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 imagined VJ ARMY again), like changing the tuner on a radio, and Hotaru agreed to take over the video.
The animations inadvertently became a pseudo-fairy tale, which I thought would surely neutralize it nicely, 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 all the parts except for those that kaeru had partially created! I tried not destroy kaeru's image and worldview... I tried... I tried... I was careful... but?!
I'm really sorry to all kaeru fans!
