I'm amazed nobody has made a review for this yet. Though, I kind of understand since nothing much happens in the video. Directed by the acclaimed Kouji Morimoto of the, again, acclaimed Studio 4°C. It is about a humanoid rabbit just enjoying the music and jumping rope in different locations. It's not as simple as that, though. While the movemets of the bunny-person are limited, each one is in perfect harmony with the background and the music; which, by the way, is the first time ever I see something like this. I can't talk about backgrounds without the special effects embedded in them. The backgrounds arefairly simple, but they are complemented perfectly by the special effects. Thanks to said special effects, the backgrounds stop being 'simple backgrounds' and become a character accompanying the person-rabbit. I have to say I don't usually enjoy Japanese music, specially this kind of slow electro-pop, but it appears that if you can make a video which is able to transmit the feeling of the song, anyone can enjoy any kind of music. This is a great video, and I encourage everyone to watch it, even if you don't think you'll like the song. It will be worth it.
