-- Lyrics --

パラララッパッパラッパッパ
パラララッパッパラッパッパ
パラララッパッパラッパッパ
パラララッパッパラッパッパ

宇宙カラスのひり出す隕石を　ホホ
十二の星座に夢見た弓矢で射抜く
ああ　眠りの王女に当たらぬお出迎え　ハハ
ラララララ

宇宙に飛び出す奇形の稚魚に
狙いを定めて爆弾撃つよ
鱗の破片を星座に描いてさ
ホラ　キラキラしている

三途の河口を銃弾で埋めて
あの世とこの世を砂漠にしよう
ちぎれた眼をからっ風に吹かせてさ
ホラ　君を見つけるよ

ああ　水の子木の子火の粉の大文字　ホホ
おお　6000度の花の蜜を吸う蝶々
ちゅうちゅう　ごうごう　ララ

パラララッパッパラッパッパ

宇宙に広がる星を集めて
狂った小鳥に撒いてあげましょう
ぐるぐるお目目をキラキラ輝かせ
飛ぶ黒点の果てに

三途に沈んだあの子の塵を
天使の骸で羽根首飾り
真っ赤なブーケを地獄で渡せたら
ホラ　ずうっと寂しくない

Hi guys! Thank you for watching!! I’d like to say some things about this music video:

1. This is my first (actually) animated MV! It almost took me 4 months (including breaks) to produce this animation, plus around a month of storyboard scripting (thank you for all the help NiknAkn0!!) and setting up things such as reference sheets and practicing animation and movements. Was quite a lot of work and I felt so happy to finally complete this huge project!
2. This whole thing was made on Clip Studio EX alone and exported on a free editor. So ye it basically has no editing lol but I think it’s more unique like this.
4. I used the translation from the Lyrics Wiki for the subtitles. I changed one of the lines “look, I found you” to “look, I’ll find you” to fit the narrative of the MV better. I am a beginner in Japanese but from my knowledge and Deepl’s results, this can also make sense with the original Japanese line. If you are Tapewormreverie (the original translator) who is reading this and want me to change that line back to original/take down the subtitles, please let me know and I’ll do the changes accordingly. (update: Tapewormreverie is okay with the subtitle s change so it will stay as it is)

I still adore the animation of this. It fits the bounciness, as well as the darker undertones of the song.

[SoftForecast.]

I kinda feel like the way they express thier feeling tough thier fireworks, but always gets hurt when she throws one cuz they can never get far enough away, so she always blows up too. To the point where she’s oppressed her feelings and eventually gets rid of her “fireworks” (the butterfly)

[fairytonic]

Y'all don't understand how excited i am ragghghghh

[charybdis]

Translator here! (Tapewormreverie) This is awesome! No need to change the subtitles, you're good :) amazing animation!!

[jonahisbird]

Bro how did this only get recommended to me 9 months later?? 😭 This is incredible I'm seriously flabbergasted. I remember seeing your MV for Oishii Tamashii and falling in love with your style. This was so creative and colorful while still retaining the dark themes of the song. And all the little details its just like augh!! ❤ Sorry I'm just blabbing at this point but I genuinely love this so much! Thank you for creating it!
