YOASOBI - Racing Into The Night / Yoru Ni Kakeru (Music Video) 

Cooool!! Thank you for cheking out our song!

This is a perfect example of "if youre happy, you enjoy the song. But if youre sad, you understand the lyrics."

3:57 bro legit hit the worm with this song playing

so for those who dont know this is a song posted by YOASOBI and it is a song about a girl who is in going to suicide and she is singing her depression, thinks the boy who fell in love with her and then they both die from jumping off a building. And these guys have made a remake of this song and it is in the memory of the person's friend who is conducting their funeral and it is the pst memory of them (According to the Song)

I love how not only does this video not only depict how most people that don’t understand the lyrics would react, but it still shows the true meaning in some of the scenes.

I love how this MV is the representation of the duality of the original MV, the upbeat and cheer tone of the music and the depressed story of the video

亡くなった親友たちとの別れを心の中で受け入れられてないから、死装束の白スーツ着て目元ピンクモザイクされてる形だけどまだ自分の傍にいる、ってことか。 遺影を飾ったことで彼らの死を自分の目で見て確かな現実として受け入れなければならなくなって初めて、白服の友人達が葬式会場から消える。 みんながいなくなった世界でこれからたった1人で生きていく絶望と孤独と喪失感が、最初の呆れるほど愉快で陽気で楽しい思い出あればこそ胸に刺さる。 心に残る映像作品を作ってくれて本当にありがとう！ もっと早くにおすすめ動画として出会いたかったよ！なんで今日なんだ！

急にオススメに出てきた ナニコレ珍百景だわ

IVE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS

The Lyrics: 🔪💀🩸⛓ The Beat: 😊🧚‍♀✨🌈

始まる前「なんだこれ…」 終わった後「なんだこれ…😭」

なにこれ、、、ばり最高やん…。 最後、涙出そうになる

Fun fact: This song is inspired by the story Thanatos no Yūwaku (タナトスの誘惑, An Invitation from Thanatos). In short, the guy sees the girl trying to jump off a building, stops her, love at first sight, every time she planned to suicide she texted him about it, he thought she wanted him to stop her, but what she really wanted is different, one day, she again tries to jump, he gets there quickly and grabs her hand, she is saying the god of death/grim reaper (Thanatos) is calling for her, he is telling her that she needs to look at him and not at the grim reaper, apparently, the grim reaper appears attractive to whoever it calls, he then asks her, why even though he loves her so much, won't she look at him, she said that she doesn't want to anymore, he said that he doesn't want this either, she said "I'm tired already", "I'm tired too" he said, "I want to die faster" she said, "I also want to die!!" he said... At that moment, when he said he also wants to die, she lifted her head, she smiled. "You finally realised?" she asked. "Ah... I finally understand" he said. "Really? That's great" she said "Ah I see, every time you planned to commit suicide and called me, it was not because you wanted me to save you... you wanted to bring me along" he said Now we understand that she wanted him to suicide with her... Why? To him, his grim reaper was her. "Well then, shall we go?" She asked "Let's go" he said "Hands held, you ane me" he said they jumped together...

Perfect example of "when you are happy you enjoy the beat, when you are sad you understand the lyrics"

楽しく見てたのに最後めちゃくちゃ心臓ぎゅってなった。なにこれめちゃくちゃ良い

記憶の中で楽しそうにしている彼らは残された人たちと違って、満足しているようで嬉しいけど、切ない。

cool!!

As a media student myself, the camera angles, perspective, script, props, sets, the church, the dutch shots, the transitions everything is perfect. 😁

歌詞とMVの雰囲気あってないなーって思いながら見てたけど最後で鳥肌たった

抱きしめた温もりでのとこちゃんと表現してるとこ好き

I know this song actually has a really sad meaning, but damn their upbeat dancing and energy make it seem 1000x more exciting and energetic

WE JUMPING OFF THE BUILDING WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

途中までは歌詞とMVの雰囲気がミスマッチすぎて笑ってたけど、最後で感想が逆転した。構成も雰囲気もめっちゃいい！

たしかに、日本語の歌詞をちゃんと口パクして、日本要素が散りばめられた映像で、ご本人がコメントしてる動画が、ただの踊ってみた動画じゃ終わらないよね しっかり本家へのリスペクトがありますわ 2:40あたりの右下の日付の描写から、ああ全部思い出なんだろうなって思えて胸が締め付けられる

I feel that guy at the funeral, you just want to let go of it all. You want to end all your suffering but then you remember there are people counting on you. To be strong, your memories keep you sane. To help you remember that suicide should never be the way. To everyone feeling pressure right now, we are here for you. Don't give up.

海外でも、素晴らしいミュージックビデオが 作られているとは…流石世界的なYOASOBI様。😊❤

I thought it was all happy, until the end where my brain just goes “oh…thats what happened…”

Story: There were seven friends, friends since grade school, the boys. On one particular boy's night out, they decided to surprise their homie (the first guy we see) as it was his birthday; They decided that they would hit up all their favourite joints and spend all night celebrating. They first hit up a sushi shop one of the boys father owned and he worked in. They ate their fill, then decided to go to their favorite arcade. They spent hours there, time seemed to fly by as they had fun. Then they bought some beer from a convenience store and went to bowling alley, challenge each other's high score for hours even though all of them except one sucked at bowling. Feeling a bit giggly, then finally decided to hit a club, but they bought no drinks since they had no cash left and they just wanted to have fun, so spent hours dancing till their legs were wobbly, showing off their weirdest moves. When they got out of the club it was way past midnight, they decided to end their rendezvous by sharing a beer each. The birthday boy decided that it would be his treat for the night and went to an ATM to take out some cash since they had none left. The other six friends went inside the convenience story still feeling a bit groovy. The store was playing "Running into the Night", they started bobbing to song a bit till they heard a loud shout. The store was being robbed by a man with an AR and a clown mask over his face, they ducked behind different racks and hid themselves. The robber was pointing the gun at the store owner and shouting to put all the money in the cash register into a plastic bag. As the robber was looking inside the cash register, one of the boys good at bowling threw a can of soup at the robber which hit him in the head. While the robber was dazed the store owner pulled out a shotgun, but the robber saw him and started shooting indiscriminately. The night ended with a total of 7 dead, the store owner survived. While the birthday boy was at the ATM, he heard multiple gunshots coming from the convenience store. He hesitated a but soon rushed to the store to find the bloody mess. One week later, the culprit (now dead) was identified and the case was closed. The funeral service was held in private with only the family members attending to avoid the media frenzy. The birthday boy (now no longer his birthday) was the only survivor among the seven. He was wrecked with guilt, thinking if only he refused the birthday plans, if only he didn't offer the beer. He had picked up smoking, he was quite the chain-smoker now. It calmed his nerves. He would never be able to celebrate his birthday now, nor would he ever forget the song he heard when he saw all his friends' corpses.

These guys should really start making a slice of life series. Just look at those actings and producings, it would definitely better than most disney live actions

原曲のテーマをリスペクトしてる作り方が良い！好き！

見始めた時この動画でこんなにカタルシス感じるとは思わなかった…

That plot twist what the heck😭 It really captured the meaning of the song! The production of this MV is so good how did they come up with this it's so good😭

Assuming these guys died the way the song implies, it really takes on a different vibe when you rewatch it. It really drives home that you might have no idea what someone is dealing with until it's too late. What seemed like carefree moments at the time become twisted in your memory when you realize what they were going through, and you can't help but wonder what you could have done to prevent this outcome.

3:28 YOOO THX FOR HAVING ME IN THE VIDEO

はじめはどこかズレた解釈で合わないMVだと感じてたけど、2回目とか見るとちゃんと表現の工夫されてて意味もよく分かった。すごくいいと思う

2:38 this scene gave me goosebumps🥶

Man I love (the anime) Men. In all seriousness you guys continue to do incredible stuff. I wish y’all a a great day and year

何これめっちゃ凄い....夜に駆けてていいね..

そういうことか〜これは伸びるのも納得

Literally no one is talking about how the translation fits the original lyrics PERFECTLY

3:08 never fails to give me goosebumps. The instant hard cut to him at the funeral as all the music cuts out was done masterfully. Bravo!

すげぇええええ…

The fact RU-vid put this in the "Anime in Action" Playlist is so wholesome

This really reflects how the song is so upbeat and happy while at the same time has darkness behind it. Great work guys!

DAAAMN the message was perfect, they even made the dead ones where white with there face covered, and the song is about the memories of all of them together what an amazing job

It's 3:15 am and I just noticed, This music video perfectly balances the happiness of the tune and darkness of the lyrics. That's brilliant

事故かテロか銃乱射か。。 リアルで起こり得るから切ない😢 めちゃくちゃいいMVだね。

I love how this music video managed to portray both the joyful and extremely upsetting parts of the song at the same time Overall, this was extremely well made

1:17 this step's too iconic

Everyone saying the video doesn't match the song. Pay attention 😭

i love how they all look like they're genuinely having fun while filming this

The production quality is insane. And also the fact you nailed like the original MV. Great job making it. This video DEFINITELY deserves TONS of million views.

10/10 This video is honestly the best thing I’ve seen produced from TheAnimeMen ever. Everything in this video was done right for me. Take for example the transitions, especially at 1:00, they were spot on and fantastic. The settings they chose too was honestly just amazing. Not to mention the Funeral scenes which were sprinkled in and added at the perfect times in the song in order to really juxtapose the happy moments from the downright grim ones. Another interesting attention to detail was Gianni’s hair growing during the funeral which adds amazing symbolism of both growth and age. The ending is phenomenal, and for the first time in a while, I got chills after seeing the camera flash to all the photos of the late friend group. I like that it’s left a little vague on what happened to the group, and the fact that their eyes were scribbled out to show that even while they still seemed there, they were inevitably just Gianni’s cross to bear. This video is just truly impeccable, and in my opinion, a genuine work of art. While TheAnimeMen found success through short skits on TikTok, videos like this shows the groups ability to create amazing pieces that are full of vibrant shots, insightful symbolism, and a thought provoking message.

this video is the perfect example of the song, it is like depressing but an absolute bop

Why is the beat of this song so good

You guys are 100% film majors I refuse to believe you aren't especially with all the camera work and lighting ur pulling off

the fact that Gianni write and direct this is AMAZING omg good job

I WILL HAVE A BREAKDOWN IF THIS GUYS GET SEPARATED

何だこれ何が起きてんだ....? 楽曲そのまま使ってるしタイトルもまんまだし訳が分からない誰か説明してくれ それにしても頑張って日本っぽいとこ探して撮影してる努力は凄い笑

For those who don’t exactly know why this song is dark let me explain: there is a girl trying to commit suicide in the anime and claims to have seen the grim reaper calling her. Then this boy keeps saving her as he loves her. She still trying to fall of the building so in the end they both fall of but the girl doesn’t die because she wasn’t real but his grim reaper 💀. So you can understand why it is so dark.

there’s no english word to describe how perfect this is. y’all captured everything beyond perfectly. perfect on all counts

The crosses hit me so hard

これはおそらく私が聞いた中で最も悲しい歌です

I cried. This is perfect. What I feel from watching them dance hapily together, having a blast, is sadness(beautiful moves from everyone tho). We know where this is going, the feeling when you watch them happy together makes you feel loneliness and sad cause you know that in the end, as the video portrayed, he won't be able to have that happiness again. Man in black (I am sorry that I do not know his name, I will call him MC) still have all his delusional friends in white, their eyes are all crossed out, he is not moving on from his friend in this moment. MC is recollecting all his beautiful time he had with his friends, the good time he had. He still sees his friends in the funeral, they even sat there, until they finally walked away and never be seen anymore after that point. Imagine how heartbreaking that would be. He can only have a blast with them in memories and it will not be a real thing anymore. This captures the fun, upbeat beat and depressive lyrics perfectly. Thank you for this beautiful video.

Today I just found this video and I just have to say... I thought it wasn't hitting the message of the song... until the second half began to show. The image of our main man remembering the good times with his friends who are now lost to him hit me like a truck. I'm so happy that Yoru no Kakera inspires people all over the world to create their own interpretation of the song, and this one was a solid HIT for me. I LOVE IT. AND I'm happy Ayase/YOASOBI loved it too! More power to you, guys!!! 💖💖💖

probably the single cleanest music video I've ever seen

1:00 is CLEAN

「思いつく限り眩しい明日」を全力で実行してるの好き

1:02 is just the best, how did it fit so well

The beat:😎 The lyrics:🏢🚶‍♂️💀

Still can’t believe this song you guys cover was a year ago

The lyrics: ⛓ 🩸🔪☠ The melody:🍭💟🦋💮 Edit: what is everyone doing here shouldn't yall be at school or work or something 💀💀

As it is said, “A person who is happy enjoys the song, A person who is sad understands the lyrics.”

Sadness,crying,heartbroken,deaths,happy moment,desperation,and old memories is in this video making me cry

The moments in the anime with the song were amazing (I think I'm gonna rewatch it)

Holy crap. Really thought y’all were gonna do this without knowing they actual lyrics. Ending hit hard and honestly put me in awe. Flawless. Just Flawless.

1:00 i love this part of the song

"MIYABE SAN"💯🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️

Bro every time i listen to this song it sounds better 😭

You guys understood the tone and meaning of the song and put it exactly into the video. Huge respect your art and dedication 💯

That whole sequence at 2:18 is amazing. Literal goosebumps when it got to the 3 at the funeral.

最初ナニコレだったけど、 最後に嗚呼そういうことかと納得した。あちらあるあるな締めにしたのか。 他のコメにもあるけど私達日本人がいかに平穏に生かされているか理解できた。

This is a full understanding of a song - the cheerfulness of the beat, and the tragedy of the lyrics.

Why is this production so good?? 😭 😭

Wait. Not going to lie, I thought this was going to be a fun music video but that ending got me so badly. My mouth just dropped. Amazing job guys! I really liked the energy and the production behind this.

すげぇー🤩

2024 anyone ?

2:47 Bro's got that Rick Astley drip

I feel like this is the culmination of all those dance videos you guys have posted over the last year. Every element is mastered - the dance moves transitioning into other shots, the correct lipsyncing, even the overall teamwork. Somehow you outdid the Beastars video. One day you’re gonna outdo this too. 10 out of 10 - The guy who sent you the Eren impression voice message and got told to please hang out with girls

1:07 it’s so smooth and beautiful

the story in the music video is incredible, hats off to you lot

honestly this song is just an absolute banger i genuinely couldn't believe the lyrics when i heard it, it sounded just so happy and full of vibe

this music video has so much depth and meaning to it. the attention to detail of the friends (the dead) standing in white suits (compared to the black suit that the one living friend is wearing). the pink scribbles on their faces like in the original music video, to the laughter and fun that they had while the friends were alive together (emphasising that energetic, happy beat that we all know from 'racing into the night') but connecting it all to the end and short shots throughout to show a meaningful, sadder message behind it. it's like how the original song does, but twisted into a new meaning. the dark colours of the funeral contrasting with the nostalgic, bright colours of the friends playing at the arcade and dancing together is an absolute 10/10 💗an absolutely spectacular music video! this deserves the 9 million views it has and more.

I love it even read all the English lyrics

The song is amazing

Wow this song is so upbeat. I’m sure they’re talking about sunshine and rainbows and how great life is!

1:08 be hittin do

How does this have an A24 vibe with those neon lights, ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT

Idk if i should cry from the lyrics sadness or of how good this is
