Future Projection IIAcid Black Cherry

It’s Acid Black Cherry’s “Mirai Yosouzu II.” It’s a cover of Dreams Come True’s super-famous song, and the music video is packed with little Easter eggs everywhere, which makes it really fun.

It’s supposed to be a heart-wrenching love story, but the ABC members keep popping up here and there and you can’t stay focused.

By the way, the ending of the love story is based on a true story.
