[MegaCcurry]

Literally the coolest girl band I’ve ever seen

[nikytamayo]

Camera guy is the low-key MVP here. I'd be afraid of losing an eye in all that flying chaos.

That was even madder than the single-take train choreo!

[hubertvictorino]

I love how this is basically students having a breakdown before a test.

[IAmSpiid]

80 percent of the song is just random japanese terms, but it's still fucking amazing😂

[YK-werf]

"i keep writting and writting and forgetting"

Yea i felt that

[nb]

this is so incredibly weird but in such a good way. the changing of singing tones represents instability, the repetition is insanity, the big words are turmoil, and it all builds up to her fading away into oblivion!? nawww this entire music video is art. we gotta get the mitski stans over here or something cause i just know they’d appreciate this.

[shenoko]

This song just teached me 10+ japanese proverb

[kylevinluan]

Single take?! Damn they really improved and still improving

So great. I hope they retain this hard jazz sound from their first 2 albums at least from time to time and don't go exclusively for electronica as they push into western markets.

When you're actually looking at adults, lol! At first I really thought they're still in high school
