Illustrator Rurunbu participated in the video production. The resulting visuals, which evoke the gentleness of a picture book and the nostalgia of a film, leave a warm feeling even amidst the sadness.
Please enjoy the world depicted in "Normal" along with the music video.
— Comment from Tomonari Sora —
This time, in order to convey the feelings I put into the song more deeply, I took on the challenge of creating the story and structure myself for the first time.
The music video is set in a shopping district in a ruined world. It tells the story of a dog walking through the district and discovering fragments of memories from days gone by.
The song "Normal" deals not only with the sadness of parting with a loved one, but also with the poignancy of letting go of ordinary days, and the preciousness of those everyday moments.
I aimed to create a story that would resonate with everyone as something universal.
And the person who created that worldview is illustrator Rurunbu. Her gentle, picture-book-like style, combined with a nostalgic feel reminiscent of a film, further expanded the world of the song.
The story juxtaposes the loneliness of reality with vivid memories of the past. Within this contrast, many intricate details are embedded.
Please enjoy every detail of the video.
