Don't be afraid, go on make that move

Rather than an ○○ award winning song, I listened to it while feeling an upper-ground R&B song with HIP-HOP elements, but when you try to play it during the game... you'll need extremely super scratching techniques, just like a real DJ battle.
It's exactly an endless scratching battle!
So for this movie, I tried to capture the duality of the song, and based on visuals conscious of upper-ground R&B, I tried to give it a rough and noisy effect, which looks like it's filled with scratches.
When the song title is sang in the lyrics, I moved the female character around with the right timing to make the movie eye-catching.
I really wanted to make a live-action video, but various circumstances led to a CG character being used as usual...
