After getting this in my recommendeds almost 5 years ago, I looked more in Wataru Uekusa's work, watching fake! fake! and himitsu spark and really loving a crow is white's music. All thanks to this video!
Just rediscovered this video nearly 10 years after it was originally posted, and without knowing had been enjoying even more of Uekusa's work. Between a crow is white, FLCL Alternative, and Digimon Cyber Sleuth, it really feels like I've grown up alongside this work. Thank you so much for this beautiful video, it still fills me with wonder!
The way she evolved from a tadpole while running to touch/destroy the green monster made me think of how sometimes you have to readjust your entire life in order to deal with a problem. Like she was starting over. I’m assuming that wasn’t the intention, but I thought about how my life started over (in a way) when I finally found the right medication and got therapy. Stopped using social media and started talking to different people. Gained a whole new relationship with my family. Edit: the black beam “shooting” her in the head at the beginning is the source of her trauma/problem, I just realized I enjoy watching this, I’m able to understand things better and notice new things since I’m older. Really neat experience.
I loved this! What I got from the video was a young artist in the making, how everyday objects kept influencing her drawings and her original drawing but she keeps her original drawing in mind through out her life to see how she's improved.
Keep in mind this was made by college students... Where are the people who made this now? I need to hug these guys for a fantastic job (and a pleasant piece of my childhood) XD.
Three years later, but this should be a decent answer. The song in this video is Miss Parallel World by Soutaiseiriron, which you can find on Spotify (And probably other music streaming services). Their music has a distinct and refreshing style! The animation is by Wataru Uekusa, who had done many other music videos. He's done a couple for the band Karasu wa Masshiro (A Crow Is White) for their songs fake!fake! and HIMITSUスパーク. He's also worked on a few anime credits sequences, with his most notable probably being from Punchline in 2015. A more detailed rundown on his works can be found on his MyAnimeList page here: myanimelist.net/people/20609/Wataru_Uekusa
This is one of the most incredible animated music videos I've ever seen. This is exactly how I would make my animations. It's wonderful, this deserves so much more which is why I'm kind of promoting it by adding it to my "Serious videos (parody of important videos)" playlist!
I think it's about dealing with one's problems. She has some massive issue that she's been trying to deal with her whole life, represented by the giant monster. It's constantly in her head, eating at her, and she keeps avoiding it (walking from left to right). She comes across smaller problems (represented by the other animals and creatures starting with the dog). Overcoming these problems give her strength and give her hope that she can overcome her problem, so she faces it (Walking from right to left). But she is always unable to, being blown away and forced to face it all over again. Eventually as she deals with life and grows more and more as a person, all the problems she's overcome finally help her overcome her biggest one finally being able to push past the storm of attacks and dealing with her issue, and in the end it implies that it too will help her grow and evolve (the monster's corpse growing butterfly wings). Problems may seem evil and malicious when we're facing them but as we grow and move forward as people they're what truly help us become something special. I wish I could go more into my thoughts on the video but that's the rough idea I have on it.
this video makes you take your time and write a comment and im glad that someone thinks like me that im not that weird right? im not saying you are weird but . that is weird . . . in a good way . . . im not saying i like you b-baka
Oh my God. I mean... wow. I have never cried at a UA-cam video before, let alone a comment. This is not even that ground breaking a thing, but with how everything just fits together, there is some hope in this joke of a life. Thank you, be I several years late and overanalysing too much, but thank you.
I still think about this video and come back to it multiple times a year. I first found this about 10 years ago in middle school and I loved and still love everything about this video, it's kinda nostalgic in a sense. I will never forget this.
I'm very glad to finally find this video on UA-cam! I attended an anime show in the Kyoto Manga Museum and this was by far the best animated and most thought-provoking animation I saw there.
I can think of two interpretations of the green creature. It could be a person she met when she was young and couldn't forget him(?) as she grew up. Meeting new people, finding new hobbies still didn't obliterate the thought of that person, so she tried to destroy all memories and yet, in the end he reappears. The second possibility is that the creature is her mind - confused, sometimes wanting to destroy society. She is trying to find her place and as she matures she fights the bad thoughts.
Curlysamurai Alternatively, it could be of an idea. Of a concept that someone creates? And the idea - the giant green thing - takes over the person's every attempt to create something new; it always overshadows. No matter how hard she tries to make something better, it always looks smaller and insignificant, always compared to what she had created once - something she tried to kill off even. The alternate ideas she comes up with look similar to it and aren't getting the attention she wants, and it's hard NOT to think about it. In the end, she triumphs with everything she put her heart into, managing to create a newer and better idea, and finally putting the old one to rest. Then again, I could be projecting gahaha On the other hand, the green monster could be some bullshit trend or idea that everyone notices and she's trying to triumph over it with something she thinks is better. Takes her the entirety of her childhood to actually manage, though.
+Shakes Shigsm (貴腐人) to add on to your idea of a trend, I think it is more of a fandom she is trying to escape. All of her ideas come from an outside source, but as she grows up,she tries to escape the shadows of that fandom sorts and be original. she finally manages it to create her own ideas, even though it takes along time and she finally escapes from the shadow someone else created
i think the green creature is a bad thought and the other creatures that are better thoughts, but she forces herself to think about them while the green thing (bad thoughts) come to her mind more and more and more and she can't quit thinking about it, when she finally reaches it, the bad thoughts are gone for a moment but they return just a little while later and even when she is surrounded by nice things she can only think about something sad
Song is called "Miss Parallel World" lyrics- Came to a secret organization When news of the eight very Approaches to urban crisis Approaching a huge crisis Time to come with me if Experience a broken world Approaching crisis of the times Become things of Kitai After school suddenly flash through telepathy (sympathy) I also meet with you in the distant future Central Tokyo Parallel parallel parallel parallel parallel parallel world ...etc
I personally think it's about how the girl has little to no thought about the world and accepts it, as she grows more and more thoughts come to mind, up infill I gets to the point where she doesn't care or want to accept the world she is in (probably why things were monochromatic in one shot) then the learns to accept the world for what it is and tries to do her best to be part or fix the world she is in on the last scene
k so heres what happens she has so many things on here mine that they open her mind is super tired so she makes things happen and the people persona or something they help her kill the bad thing *U*
my personal interpretation of this video is that she's dealing with a learning disability, specifically ADD. The way that she's kicking back and forth in her chair until she falls over is fidgeting (people with ADD have trouble sitting still) , and the scenes with the soccer ball hitting her suggests she isn't paying attention to her surroundings. Also, all of the animals following her around signify the way her mind never stops thinking and can never focus on what she's supposed to be doing. Maybe the weird monster in the background is a visual representation of her disability? It might be learning in general. It seems to me that a lot of the things in this video are visual metaphors for struggling to succeed in a structured and organized society like japan with a disorganized disorder like ADD. Idk.
I've been trying to find this video forever, but I can't go off lyrics and thinking about the name only makes me remember "the ???? March" and the part that repeats during the main hook
Awesome short, just like your other works. Great animation and I really loved the style! Congratulations. Hope this gets many views and you keep uploading here ;D!
I think is what's happening is that the girl is having hallucinations based on every day things. The explosions come from her cigarets, the green creatur looks like grass so it's from grass, and the tail-less dog thing comes from the dog that she saw. She can't get away from the (which is why she's so angry about it) and constantly tries to get away. But she's convinced that what she sees is coming from another dimension, a parallel world.
It seems to be about nicotine addiction, its always on her mind and eating at her thoughts no matter what she tries to think about instead unless she takes a smoke. The final part where she destroys it is reminiscent of a cigarrette burning out, and the green creature is shaped like a cigarrette
小学校6年生の時に虐められてて何故かこの動画に辿り着いて毎日聞いてた
聞いてる間は頭が空っぽになって、心が落ち着いてた
今思えばあの当時この動画に救われてました
もう大学生になっちゃったけど、もう一度この動画に巡り会えて良かったです。
久々に聞くかい？
この動画5年ぐらい探し続けてた。
久しぶりに探してみるかい？
@ おいおいおい、4年ぶりにまた出会っちまったぜ。ありがとう。
モンダイナイトリッパーに所々引用してる表現があって、植草さんがこの頃から地続きでアニメーションを作り続けていることになんか感動した
航さんの絵と相対性理論さんの音楽が合わさるとどんな世界でも超えられそうな気がした…
Poético.
Snail's HouseとのコラボレーションMVを見てここに戻ってきました。Snail's House のMVの後半がなんだかこのMVを想起させるようなものだったのでなんだか勝手に感動してしまいました。植草さんのアニメーション、大好きです！🥲✨
このコメントでSnail's houseの存在を知りました、勝手ながら感謝しています
この世界感すごいな
I didn't know this existed. I've been listening to Sōtaisei Riron for years yet I didn't come across this magnificent piece of art til now.
もっと早く出会いたかった。
今日出会えた。
Already 12 years of this? I can't belive it!
I could listen to Etsuko Yakushimaru's voice all day
+subarashiineko1 me too
i do, the headphones are stuck

Truly we have all been vibing in the midst of disaster for even longer than 11 years ago when this came
so many good theories
this looks like an homage of FLCL or Fooly Cooly, still an awesome short
k so heres what happens she has so many things on here mine that they open her mind is super tired so she makes things happen and the people persona or something they help her kill the bad thing *U*
회사에서 힘들때 먼가 내게 상상력과 꿈을 주었던 노래
Thanks for making me feel better
is she saying "parallel world"?
Yeah, the original song is "Miss Parallel World" by Soutaiseiriron
it's "parareru waar"
No, no, she is saying:
Parareruparareruparareruparareruparareruparareruwarudo

Nice NGE reference! I'am sorry for find it now...
Etsuko Yakushimar IS GREAT!
I love the animation and the song its really cool
Watched this video at Anime Fiesta Asia Malaysia yesterday.
Congratulations, I really like this!
And great song choice :)
this song woke me up from the preview video in AFAM, and it rocks lol !!
Shoutouts to Tokyo University of the Arts!
Es buenísimo, se te re pega el tema. Gracias kala radio

Wait, this is Etsuko Yakushimaru? Damn, as if I didn't love her enough already.
Yep it's her
The ending of Punch Line reminds me of this.
Same artist. He also did the music videos for Karasu wa Masshiro's Fake! Fake! and Himitsu Spark, you should check them out if you like his art
sheimeix Wow no wonder the similarities were so noticeable. Sweet stuff :)
JJtoob it shouldn't be the same artist as fakefake, since this is by an entire university.....
Nice art!
This is really fantastic.
omg, that was freakin' awesome

I was just about to ask about the song. Where could I find it, it doesn't seem to come up in iTunes and it really got into my head.
Search for Etsuko Yakushimaru
And Soutaisei Riron
This I like.
Looks like something akin to Fooly Cooly
Gj guys!

Rewind that video to 00:10, mute the original track, and turn that music on in the background ua-cam.com/video/ghMUMdhbYyg/v-deo.html. Enjoy
cool
I guess that's because I'm stupid. He he....he...
reminds me of FLCL
I don't think it is foolycooly. But it's has that same style that foolycooly has ^~^
