The impressive "bizarre" two letters that decide this song's personality lend themselves to appropriate musical phrases that repeat themselves throughout the song.

Extra visual appeal is added by complementing the characteristically high drum'n'bass rhythm with shining points of light, noise, and shifting image brightness in the movie.
Also, I tried to replace the high-speed rhythms unique to drum'n'bass with visual information by adding flickering light movements, noise, and light and dark graphics.


We wanted to push the limits in horror film special effects, but as the date of the location test was quickly drawing near, and in reality it became difficult to borrow time from other staff members, we turned to CG to create the feeling of on-the-spot camerawork. We also played on the fear created by a disaster involving someone close to you ... it left something of a bad taste in our mouths at first, but we made a monster based on IIDX's very own [[TRAN]].
For this horror-taste video, I initially wanted to challenge it using special effects, but it became practically difficult to be able to receive assistance from the other staff as the location test was approaching, so I used CG for the live-action textures and camera work.<br>
And I used an orthodox method for "changes in familiar beings" to appear "scary", and although it slightly felt violating, I tried to make a monster appear by basing it on IIDX's familiar [[TRAN]].


To explain that the character in the movie is not TRAN, we devised a scenario where a clone, developed to manifest TRAN's many special abilities for use as a biological weapon, has escaped from the facility where it was developed before it was finished. Still, it seems a bit much like a typical biotech horror setting. We wanted to avoid giving away any feeling of specific circumstances in the movie concept. In the end, consider it as a stand-alone work.
In order to roughly explain that it's not TRAN, I remember thinking about very generic bio-horror settings like "TRAN was planned to be cloned to extract her many supernatural abilities as a base to develop a biological weapon, but it escaped while incomplete...".<br>
However, as a movie concept, since I wanted to avoid a direction which feels like it has a specific background or clear intention, even the typography resulted in an unrelated and distinct video.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

The two impressive characters "horror" (怪奇), which decided this song's personality, are suitable phrases repeated 4 times overall, twice in the first and second half.
This movie was conceived and created based on these phrases.
This horror-taste video is prepared by phrase length, and has 4 repeating patterns match its timing, such as being out of focus, radio interference, and progressively deteriorating video tapes.

Also, I tried to replace the high-speed rhythms unique to drum'n'bass with visual information by adding flickering light movements, noise, and light and dark graphics.

For this horror-taste video, I initially wanted to challenge it using special effects, but it became practically difficult to be able to receive assistance from the other staff as the location test was approaching, so I used CG for the live-action textures and camera work.
And I used an orthodox method for "changes in familiar beings" to appear "scary", and although it slightly felt violating, I tried to make a monster appear by basing it on IIDX's familiar TRAN.

In order to roughly explain that it's not TRAN, I remember thinking about very generic bio-horror settings like "TRAN was planned to be cloned to extract her many supernatural abilities as a base to develop a biological weapon, but it escaped while incomplete...".
However, as a movie concept, since I wanted to avoid a direction which feels like it has a specific background or clear intention, even the typography resulted in an unrelated and distinct video.
