Four minutes, and it lands harder than shows with twenty-four episodes to work with. That's the YOASOBI trick: Ayase builds the song out of somebody's written words first, ikura sings it like she's reading over your shoulder, and Satoru Ohno's direction has to keep pace with a track that never once lets the tempo sag. There's no room for filler here, no breath between hooks, just image after image chasing a chorus that's already sprinting. Watch the Japanese cut from 2021, then the English version that dropped in December 2022, and clock how the same frames read differently when the syllables shift under them. It's the kind of thing you queue up meaning to watch once and end up looping at 1am, still knowing exactly which beat is going to get you.
Love Letter is a one-episode music video made for the YOASOBI song of the same name, with Satoru Ohno directing. It was first uploaded on August 31, 2021 in a Japanese-language version. A second cut, set to the English rendition of the song and also titled Love Letter, followed on December 10, 2022.
