Fun fact: This song is inspired by the story Thanatos no Yūwaku (タナトスの誘惑, An Invitation from Thanatos). In short, the guy sees the girl trying to jump off a building, stops her, love at first sight, every time she planned to suicide she texted him about it, he thought she wanted him to stop her, but what she really wanted is different, one day, she again tries to jump, he gets there quickly and grabs her hand, she is saying the god of death/grim reaper (Thanatos) is calling for her, he is telling her that she needs to look at him and not at the grim reaper, apparently, the grim reaper appears attractive to whoever it calls, he then asks her, why even though he loves her so much, won't she look at him, she said that she doesn't want to anymore, he said that he doesn't want this either, she said "I'm tired already", "I'm tired too" he said, "I want to die faster" she said, "I also want to die!!" he said... At that moment, when he said he also wants to die, she lifted her head, she smiled. "You finally realised?" she asked. "Ah... I finally understand" he said. "Really? That's great" she said "Ah I see, every time you planned to commit suicide and called me, it was not because you wanted me to save you... you wanted to bring me along" he said Now we understand that she wanted him to suicide with her... Why? To him, his grim reaper was her. "Well then, shall we go?" She asked "Let's go" he said "Hands held, you ane me" he said they jumped together...

[@eleanorrigby7897]

Sheesh that's a bit much But why she wanted to him go away with her, why not just d*e alone ?

[@your_mom_said_hi]

@@eleanorrigby7897 This is my own theory but I guess because as the 2 met on the bridge where she was about to commit suicide, the guy was also there to commit suicide and the girl was his grim reaper and that is why he was in love with her in the first place.

[@gamscape3831]

​@@your_mom_said_hithe guy never wanted to commit suicide but his time in the world was up, so the grim reaper took the form that he idolizes, they fell in love and then the reaper at end conviced him to jump with he, If you listen to the original he assumes she's the one seeing the grim reaper and It hurts him, not realizing that she's the grim reaper (it's just a way to make him die)

10/10 This video is honestly the best thing I’ve seen produced from TheAnimeMen ever. Everything in this video was done right for me. Take for example the transitions, especially at 1:00, they were spot on and fantastic. The settings they chose too was honestly just amazing. Not to mention the Funeral scenes which were sprinkled in and added at the perfect times in the song in order to really juxtapose the happy moments from the downright grim ones. Another interesting attention to detail was Gianni’s hair growing during the funeral which adds amazing symbolism of both growth and age. The ending is phenomenal, and for the first time in a while, I got chills after seeing the camera flash to all the photos of the late friend group. I like that it’s left a little vague on what happened to the group, and the fact that their eyes were scribbled out to show that even while they still seemed there, they were inevitably just Gianni’s cross to bear. This video is just truly impeccable, and in my opinion, a genuine work of art. While TheAnimeMen found success through short skits on TikTok, videos like this shows the groups ability to create amazing pieces that are full of vibrant shots, insightful symbolism, and a thought provoking message.

Story: There were seven friends, friends since grade school, the boys. On one particular boy's night out, they decided to surprise their homie (the first guy we see) as it was his birthday; They decided that they would hit up all their favourite joints and spend all night celebrating. They first hit up a sushi shop one of the boys father owned and he worked in. They ate their fill, then decided to go to their favorite arcade. They spent hours there, time seemed to fly by as they had fun. Then they bought some beer from a convenience store and went to bowling alley, challenge each other's high score for hours even though all of them except one sucked at bowling. Feeling a bit giggly, then finally decided to hit a club, but they bought no drinks since they had no cash left and they just wanted to have fun, so spent hours dancing till their legs were wobbly, showing off their weirdest moves. When they got out of the club it was way past midnight, they decided to end their rendezvous by sharing a beer each. The birthday boy decided that it would be his treat for the night and went to an ATM to take out some cash since they had none left. The other six friends went inside the convenience story still feeling a bit groovy. The store was playing "Running into the Night", they started bobbing to song a bit till they heard a loud shout. The store was being robbed by a man with an AR and a clown mask over his face, they ducked behind different racks and hid themselves. The robber was pointing the gun at the store owner and shouting to put all the money in the cash register into a plastic bag. As the robber was looking inside the cash register, one of the boys good at bowling threw a can of soup at the robber which hit him in the head. While the robber was dazed the store owner pulled out a shotgun, but the robber saw him and started shooting indiscriminately. The night ended with a total of 7 dead, the store owner survived. While the birthday boy was at the ATM, he heard multiple gunshots coming from the convenience store. He hesitated a but soon rushed to the store to find the bloody mess. One week later, the culprit (now dead) was identified and the case was closed. The funeral service was held in private with only the family members attending to avoid the media frenzy. The birthday boy (now no longer his birthday) was the only survivor among the seven. He was wrecked with guilt, thinking if only he refused the birthday plans, if only he didn't offer the beer. He had picked up smoking, he was quite the chain-smoker now. It calmed his nerves. He would never be able to celebrate his birthday now, nor would he ever forget the song he heard when he saw all his friends' corpses.

this video is the perfect example of the song, it is like depressing but an absolute bop

[@peacer.p4179]

I cried. This is perfect. What I feel from watching them dance hapily together, having a blast, is sadness(beautiful moves from everyone tho). We know where this is going, the feeling when you watch them happy together makes you feel loneliness and sad cause you know that in the end, as the video portrayed, he won't be able to have that happiness again. Man in black (I am sorry that I do not know his name, I will call him MC) still have all his delusional friends in white, their eyes are all crossed out, he is not moving on from his friend in this moment. MC is recollecting all his beautiful time he had with his friends, the good time he had. He still sees his friends in the funeral, they even sat there, until they finally walked away and never be seen anymore after that point. Imagine how heartbreaking that would be. He can only have a blast with them in memories and it will not be a real thing anymore. This captures the fun, upbeat beat and depressive lyrics perfectly. Thank you for this beautiful video.

[@Emnpgl]

you just expressed perfectly why this mv is just perfect

[@jscs9960]

thus gave me goosebumps i didnt felt before watching first

[@xyzyoutuber1562]

I also think that in the first part of the video, it seems like MC is the one who is suicidal as his expression keeps getting more and more depressed and he seems more indifferent to his friends as the video progresses (he is wearing black while all the others are wearing white) but in the end we find out that the ones who died were his friends exactly like in the original music video where the boy was the one who was actually suicidal.

[@vbarreiro]

This is a full understanding of a song - the cheerfulness of the beat, and the tragedy of the lyrics.

[@princeofcats331]

This MV is very good at displaying the 'double interpretation' archetype in music. The cheerful motif is represented by the dance and arcade scenes, while the deeper meaning is represented by the funeral scenes.

[@starjasmine-01]

this music video has so much depth and meaning to it. the attention to detail of the friends (the dead) standing in white suits (compared to the black suit that the one living friend is wearing). the pink scribbles on their faces like in the original music video, to the laughter and fun that they had while the friends were alive together (emphasising that energetic, happy beat that we all know from 'racing into the night') but connecting it all to the end and short shots throughout to show a meaningful, sadder message behind it. it's like how the original song does, but twisted into a new meaning. the dark colours of the funeral contrasting with the nostalgic, bright colours of the friends playing at the arcade and dancing together is an absolute 10/10 💗an absolutely spectacular music video! this deserves the 9 million views it has and more.

For those who don’t exactly know why this song is dark let me explain: there is a girl trying to commit suicide in the anime and claims to have seen the grim reaper calling her. Then this boy keeps saving her as he loves her. She still trying to fall of the building so in the end they both fall of but the girl doesn’t die because she wasn’t real but his grim reaper 💀. So you can understand why it is so dark.

[@funkinchongdongs5575]

Man, this depicts how crazy the narrative of a song can be and how intense the emotions displayed during the funeral feel. The dancing portion is both a reaction we feel while listening to the song and the memories they had before death which gives me chills when I see the transition to the guy speaking on behalf of the dead. This represents the song's depressed nature in the joyful or erratic music playing in the background which represents how we suppress the tragic memories to keep a sane smile. The transitions from the happy moments to the funeral are well defined as the sudden climax of showing who died and giving hints throughout the video expresses the amount of buildup this event made as the people with scratched-out faces disappear and reveal they'd died. As a final momento to this masterpiece of mv. Angles, sudden effects, the lighting, and the amount of effort to the settings make this an absolute unit to watch. From detail to time the song and the mv up perfectly had me perplexed at how amazing the editing was. So I give this a 10/10 since it's done well and it's a Yoasobi song.
