Four minutes in and you're annoyed it's over. This is Koji Morimoto handed a GLAY single and treating it like a feature: a 228-person staff, 1,080 hours, and a "2.7D" look built specifically so an ordinary high school girl's face could carry the whole emotional load. The premise is nothing you'd pitch in a room, one girl moving through the noise and vacancy of modern life until she recognizes herself again, and that's exactly why it lands. Morimoto animates interiority instead of action, so the song stops being a soundtrack and becomes the girl's pulse. It's the rare music video that sold as a video single and actually deserved to. Watch it once for the animation, then again with the lights off, and notice that it got you on the third loop, not the first.

An ordinary high school girl drifts through modern life without direction, weighed down by uncertainty, anguish and the chaos of the society around her. Nothing seems to matter much, and she lets her days pass carelessly. Memories of her childhood, and of the dreams she once held, bring her back in touch with her own feelings, and she begins trying to change how she lives. Koji Morimoto directed this psychological music video for the band GLAY at Studio 4°C.
