Mitski Happy.

yet another productive summer in the delightful company of my partner in distress: miss miyawaki.
i could never thank her enough for musicalizing my most internal thoughts with a surprising level of accuracy.
however, i made this little piece as a humble offering of gratitude.

bro really said: YOU GO GIRLIE POP❤😊👍🏻

I can't believe I just discovered this absolute masterpiece i love that curly haired guy with the scooter; he's such a good sport

[@sagpilehpapa]

haha, i remember holding him very dearly when i made this video. thank you for bringing back the memory ✾.

I love this so so much. It captures the unsettling and angry vibes of the song and original music video perfectly.

[@growing.flowers]

Yes.

[@Summyer]

It would have been nice if she ends up with the scooter guy. He seems like a keeper.

[@rotten.peachez]

my thoughts exactly. like if someones dedicated enough to drive a motorcycle after a boat for you, they should have a chance w u

[@esd3765]

I like the detail of the cookies being free from a gas purchase. They seemed like a heartfelt gesture to her, but to him they were an afterthought.

[@Ratburger_]

Oh my god! I just realised in the first scene the makeup on the lady’s face comes off, revealing her actual skin colour. There’s something poetic in the fact she chose to hide her face rather than hold her lover’s. Beautiful foreshadowing

[@AnkhAnanku]

I thought it was a bruise, indicating there was some abuse that she wasn’t letting us/herself see.

[@pixelzebra8440]

I thought she got burned when I watched it

[@kaazimsheikh9034]

I thought it had to do with her spending so much time and effort to look good only for Mr happy to not even really care

[@opheliacmoon9160]

The way the woman attempts to be an eurocentric ideal reminds me of the new original music video where Mitski originally thinks she's being cheated on with a 'blue eyed cookie' An ideal she can never live up too

[@Nyanderthall]

I need the lore I need to understand what's the context in this masterpiece I really love your animations I NEED TO UNDERSTAND ALL THE METAPHOR

[@Kokorocodon]

It's a woman chasing love because she can't be happy by herself. He rejects her because she's wearing full body make-up and a wig (she doesn't accept herself), and along the way she dumps an actual good lover's hearts (the biker, which she used as a means to an end), just to the chase her selfish desire, and of course it doesn't pay off, she got her validation and that's it. So in the end of she goes to become the one who steals people's hearts and leave them hanging, just as it happened to the happy guy probably.

[@Robo_quesos_cremosos]

mi interpretación es que mitski le ofrece todo su corazón a la persona que,entre tanta gente aburrida y anodina ,la hace feliz. Ella cambia su forma de ser y la forma en la que se ve para que "happy" la ame,pero "happy" no está interesado en su amor. Las migajas y el "ahora tendré que limpiar de vuelta" representaría las migajas de interés que "happy" le da.

[@Robo_quesos_cremosos]

(sorry if i have a bad eng ) my interpretation is that mitski "gives her whole heart" to the person that Among so many "boring and Anodyne people"can make her happy. She changes her whole personality and appearence so happy can love her,but happy is not into her. The cookie wrappeds are A representation of the 'Crumbs" of Interest that "happy" gives her.

THIS IS GENUINELY SO GOOD HUH???

[@andifishgallery9400]

Your style has a certain vibe that I can’t describe. Like everything feels so uncanny yet so beautiful. The muted colors the smooth transitions and the story telling is all so well done! The twist is so interesting and I really want to know more. Honestly most of my words here don’t describe this masterpiece well enough

[@pinkieparfait]

it’s so late in the night and i can’t formulate the words to describe how i feel as well as i would like to. i happened to find your channel about an hour ago and i’ve just been going down and watching things over and over, and this one is one that resonates with me to an inexplicable degree. if we were not strangers, i would share everything just to speak on how much this animation means to me. i’m so choked up because, although i’m not sure if the protagonist is meant to represent you, their true appearance looks just about how i did when i had have own “happy.” The ending of this animation is worth so many words to me, as now I am not only mentally a new person but I physically changed so much to the point where the person I was at the time is purely unrecognizable to my peers. The physical changes has had upsides and downsides, the downsides making me see my own reflection as monstrous like the protagonist in the end. However, mentally, I have consistently felt like that grotesque amalgamation of myself and “happy.” It goes even further if you consider the comments about the protagonist and “bike guy” getting together, I’m not sure about your intentions for him, but if this was a storybook I’d write my own chapter for myself where that does happen. I say that because I have my own “bike guy” as well, whom, in the last ditch effort to save my “happy” carried me all the way. In my epilogue of this story, the protagonist would save him from drowning and form a relationship with him. I understand this implies the protagonist would be his “happy,” that is the point, as the phrase “the abused becomes the abuser” is something that constantly looms over me when my behavior reminds me of “happy.” I would absolutely love to see the protagonist go on to struggle with their new, well, everything and how they’d try to balance it out in a new relationship. as much as i would like to project and wish them a happy ending, i know that isn’t always accurate. i hope that is the case for me, though, because i still have my “bike guy” and he has been patient with me even in my ugliest times. again it’s very late and i’m not sure at all if any of this has made sense, but regardless of sensibility i still thank you for this animation. i adore mitski and this has somehow managed to grow my adoration for her even larger. your art has impacted so many people across your channel comments, you truly should be so very proud of yourself for touching so many people’s hearts. i could only dream of doing the same with my words. thank you so much

[@sagpilehpapa]

thank you for sharing your experience. i wish you and bike guy all the best. 🖤

[@35mmonica]

this is genuinely such a good interpretation of the story. i’m floored. amazing work

[@sarajohnson6828]

the perspective!! the colors! the meaning of the song properly represented!! i almost cried when the makeup came off her face

[@RushieCat]

1:12 the way he runs away HELP 💀

[@alesabelen1558]

tag yourself im the conductor looking at a woman holding a still-beating human heart presenting it like an engagement ring in utter shock

[@growing.flowers]

2:31 i like how supportive this dude is 🤣🤣

[@ariyanyan]

This is exactly the type of visual that I've always imagined this song to be paired with. This is amazing!!

[@ScutoidStudios]

the extent to which this is underrated astonishes me, it's up there with my favourite animations. like of any animations ever of all time, it's just that beautiful to me - and it completely matches the tone of mitski's music. I honestly prefer this to the official video, however much I love the original video. sincerely, thank you.

[@kiyokomiyazaki]

I love how she became a happy at the end

[@vinikjk]

make more videos about mitski songs pls

[@sagpilehpapa]

stay put!

[@Liz-iu5lx]

I can’t believe how cinematographic this is. This is beyound youtube, wow. Thank you.

[@CherryXXCola]

I saw Mitski, clicked on the video, and was not disappointed. What an intriguing and beautiful piece of art

[@GoofyPeachy67]

Okay, just wanted to point this out intentional or not, the guy at 3:31 scream is perfect in my eyes, matches perfectly with the sound in the song! I love that so so much!

[@brutelogic153]

This needs more attention. This is genuinely a masterpiece, it elevates the original song so much, idk if i wouldve even liked it if i heard it before watching this video but ive gotta listen to more mitski now

[@theonlyMxDiamond]

I just saw Mitski perform this song a few hours ago. Now I see this animation.

[@madisnzz]

so so so good omg that ending

[@minipretzels]

What the hELL WHERE WAS THIS TALENT ALL ALONG HELLO??? CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE DYNAMICS OF THIS ANIMATION???

[@nima-]

i love this animation so much, the motorcycle and star rope scene is a MASTERPIECE!

[@pcplmk]

cool and exciting! hope mitski watch this

[@maiarossi1288]

i love the choices you made, like her ripping out her actual anatomic to give it to him and the blonde wig and the body paint revealing black hair and darker skin

[@mooagui]

You capture even the most undesirable, truly incredible, it sweetens my day.

[@matdila2676]

LITERALLY HOW I VISUALISED IT, YOU'RE INCREDIBLE

[@ShatteredHe3rts]

Your videos are all absolute masterpieces. I could not put into words what they are, but they are so deep and meaningful. I feel as though these kind of pieces of art truly capture the meaning of each song, and it is utterly comforting to watch these. I simply cannot scroll on my homepage and PASS one of these masterpieces. Each time I see your videos, I click on them and watch them through. Please continue to make amazing works of art like this and your many other works.

[@TryinaD]

It reminds me of the CDI Zelda animation style, but in a good way! Unsettlingly exaggerated facial expressions and proportions, as well as a camera that swings around, used right.

[@robinbuckley3690]

oh my god your artstyle goes with this so well, this animation is incredible!!

[@35mmonica]

THIS DESERVES A MILLION VIEWS

[@aoikuma2337]
