何度観ても、見飽きない。観るたびに圧巻。このワンテイク撮りではカメラマンの働きも秀逸。カメラマンも終了時に息が上がるのも当然だけど、そんな次元を遥かに超える激しい動きをしている4人は、息を荒げる様子もなく余裕の笑い。ダンスや歌や斬新さやセンスもすば抜けてるけど、アスリート超えるほどの4人のフィジカルもすば抜けてる。凄すぎる。

[@gayzela]

I read it was a drone

[@nikytamayo]

@@gayzela That would explain some of the movement, but that's a really difficult flight, especially when you put the camera between the girls. And this is remote, so if it was a drone, the pilot couldn't be in the room at the time. Much props for his precision if that is true. The way the tables are arranged, that's still possible to do with a physical 360 cam on a stick.

[@thedrbooty2691]

I wonder if this band is seen as a bit "edgy" to the older more traditional person because they speak about standing out and individuality being a virtue. So they do an homage to older/ancient vocabulary words and make them sound cool, just to score some points with the conservative folks.

[@stra2g]

@@thedrbooty2691 I don't necessarily think it's edgy since literally no one I know including family ever uses these terms. Some will pop up on official bank documents but verbally it's always simple and clean cut.
