In Reverse

(Partially machine-translated)

Collaboration with Mam_boo, a Vocaloid composer and a trumpeter again. It is a snappy march with the theme of time reversal and water. I’m happy he has created an interesting song worth making a music video.

I took care not to mess up the outlines of the characters by thinking, “What would be a good enough level for TV?”

The song is very rhythmical, so it was interesting to match the rhythm with the animation. I especially like the part before the first chorus where the three marchers line up in a row. (I always try to make various things in the music video go along with the rhythm.)

I have been thinking for a while that Mam_boo’s music really doesn’t allow for the reuse of scenes (not that I don’t like it). It is common in Minna no Uta(Songs for Everyone, a five-minute Japanese TV show) and Vocaloid music videos to use the same scene for choruses and intervals, but in his songs, the nuance is different even in the same parts like the first chorus and the second one.

I would like to thank Mr. Mam_boo again for the collaboration, as well as all my friends who gave me some advices.
