Song Production Information

TaQ

The last wall was too innocent...

Video Production Information

F-FLY

Since this is a very bold song, I wanted the movie to have the same sort of vigorous feeling to it.
(Do you get it? Don't worry about it, just go with the feeling already.)

I had the image of "walls" of "Innocent Walls" being covered with graffiti.
Something like, "No matter what is written on the wall, the wall is innocent - it has committed no crime."
Not really the same as "the pen is mightier than the sword".
Rather, the feeling of "Don't emphasize the violent aspect, but rather the expression on the wall. There's nothing wrong with using a wall this way." is what I tried to aim for...
(Be careful, though! In reality, it's a crime to write graffiti on the walls!)

So. The graffiti style. The street style. I went for a mix of the blood-splatter-like design + typography + TaQ.
I don't think anyone realizes it, but the image and video are taken from the first Secret Live event.
