Comments from muque Members

“When we first received the project proposal from Director Kamoshita, we were surprised by the unique concept and immediately knew it would turn out great. For ‘Later,’ we intentionally asked for the lyrics and the MV’s story to differ. The result is a stylish, retro piece infused with mystery and humor, taking inspiration from silent films. Look out for our brief cameo and enjoy the video till the end!”

Director Daiki Kamoshita’s Comments

“It’s a comedic tale of a woman affirming her suppressed human nature and breaking free from modern society. In our highly rational and orderly world, people like us, irrational and chaotic, crave salvation. Yet, we fear to recognize and act upon this longing.

Realizing the absurdity of this fear and taking that first step into the outside world may seem daunting, but it could be as simple as pushing open a door we’ve been pulling on all along.”
