Four minutes in and you're rewinding at quarter speed to figure out how a single animator pulled that off. This is sakiyama with the leash off, directing and animating a Zutomayo track solo, and it shows in every frame where the linework stays raw and the perspective bends past what a storyboard should allow. The song came out in June 2019 and sat there for two years before it got a body; the MV exists because the channel crossed a million subs, which means this was made as a gift to the people already obsessed. ACAn'e's vocal does the thing it always does, jamming too many syllables into a bar until the phrasing itself feels like anxiety, and the animation matches it beat for beat instead of just decorating it. Music is the whole point here, and the pictures know it.
Kan Saete Kuyashii wa is a music video for the ZUTOMAYO song of the same name, directed and animated by sakiyama. The song first came out in June 2019, and the video was made in 2021 to celebrate the band's official YouTube channel reaching one million subscribers.
