Video Production Information
kaeru
I only created three quick animations. The moon child laughs at night. What's with that?
I wanted to create the whole video myself, but I didn't have time, so I thought it'd be nice if various people participated in this song with various touches (I initially fantasized about VJ ARMY again), like changing the tuner round and round on the radio, so Hotaru agreed to take over the video.
The animations inadvertently became a pseudo-fairy tale, which I thought would surely neutralize it with a nice feeling, but the image was completed as a really cool movie. Thank you!
To~ those~ who created this, I think the exciting feeling of not knowing what you can do is very nice~. (My tone changed)
F-FLY
This was difficult!
I had the difficult task of filling in the parts that kaeru drew! In order to not destroy kaeru's image and worldview... in order to... in order to... I used another animation... but?!
I'm really sorry to all kaeru fans!
