A single song builds an entire world of regret. The animation doesn't explain what's happening, it trusts you to feel it first, understand it second. Every frame serves the music, not the other way around. This is what happens when a director treats a song like a story that's already complete, and just has to show you what it looks like inside your head.
Yume to Shiriseba is a one-episode fantasy music video built around the song If I Knew It Was A Dream, performed by Tsukuyomi. Fuyo directed the video. The same track also doubles as the theme for the mobile game DragonNest2: Evolution, which links this short animated piece to that title.
Streaming If I Knew It Was A Dream legally, as of the last catalog refresh. Availability changes by region.
