Walls" being covered with graffiti.<br>
I imagined the "Walls" of "Innocent Walls" being covered with graffiti.<br>
Something like, "No matter what is written on the wall, the wall is innocent - it has committed no crime."<br>
Something like, "the walls are innocent, no matter what is expressed on them".<br>
Not really the same as "the pen is mightier than the sword".<br>
"The pen is mightier than the sword", right?<br>
Rather, the feeling of "Don't emphasize the violent aspect, but rather the expression on the wall. There's nothing wrong with using a wall this way." is what I tried to aim for...<br>
"Don't make your point through violence, express it to the wall. There's no guilt in complaining to the wall". I wonder if it feels like this?<br>
(Be careful, though! In reality, it's a crime to write graffiti on the walls!)
And...<br>
(Be careful!! In reality, it's a crime to cover walls with graffiti!!)


So. The graffiti style. The street style. I went for a mix of the blood-splatter-like design + typography + TaQ.<br>
That's why. It has a graffiti style. A street style.<br>
I don't think anyone realizes it, but the image and video are taken from the first Secret Live event.

Video Production Information

F-FLY

It has a very powerful melody, so I also tried to make a very powerful video. (Don't you know what I mean? Don't worry, please follow its feeling)

I imagined the "Walls" of "Innocent Walls" being covered with graffiti.
Something like, "the walls are innocent, no matter what is expressed on them".
"The pen is mightier than the sword", right?
"Don't make your point through violence, express it to the wall. There's no guilt in complaining to the wall". I wonder if it feels like this?
And...
(Be careful!! In reality, it's a crime to cover walls with graffiti!!)

That's why. It has a graffiti style. A street style.
I tried to mix the blood splatter design + typography + TaQ.
No one will notice it, but I also included footage from secret LIVE.
