Minami's voice moves through every frame like it's the only thing that matters, and syo5 animates around it instead of over it. The pacing never lets the image sit still, each cut arriving exactly when the song demands it, not a frame wasted on filler. It's a music video that understands the difference between visualizing a song and becoming one with it. This is what happens when a director respects the artist enough to get out of the way and then moves anyway.

Ame wo Matsu, is a music video made for the Minami single of the same name. Syo5 directed the piece and also handled its animation, pairing the song with original visuals in a single short release.
