Video Production Information
VJ GYO
Led by a mysterious man known as colonel (the bearded person), a special forces team infiltrated the headquarters of a black-cladded mercenary unit in order to defeat them...
Filmed at a dark place in a determined sensitized state, it's a realistic action drama featuring the IIDX staff, which is rough like an image displayed through a night-vision scope, and combined with coarse textures and unexpected camerawork similar to live visuals...
Based on these movie-like visuals, I likened this theme song (it's rather embarrassing to say~) to an artist's promotional video of a film.
Needless to say, as the film's trailer cut is combined with visuals of himself, this is TaQ's first IIDX video appearance.
I made TaQ appear in a way which established him like casually viewing his perspective of a drama part, so I don't think many people immediately recognized him.
TaQ's filming time was very short and nearly up because of a scheduling error, but he cheerfully responded with (thank you!), which made it very enjoyable.
If you say "I don't know who TaQ is~", the developing monochrome tone throughout the movie has partially colored-cuts.
Please pay attention to that color.
TaQ's favorite color is "blue".
