子供の頃に描いてた純粋で夢みたいなセカイって、大人になるにつれて周りの目とか適応していく自分自身の影響で見失ったりするけど、なんかの拍子に思い出した時に、大事にしすぎて忘れてた宝物を見つけた気分になるんですよね なんか、そんな気分になれる作品でした

That was beautiful Snail. Thank you soooo much, super happy I was able to be here for the premiere

[@davidguthriemusic]

what an absolutely gorgeous MV--the best you've ever produced I think; rapparu is INSANE. TWO PEOPLE animated this?! and it looks like FILM QUALITY?! bonkers. Beautiful song as well!! 🙏

描写やら色々、分かりやすくも分かりづらくもないの、天才すぎて鳥肌立ちすぎてしにそう ↓ちょっとした考察？↓ ネタバレ注意(When you not see this movie yet, It's good you don't look this comment) 概要欄にある、 「忘れないで、君たちは何度でも結び直す事ができるんだ」 というセリフは、多分、2:13で言っている？(次辺りのシーンで、本の原稿のようなものにそのセリフが載っていることから) この時、カタツムリの子供が、夜空を見てごらん、みたいに、2人を向いて手を空に向けているので、星と星を結んで繋げた星座を例にして説明してると思える。だいすき。 因みに、カタツムリの子供が空を見上げる時、目が光っていたが、絵を描いていた人が、昔の友達が書いた本を見つける時にも一瞬目が光っていた。 小さい頃、2人が一緒に居た頃の、心の繋がり的なものを思い出して、またあの頃のように繋がる為のきっかけや予兆のように感じました。だいすき。 あと、松ぼっくりが落ちてカラスが出てくるシーン(2:57)で、絵を描いていた子が、それで立ち止まって、後ろを振り向いて、不思議そうな表情を浮かべるが、そのあとすぐに、交差点でトラックが横切る。カラスが松ぼっくりを落として、その子が轢かれるのを防いだように見えてだいすき。 あと、MVの最初に映る鳥居に、カラスが居ました。 このカラス、同一人物なのでは。だいすき。

[@ハニカム構造-w8t]

あとは、絵を描いていた人が、自分で描いた絵を見て泣いていて、その後に、友達の本を見つけて、それを家で読んで、また泣いていたけど、 まず、自分の絵を見て泣いていたのは、どれだけ描いても、あの頃を鮮明に思い出せなくて泣いているのでは、 次に、本を読んで泣いていたのは、友達の本の内容、友達が昔にも書いていた文章を読んで、鮮明にあの頃を思い出して泣いていたのでは、と感じています。 また、その前のシーンでその友達も、暗いところで泣きながら歩いていたのも、友達も同じように自分の書いた本だけでは、あの頃を思い出せなかったからだと思います。 つまり、この、友だちが泣いている数秒のシーンだけで、 2人のどちらも、もう片方の友達を必要としていて、2人が繋がっていない状態に苦しんでいたという説明になっているのでは、と思いました。 語彙がゴミだけど、なんとか文章にして、説明してみました。 あと、完全に私個人の意見です。 他の考察も聞いてみたい、、

[@ハニカム構造-w8t]

あっ！！！あと！！！絵を描いていた子の絵が！！！学生時代は、描いていた絵にカタツムリの子が居たけど！！！成長して大人になったらそれが消えてるのってもしかして！！！大人になって昔の出来事の記憶が消えかけてることを意味してるのでは！！！その記憶が消えることに焦りを感じて泣いていたのでは！？！？

[@itswa30]

考察してくれてありがとうございます！

[@nekomikan2000]

pixel galaxyの大都会や、sound travellerのファンタジーから打って変わって現実世界の田舎になってて良すぎる…！ MVマジで力入ってるって予告だけでも伝わってくる…

Art and animation is just gorgeous.

[@nekomikan2000]

うわぁぁぁめっちゃ涙腺来ちゃった……… future bassな感じは大人しめになって壮大さとimaginariumっぽい幻想感、 そこにこの日本の田舎ののどかな雰囲気のMVがめっちゃ相まってノスタルジーが押し寄せる…。 こういうタイプのストーリーであれば、大人になったらsnailちゃんが見えないって展開も多そうですが、 1番思い出になった星座の空という形で再会して、そこで曲も盛り上がるの涙腺に来ます！！

[@deeranfoxworthy6069]

That was heartbreakingly beautiful!! Thank you! Fantastic work everyone!!

[@priscila3037]

I'm crying, but I love it!! It's so sweet and cutest and so deep even without words. That missing childhood remembered. I love it so much!! Thank you for all the inspiration!! You always bring new colors to our lives. 😊❤❤

[@Eudaletism]

I'm in awe. The animation makes me feel like I'm in a dream.

[@thakonwitwechpiat7689]

The animation and music are so blending together perfectly. It is very long time to see Snail’s House making the outstanding, beautiful project. I like how the story revealed more details about characters after the tone changer and then concluded with emotional burst and artistic scene.

[@SerbianBean]

BRO SNAILS HOUSE IS COOKING UP A WHOLE ASS 5 STAR GORDON RAMSEY MEAL WITH THIS 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️💯😼🦈

holy... this is god-tier animation and story telling. the music and visuals compliment each other so well.

最高な曲でした！ujico*さん最高なアニメをありがとう！そして涙腺も崩壊させられました！

[@IshimurA99]

The MV gives us a feeling of both peace and emotion in a way

[@eikowaifu]

Watching two artist that I love for years collab together is so amazing. I've discovered Rapparu like 2 years ago and I was astonished by their way to animate with the clip of Naked King, and seing this clip, I litteraly cried because of how animated it is, and with Ujico music It gives such a tender and sweet, that's the best collab for real!!

[@コハギ]

I'm a Japanese Ujico fan. I was moved this music and animation. I'm glad to see your work that used my country's things. Thank you for creating this wonderful work🐌✨ I love Snail's House!

[@Jaies_]

This is so jaw-dropping beautiful, I love every part of it

[@AndyAtHome]

Oh my god, this is truly incredible. I feel like I just watched an entire movie in only 5 minutes! The animation is absolutely STUNNING, and the song it beautiful and emotional as well. Honestly brought me to tears watching the premier. Thank you so much for sharing your art with us!!!

Look how far Snail's House has come all these years. I love the Van Gogh style added into this one.

[@user-ir8vx5bg1u]

1:45 音がMVとリンクしてるのめっちゃいい

[@sporky9861]

The symbolism and masterful storytelling actually made me cry the first couple times I watched this video. The stars and constellations represent art, in every capacity. We find profound meaning in the arbitrary positions of stars in the sky, but in the same way, we're all stars, and we connect with each other to form beautiful and intricate webs of people. Snail-chan isn't really a magical snail girl (at least in this story), she's the childlike whimsy and wonder that we find in the world around us, and she COMES from the stars / sky (representing connections with other people). Art is the catalyst that reignites that whimsy and brings us closer to the people who are important to us. Art reflects life reflects art reflects life.

[@Aliascamplan]

Why can these guys fit more emotion and beauty in a 6 minute music video than some of the biggest production studios can in hours and hours of film and TV shows

[@BorksmithandTheBeef]

over production. No, really. After a certain point it's no longer a piece of art with feeling, it's just another endlessly refined product that has no depth or feeling.

[@lrgogo1517]

I mean, there are a lot of different "big productions" out there... it's not _that_ weird that this personally moved you more than at least one longer-form thing you could think of, is it?

[@dip1546]

Ujico is my favorite and will always be my favorite, we love you Ujico

This was beautiful to watch and so emotional. The love that went into this production is very apparent. Thank you for making this for us!

love this song been listening to your music since i stumbled across your Music 2 years ago and im happy of how big and better the animaton videos are

[@zblouite3336]

Van Gogh style is one of my favorite all of artstyle, his Starry nights are what ignited my art passion. Seeing the sky, painted in his fashion, animated, was grandiose and is imprinted in my memory. Also, the mv story moved me as a whole, i've got teary eyes. Thank you ujico for your music, and thank you rapparu and everyone who worked on the project.

[@Boro--]

バイト中に見るもんじゃなかった すごく良かった

[@samnoel9203]

I think this is probably one of the best starts to my morning I could have asked for, that was absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Snail.

[@EgoEroTergum]

We watch the stars, and draw lines between them, making up stories about their shapes and meanings. Never occured to me that they might be doing the same thing with us.

[@Cat_Friend_333]

Every time a new MV drops for one of your songs I can't see half of it due to the fact that I'm constantly wiping tears from my eyes. So glad you're still making music after all these years.

[@kempacaliber5273]

I love your fascination with the stars and space. Each music video has been amazing.

[@Inculturapedia]

I'm very happy to hear new Snail's house material and see new Rapparu's work as well.

Never thought a ujico mv would make me cry. 10/10

Wow, this was so beautifully made and sweet! There's so much heart in the story, music, and art design. I'm totally in love with these three now~
