It’s a number that depicts the fun of humans who have contradictory things, such as dreams and reality, tragedy and comedy, in a Western-style worldview.The first half and second half of the song have completely different sound makeup, making it a truly one-of-a-kind SHOW.

– Tomonari Sora comment –
Director Udo’s simple yet profound magic has made the world of Lyric Video a reality.
People gather to watch a mysterious roadside show.
The boundaries between inside and outside the box gradually fade.
And eventually, you, who are looking at the screen, will also be inside…
What do you think of this MV?
– Udo comment –
This music video is connected to the lyric video,
The music video depicts a world outside the box depicted in the lyric video.
I came up with this story because I thought it would be fun if adults who spend their days pretending to live up to their surroundings were freed, even if only during a street clown show.
I hope you enjoy watching the adults gradually being drawn into the box and being released, as well as the clown’s captivating uncut performance.
