You watch a kid sit in silence after giving up the one thing that defined him, and somehow a single music video understands loneliness better than most full series. The song doesn't try to fix anything or make the moment bigger than it is. It just stays quiet with him, and that quietness breaks you.

That's Why I Gave Up on Music is a one-episode music video made for Yorushika's song Dakara Boku wa Ongaku wo Yameta. A short slice of life piece, it takes its title straight from the song it was created to accompany.
