MomotaroSuiyōbi no Campanella
Using the classic folktale Momotaro as its motif, Wednesday Campanella’s Momotaro veers into a storyline different from the one we know.
It portrays a comical worldview in which both the reason for heading to Onigashima and the way events unfold there are different.
The beat-driven sound and light, rap-like vocals further emphasize a sense of buoyancy and humor.
The video conveys a narrative that diverges from the original story through animation, and its visual style also reinforces the comedic tone.
As it gradually departs from the source material, you find yourself increasingly curious about how the plot will develop as you watch.
creationHoshino Gen
This song, Gen Hoshino’s “Souzou,” which also served as the theme for the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros., really impressed me—he’s known for love songs and mellow tracks with a hint of shadow, yet he can also create something this bright and positive.
The music video is an up-tempo number, and the screen moves busily in step with it—an artistic piece.
At the same time, it’s packed with various scenes that evoke the title “Creation,” and the behind-the-scenes video had me constantly thinking, “So that’s how they filmed it!” The moment “Nise-Akira” shows up partway through is irresistible for fans, isn’t it?
RewriteASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
Rewrite, one of ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s signature songs, first gained prominence as the opening theme for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist and has continued to attract attention through various tie-ins since.
The lyrics feel like a powerful outpouring of one’s unstable emotions, conveying a sense of forward momentum.
The video straightforwardly showcases the band’s performance, emphasizing energy and force.
While it features distinctive elements—like a bookshelf-like backdrop and band members floating in midair—these are not depicted too strongly, which in turn seems to accentuate the song’s drive.
A full lineup from laugh-out-loud to creative works! A collection of funny music videos (11–20)
Theory of the Mindful HeartRADWIMPS
This video features Yojiro Noda, the vocalist of RADWIMPS, walking along a riverside while singing “Yushinron,” during which various developments unfold.
As he walks, sudden phenomena occur—Noda unexpectedly doubles into two, the tree illustration changes, and more.
The key is the second Noda who appears at the beginning: when the song progresses, the footage suddenly rewinds, revealing that the second Noda from the beginning was actually singing the song’s ending.
The switches between live action and illustration, the depiction of time reversing, and the presence of another self—all the mysteries draw you deeper into the world of the piece.
Gum-Gum Girlkyarī pamyu pamyu
From the intro’s Japanese-style melody to the costumes and nuanced oriental imagery, the song “Gum Gum Girl” exudes that vibe.
Even when you read the lyrics or listen to the track, the meaning is hard to pin down, yet it absolutely feels like quintessential Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.
The music video, of course, is pure Kyary-world at full blast.
In the first and second verses the scenes shift a bit, unfolding like an old Chinese film: training, becoming stronger, fighting, and defeating the enemy.
Like the song itself, the MV is addictive—you’ll find yourself watching it over and over.
Tones of the EverydaySOUR
Hibi no Neiro,” the first track on SOUR’s debut mini-album “WATER FLAVOR EP” released in 2009.
The music video starts on a computer screen, where the band members appear as if connected via webcams.
Then the performance begins, the singing starts, and here’s where it gets amazing: in sync with the drum beats, the number of screens rapidly multiplies, and many people appear within a single frame.
It gets even more impressive from there—the split-screen layout is cleverly arranged so the images connect, weaving together a visual story.
It’s no wonder the MV won various awards.
Since 2020, with stay-at-home measures, remote work, and webcam footage becoming commonplace, it feels even more astonishing that this MV was made back in 2009.
Make sure you study up, okay?zutto mayonaka de ii no ni.
It features colorful, dynamic animation that expresses the worldview and emotions depicted in the lyrics.
A key point is the repeated section at the beginning; by showing the world expanding out of this repetition, the theme of change emphasized in the lyrics is conveyed more strongly.
The protagonist, who initially wears a listless, unmotivated expression, gradually shifts to a desperate, determined look as the song and story progress, suggesting the strength to take a step forward.
Precisely because the visuals are colorful and light, they gently communicate the importance of change.
