The visuals especially the underwater sequences were stunning. Didn't feel the song too much but it did flow well with the imagery.

I knew nothing about this movie when the mv showed up in my sub box, so the whole time I was just praying "God please these visuals are too high-budget to be just a music video, please let this be for a movie or anime series, PLEASE" haha

I am so so glad that I was right! Hopefully this movie will be successful enough that they decide to bring it overseas and show it in Western theatres >< I feel like seeing this on the big screen would make a huge difference

I listen to Bootleg almost everyday. I love Kenshi Yonezu and this song is him at his best. The images go really well with the song too. I can't wait to see this movie.

Well color me impressed, this was actually quite amazing. Really hope to see more like this in the future unlike most of the junk that actually ends up on this site instead.

I clicked on this song without realizing what it was the theme for, and I really want to see this movie too. Anyway, considering the film, of course it looks gorgeous, you'd be hard pressed to find anything that looks as pretty as this. But that's not to the music video credit, since it's just taking the from the movie. What matters is if they use the scenes to match to the music, and they thankfully do sync up. The lead in to the first chorus going up to the stars is brilliant, best moment of the video there. There's a few other good moments like at 3:16-3:18, where it cuts to the girl when the vocals kick in or at 3:10 how she closes her fist in sync with the drum(?) hit. Or at 1:40 how the beat matches with the lightning and at 1:50 how it's timed with them diving in the water. The segment from 1:17 until about 1:40 every piano key is accompanied with a scene transition of sorts (in the later half, it's technically the same scenes, but different animation cuts each time). If you're going the AMV style, this is how you do it.

I'm actually not all that crazy about the song, but it's not bad. 7/10 overall.

Dude, that was so good! I got goosebumps just from the visuals!
Kenshi Yonezu's songs are always amazing, and the MV's are godly.

Wow.

Beautiful video, but the song is pretty average.
