I think something interesting about this PV is that Gumi, Chocolate, and Pine all appear to be various facets of Narou's creativity. At the end, the three of them are seemingly combined into one entity that represent Narou themself. What's worth noting here is that neither Narou nor the "end character" appear to have talismans on their foreheads anymore, as if they'd been freed from whatever was constraining Narou before. I feel like the arc of this PV is about Narou's dissatisfaction with their work and the dwindling praise it received as they matured. The ending of the PV seems to signal that they accept that their various creative facets might not necessarily be noteworthy or attract praise, but that by accepting all those various aspects of themselves, they are free from the pressure of their own standards. Also, it's really cool having another PV with jiangshi style characters in it, haha. Narou's relationship with these characters and how they seem to have fashioned themself after them reminds me of my relationship with my own OCs.

I think the song is about being a creative creator and struggling to become successful with your art, and the pressure that comes with it. You may feel inadequate and not up to standards and thus your art can decline because you keep on putting unnecessary pressure on yourself and ultimately burning yourselg out and landing in a depressive hole that you struggle to climb out from, which many creators tend to neglect their health because they want to create masterpieces. But at the end of the song there's a happy note. As long as you still enjoy what you make and improve upon your art without criticizing yourself and hating yourself, you can create masterpieces without even knowing it. There's heavy Jiang-shi references in both the song lyrics and the mv. Jiang-shi are vampires that were cursed to rise from the dead. In a lot of media , they are depicted as chaotic. I think this ties into the message of rising yourself from a depressing rut many creators find themselves in and becoming "chaotic" (in other words, creating art that you want without pressure and improving at a fast pace)

absolutely this but i'll put my thoughts down about the mv as well. there's a lot of symbolism! the mc (his official name is narou, i'm guessing a pun on なろう, becoming) is obviously a struggling artist, specifically a character designer (we can see the extent of his struggle by the fact he doesn't even consistently take his medication, and the boxed-in room in the chorus implies he doesn't leave his room much) narou has some kind of self-image issues. frequently throughout the mv he transforms into his characters gummy, chocolate and pineapple, as well as a jiang-shi form of himself later on. he has a connection with these characters beyond just creating them, they are a part of who he is. At first verse he wants to show them off, and is unsuccessful. by second verse he is acknowledged, but this garners unfavorable criticism, as shown by the hand-person with the bat. (you can also see welter and flurry silhouettes, and they also criticised heath in ironina.) narou defends himself by transforming into his jiang-shi form. whenever narou is acknowledged for his designs, he gets a flower ribbon. when he was younger he got a black ribbon, his art in the second verse gets white ribbons. this flower ribbon motif shows up everywhere if you look, but pay attention to the colors. black ribbon = higher recognition. "are you going to disappear from this world without being remembered?" narou's younger self asks him this, and probably cements the whole significance of these ribbons, which is "i'm going to achieve greatness so i'm not forgotten when i'm gone". this fear is what looms over him. at the end, he is offered a black ribbon by a hand-person, but refuses and breaks it - in the end narou doesn't want to be constrained by those meager metrics of success, he wants to draw/become his characters freely, and that is how he wishes to be remembered, not by receiving the black ribbon. as an undead chaotic being then, the jiang-shi imagery definitely suits him! he surpasses even being remembered in death.

As someone who is too young to be worrying if I'll hit big one day or not, wanting to be recognized and popular on social media, I relate to this song on a different level.

I think this is my new favorite vocaloid song. Not only because it's an absolute bop, but I relate to the story on such a strong level that it's on the line of being disturbing yet comforting. I never thought a song could bring words the feelings I have when trying to find who I am, who I'm suppose to be. The real "me". I also relate in a way of when I'm trying to making my online persona, vtuber, or just who I want people to see me as. I always thought it was because I'm very indecisive, but this shed light on what I've been struggling with, I've been trying to limit the vision I have of myself, trying to hard. When really I just need to be myself, and if that means changing or altering how I perceive reality, then so be it. As long as I can be "me".

As such a huge fan of BAKUI for a long time, I'm so happy to see them getting the attention they deserve! Their work is so fantastic and I highly recommend people take a look at their other work! Their animations are so stellar! And on top of it all, this song is such a banger! I want to cover it so bad!

Love how the flower medal/pin is smashed, symbolizing how they literally are smashing through the obsession with perfection. In japan a flower on tests etc. is a „hanamaru“,literally just the circles used to show correct answers accumulated into a „circle-flower“. Their art -and subsequently they themselves- shackled since childhood by the fact that they need to uphold this perceived perfection. Them smashing the monster that has been chasing them and spurning them on in a very unhealthy manner is such a cathartic moment imo. Really special, even more so when it comes to the connection to art as a medium and the huge pressure that comes with being a public creator

for this mv's "story", my personal guess so far is that, maybe, the runaway model was very frustrated with their work despite it being their childhood dream, and used a magic amulet as solution (you can see them buying it in 2:30); since the lyrics mention being a jiangshi and jiangshis are spirits controlling dead bodies, i'll guess that the amulet makes a spirit (the one with the red stripes under the eyes) possess them and work for them - the spirit loves it, finding it fun and being able to work just well (1:49 to 2:00 though you can see this through the whole mv really). they manage to get a big crowd and make designs and all that. but then, the model gets sick of it, and realizes they don't want to let their childhood dream die and spoil themself like this instead of working on it themself (2:05 - 2:31 (i think this is especially visible in the part their younger self in the photography asks "are you going to disappear from this world without being remembered?")). they break the amulet and the spirit is released, and you can see the model smiling in 2:57, 3:03 and 3,12. the spirit flies away happily, then tells them "don't let dreams end in an instant" (3:17), supporting them on working on their dreams and ending on a good note. :) maybe i'm misinterpreting things, but this is what i have so far! absolutely love this song
This world is too overjoyed with this new song! Thank you Niru-san for your hard work🥲🥲.they are all addictive
