You can hear the voices of the dead echoing up from the "lower world". I wonder what the world of those who spent their life in misdeeds is like? I suppose some day we'll all find out.

Video Production Information

mikoshiba

It's been a while since I've gotten to help out here. It's me, mikoshiba. And then to have my material be used for more than just a movie! It's too much; I'm very grateful.

Even though we were all on a really tight schedule for production, a lot of people helped me out. I got a lot of really good advice about the video from the master, VJ GYO, and some great suggestions for the video material from GOLI, and D.J.SETUP was happy to leave everything to me with a smile, supporting me consistently from start to finish. Thanks to all their support, I was able to come through and have lots of fun on this project.

There's a lot of contrasting feelings in this song, "lower world", so I was really worried about how to try to portray that visually. I, personally, saw a few different themes in this song - a stoic search for truth, a sense of purity, one man's quiet, yet burning drama - so I managed to work them all into this movie. I wonder how it turned out?
