A single song stretched into five minutes of pure visual quiet. The animation doesn't compete with the music, it gets out of the way, lets nano.RIPE's voice sit in the space between frames. If you've ever needed a song to feel less lonely, this is the shape that loneliness takes when someone actually sees it.

A music video set to nano.RIPE's song Yorugao, which was featured on NHK's Minna no Uta program. It uses the yorugao, or moonflower, a bloom that opens only in the evening and flowers during the Oban and Higan season, as a way of honoring and remembering people who have passed away. The piece is a single episode built around the song.
