Turning UpARASHI
This work, which kicks off with a breaking news alert, might make you think, “What are they talking about?” but for now it’s a PV I really want you to watch.
The footage, packed to the brim with scenes of the ARASHI members dancing and singing in various places, evokes the very essence of ARASHI as a group that has continued to expand its influence until now.
AuroraBUMP OF CHICKEN
It’s a single drama—that’s the best way to describe this PV.
The first thing depicted is a multitude of people collapsed on the ground.
We can only imagine what happened, but among the lifeless bodies, one person—a girl—alone survives, clinging to the fallen and crying out.
Interwoven at times, like flashbacks, are scenes from happier days that relentlessly emphasize the cruelty and emptiness of the present.
Then the girl takes up a sword, rises to her feet, and starts to run.
What this symbolizes is up to you to interpret—this is a piece you should watch while immersing yourself in the song.
Pop VirusGen Hoshino
It’s a music video that begins with the sound of rain and a train, seemingly tinged with loneliness.
Hoshino Gen sings in the subway—if you put it simply, that’s all there is to it.
But gradually, more passengers join in, and by the end, people of all ages and races are smiling and having fun.
Simple yet shot in a long take, it’s a work with a clear message.
Like this tonightAimyon
It’s the theme song for the drama “Kemoni Narenai Watashitachi” (We Cannot Become Beasts).
In the music video filmed in Tokyo, you can see Aimyon in various scenes—standing, sitting, singing—on a boat and under a bridge.
It’s not a particularly elaborate production, but precisely because of that, the dedicated filming and Aimyon’s unadorned presence shine through.
It’s the kind of video that makes you think, “This song could only have this music video.”
Black sheepKeyakizaka46
It’s a piece that doesn’t even begin unless you watch it first.
It starts with a shot of a piano—up to that point, it feels like a typical opening for a music video.
But then the camera pulls back, and you realize there’s a crime scene right next to it, immediately sparking excitement and suspense about what’s going to happen.
From there, it unfolds in long takes: a series of digest-like scenes centered on Yurina Hirate, as if you’re flipping through an album.
Whether it’s the message embedded within or the difficulty of the shoot that anyone involved in filmmaking can easily imagine, this is the kind of work that is guaranteed to leave something with anyone who sees it.
