YORUWA HONOKA (Night is Faint) - Eve MV 

Hello everyone! Zemyata here. I’m the basement-bounded animator in charge of this MV! どうも皆さん！Zemyataです。このMVを担当したアニメーターです！とても楽しい制作工程でした、Eveさんと一緒に手がけられて光栄に思っています。僕がこのMVを描くのを楽しんだのと同じくらい皆さんにも観るのを楽しんでもらえたら嬉しいです！

Half the people here: Fans of E ve. The other half: Fans of Zemyata.

この曲聴けば聴くほど沼にハマっていく不思議なんだけど、そういう人達いっぱいいた。

everyone is talking about how good the song is and the animation, but how is no one talking about the bassline? it fits so well and its so well played too.

Don’t let this banger of a song distract you from the fact that eve is showing off the newest animator they trapped in the basement

Eve's animators in the basement: "I've lived another day again, how many years does this make.."

夜は仄か 歌詞 (自分用) 0:19 今日も生きてしまったな これで何年 息を吐くように吐いた嘘は何千 這い蹲(つくば)って　けんもほろろになって 目が回るわ 0:33 そのかかとすり潰した靴でどこ行くの 蔑んだその目を閉まっておくれよ 紫煙(しえん)を燻(くゆ)らせる 染みついた部屋で一人 仄日(そくじつ)は切なく あなたに寄り添い 0:53 今すぐに言いたい 痛い 浮ついた花心 哀 会いたい言葉が 焼き増しした記憶を辿り 1:05 寂しい星を待って 愛されたいを知ってしまった少年 夜空を見上げたなら 今踊って さよならを謳って 希(こいねが)うまで 1:25 誰にも言えない秘密があって 笑顔の裏には影があって 知らない自分を知って欲しいんじゃなくて そうじゃなくて 1:39 あの時ドキドキする胸の高鳴りは 凍(い)てつく心を溶かしてしまえたら この手をすり抜ける　陽だまりの中で独り 仄日(そくじつ)は切なくあなたに寄り添い 1:58 真っすぐに誓い 痛い　浮ついた水心 愛　咲いた花びら 散りゆく最期までを僕に 2:10 寂しい星を待って 愛されたいを知ってしまった少年 夜空を見上げたなら　今踊って さよならを謳って　希(こいねが)うまで 2:27 寂しい星を待って 愛されたいよ少年 夜は仄(ほの)かになって 2:43 寂しい星を待って 愛されたいを知ってしまった少年 夜空を見上げたなら　今踊って さよならを謳って　希うまで 3:02 今日も生きてしまったな　これで何年 ただなんだか気分はいいみたいだ。

The fact that the animator even knows our inside joke about Eve locking up animators in his basement 😩😩😂

I seriously still cannot believe that this was animated by one person only

なぜか少年の笑顔が印象的、この笑顔を観にきてしまう。

夜は仄か、3周年おめでとう。

It feels strange to see an Eve MV where the city is not destroyed

We didn't see cities get destroyed, but we *DID* see Eve's second specialty: putting everything underwater

My man actually yearns to escape depression, how beautiful

今日も聴いてしまったなこれで何年

We're so proud of Zemyata, he started doing animation memes and loops and now here we are. He's now working with Eve.

Eve fans rushing to make jokes about the artists in the basement be like:

2:15 the transition from chest-singing to head-singing is SO smooth, and it's very difficult. Such incredible talent!!

EveさんのMVに出てくる人外ちゃんたちって名前がついていてかわいい！ 推しキャラ決められないなぁ。

EVEEEEE!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

The animation of this video made by one guy with an ipad is better than the whole s3 of seven deadly sins

Don't you just hate when you're washing clothes when your personal demons come to torment you

推しがユニットで歌ってて知ったこの歌、イントロから夜感あるのほんとかっこいい

that one person who disliked this is probably so excited/hyped that they clicked the wrong button lmao

I've been seeing a lot of comments mention that this is a character struggling with depression, and I can totally see that and more or less agree, but I have yet to see anyone mention the fan death symbolism. It's far less common of a superstition in the west, but in the east there's a belief that if you stay in a closed room with fans and no open windows for long periods of time it causes nausea, asphyxiation, facial paralysis, and death. And with all the fans in the music video combined with the fact the MC gets better when the window is opened it's easy to see where a good chunk of the sinister fan imagery is intersecting with a cultural fear. Not to say it's got nothing to do with depression symbolism or anything, but I thought that might help explain all the fans for us westerners.

ありがとうございます！

イントロの重低音から離れられないわぁ

X: A single person can't do smooth animations you need a whole team. Zemyata: *Hold my 9 months sleep.*

Eve: announce new song Me: *Oh my god. Okay it's happening everybody stay calm*

低音の中毒性がヤバすぎる。 もうとにかくかっこいい。

久しぶりに戻ってきた。夜に聞くと重低音とEveくんの声が染みてきて何故か泣ける。どこかの裏の世界行ったみたいな気持ちになれるからEveくんの曲本当に好き。

Theory: Similar to the speculation of a few other people, I think this MV revolves around the main character losing a close friend and being unable to cope with his death. The monster symbolises the depression/mental illness the main character is suffering from as he struggles to stay afloat. MC: the character wearing black Friend: the character wearing white 0:01 A single white pinwheel. In japan, white pinwheels are laid in honor of lost loved ones (search up Osorezan if you wanna know more) This is probably the biggest clue that shows that someone has passed away. 0:03 The monster in this story appears, who I'm just gonna call the mothman. After the friend has died, this mothman appears, symbolising the depression that the MC feels 0:05 You can see the friend surrounded by picture frames with moths in them. Moths are symbolic of death and the mysteries of the afterlife, which is why I think he has died. The scenes are also shown in the order of pinwheel, mothman then friend, which shows the death of the friend, the development of a mental illness and the thought of his friend coming back to haunt him as MC is unable to move on from his death. 0:07 The fan starts to move. Throughout the song, you can see the fans move and stop at various movements, the wind being a reminder to MC that his friend has died. This is further enforced my the fact that you can see mothman with a fan for a head at various moments like 0:48, 1:15 and 2:52 . When the fans are moving, he is remembering. * 0:20 There are a few english translations in the comments but i will be referring to the translation by tackmyn y. Lyrics: I ended up living today. How many years have passed? I ended up living today makes me think that MC doesn't want to live, “ended up” showing he has no desire to be alive. “How many years have passed” .. since the friend died? This line shows how MC is trying to cope with the death but it is eating at him and the depression is growing, making him not want to live anymore. 0:34 You can see pills, which i think are simply the medicine MC is taking to cope with his depression 0:41 Mothman (his depression) reaches his claws out towards MC but he throws a hanger at it, causing him to retreat. At this point in the story, MC is still finding ways to push his depression and thoughts of his dead friend away. 0:52 You can see mothman's head turn into a moving fan and MC appears on a hill of white windmills. Note that all the pinwheels are also spinning. Osorezan as I mentioned above is a hill in japan where (correct me if im wrong) people go to mourn the dead and they leave pinwheels there to honour them. I believe that this is similar to the mountain of pinwheels in the song. Lyrics: I want to say it right now. This painful, flippant and changing heart. Sorrowfully, my words longing for rendezvous are tracing my reprinted memories. “Longing for rendezvous” shows the MCs desire to meet his friend again. “Tracing my reprinted memories” show that MC is beginning to remember his dead friend and he is no longer able to push those thoughts away and hide from it. 1:02 MC reaches his hand out towards his friend (who is unfortunately dead) and the scene glitches, changing the friend to the mothman. This symbolises how the MC is spiralling down into despair as he longs to meet his friend again, fueling the growth of his depression. He is unable to get over the fact that his friend is no longer alive 1:06 Lyrics: Waiting for a lonely star, the boy came to have the eagerness for love. When you look up at the night sky, start dancing now, and sing the praise of farewell till you yearn for it! “Sing the praise of farewell” MC is trying to say goodbye to his friend but at this very moment, the mothman zooms over and towers over MC, taking over him. 1:09 You can see the friend dancing and behind him is mothman, showing that they are on the same side, the death of the friend birthing the mothman 1:27 MC wakes up, with pills near his hand. However, when he opens his eyes, he sees mothman looming over him, showing that at this point, the pills don't work any more. Lyrics: There’s a secret I can’t tell anyone, and behind my smile is a shadow. It’s not like that I want you to know me that no one knows… it’s definitely not like that. “Behind my smile is a shadow” the shadow of his depression. “It’s not like that I want you to know me that no one knows… it’s definitely not like that.” shows the love MC feels towards his friend and the heart ache he is feeling. 1:35 You can see mothman lie down but MC is the one who gets up after. This parallel just serves to show how at this point, him and his depression has become one and he can no longer run from his demons * 1:40 In the washing machine, you can see pinwheels, pills and his friend as well as the reflection of MC, which makes me think these are the only thoughts revolving around MCs head, Lyrics: If only my heart’s throbbing at that time could melt away your frozen heart! You’re alone in the sunshine that’s slipping through your hands, while the setting sun is melancholically drawing close to you. “Frozen heart” and “alone in the sunshine that’s slipping through your hands'' makes me think that the friend actually killed himself and MC feels guilty for not being there for him,“ If only my heart’s throbbing at that time”, but i can't be very sure of this theory because there aren't many other mentions of how the friend died. “the setting sun is melancholically drawing close to you” definitely emphasises that the friend has passed away. 1:46 Friend and mothman are fighting to get MC, showing the struggles MC is facing between either falling to depression and thoughts of his dead friend. 1:49 Mothman now has MCs heart in his claws and I think this is the turning point in the song where MC has truly collapsed under the mental weight of his friend’s passing. You can also see the friend looming over MCs shoulder in the reflection of the washing machine, showing the thoughts of his friend haunting MC. 1:52 Friend looms over MCs shoulder and whispers “hitori” which means one person or alone. This just serves to show that since his friend passed away, MC is all alone, with only his memories left to haunt him. 1:54 Immediately after MC realises that he is indeed all alone, mothman creeps up behind him, reaching his claws out and this time, MC doesn't fight back, giving in to his depression. 1:56 MC opens his eyes to find himself on the pinwheel mountain again and the scenes switch between him lying on the ground surrounded by pinwheels and pills, showing his struggle between the two. The pinwheels are still spinning, reinforcing that the suffering has not ended. 2:06 This time, when he reaches his hand out, it is towards the mothman, showing that he has given up. He closes his eyes, thinking that he no longer wants to be alive and in this scene, his mental health has completely and utterly crashed. 2:13 He wakes up again, but this time, his hands have turned into the mothman's claws and his skin is changing color, highlighting how the depression has begun to manifest and really take a toll on his body. 2:15 The water begins to leak, and MC does not bother escaping, letting himself drown. He has no hope in life anymore and his depression has driven him to suicide. Lyrics: We’re getting faint at night… His drive to live is fading away. 2:26 However, at this moment, his friend appears, pulling him out of the water and saving his life. Basically MC remembers his friend and realises that he would not have wanted him to die. The fan has also stopped, the wind that held him together has disappeared. At this moment, he finally has clarity and begins to realise that his friend is gone and that there is nothing he can do about it. There is also a quick shot of a stationary fan, right after he was saved by his friend 2:34 You can then see the back of mothman, which switches into the body of his friend with a pinwheel as a head (moving this time) , showing how the monsters he was fighting against were just manifestations of the pain MC felt losing a loved one. The scene switches to the friend and shows his heart beating, before changing to the MC, showing how his friend is resonating within him, and that MC has to live for his friend. 2:44 The washing machines explode, and water gushes out. The friend then reaches his hand out and MC swims frantically towards it. MC realises that he wants to live and that he has to live and is fighting his demons to keep himself from drowning. He grabs the hand of his friend and everything around him turns into butterflies. Butterflies symbolise change, showing how MC has come to terms with his friend's death and has accepted it. Mothman also disappears, highlighting how he has overcome his depression. Lastly, his friend turns into a teru teru bozu, which is believed to stop rain and guarantee that the next day will be sunny. This shows how his memories of his friend have turned into a protection charm for MC, promising that the rest of his life will be happy. Lyrics: I ended up living today. How many years have passed? But, somehow I’m feeling somewhat well. MC has overcome his demons and regained a desire to live, moving on from the death of his friend. 2:59 and 3:06 The fans finally stop. MC is no longer struggling with memories of his dead friend Note: At 1:46 and 2:52 you can see one of the small white characters in last dance attached to the clothing line and floating in the water! Do let me know if there is anything I missed out! This is just my theory as well, feel free to explore the meaning behind this song by yourself! *observations pointed out by lovely people in the replies!

Eve after realese this video be like: city destruction : ❌ laundry destruction : ✔️

スルメ曲なんだろうな、って思う聞くほどに味が出る

毎回思うけどさ、E veさんって高い音もきれいに出せるし、低い音もかっこいいし、すげぇよな！

MV: the city stay alive. E ve: wait, that's illegal. Zemyata: *sweats* MV: the laundry explode. E ve: fair enough.

Eve is looking at overseas creators tell your animator friends to run for their lives

Sugoooi!

特に「そうじゃなくて...」が好きです

Channel: is japanese Title: is japanese Music: is literally in japanese RU-vid auto-generated captions: *despacito*

As someone who works in a laundromat I can confirm that this is exactly what happens inside

ガチで1年ぶりに聴いたけどヤバいっすわこれ

This bassline throughout the whole song got me smiling

guys lets hurry and get this to 100m views so we can see a live film mv of eve singing whilst inside a washing machine

Another animator who will never see light again after being kidnapped by eve 😂

y'all it's been 10 months already?!! this masterpiece deserves more 😭

ベースとギターの音が気持ちいい

IM SO PROUND OF ZEMYATA! From animation memes to this!!! And animated by just one person!? Amazing!

Eveさんがすごいのは勿論のことだけど、最初のベースラインで夜を一発でイメージさせてしまう編曲者の人も天才だと思う

ライブ行ってから夜は仄かがずっと脳内で流れてる

少年が曲に合わせて歌ってるのすごく好き

＿ 人 人 人 人 人 人 人 人 人 ＿ ＞絶対みんな足でリズムとってる＜ ￣ Y ^ Y ^ Y ^ Y ^ Y ^ Y ^ Y ^ Y ^ Y ￣

Zemyata: "So what're we doing this time?" E ve: "City destr-" Zemyata: "NO! NO MORE CITY DESTRUCTION! NO MORE GIANT EXPLOSIONS! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET'S DO SOMETHING ELSE THIS TIME!" E ve: "..." Zemyata: "..." E ve: "Laundromat demon." Zemyata: "...You know what? I asked for this. Let's get to work."

I found Eve through Jujutsu Kaisen and heard the rest of his music and he DOES NOT MISS🔥🔥🔥

Eveくんの曲で、夜は仄かが一番好き。

The song: *MWAH* The rhythm: *MWAH* The animation: *MWAH MWAH* the color palette: my goodness *MWAH* the character design: *MWAHHH* the concept: *MwAh* Eve: *MWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH*

_ENGLISH TRANSLATION BY TACKMYN Y._ 夜は仄か / Faint at Night I ended up living today. How many years have passed? I’ve told thousands of lies as naturally as I breathe. I grovel and become totally brusque, oh, I feel so dizzy! Where are you going, wearing those shoes with the back squashed down? Please, won’t you close your disdainful eyes? Alone in this room stained with smoldering cigarette smoke, the setting sun is melancholically drawing close to you. I want to say it right now. This painful, flippant and changing heart. Sorrowfully, my words longing for rendezvous are tracing my reprinted memories. Waiting for a lonely star, the boy came to have the eagerness for love. When you look up at the night sky, start dancing now, and sing the praise of farewell till you yearn for it! There’s a secret I can’t tell anyone, and behind my smile is a shadow. It’s not like that I want you to know me that no one knows… it’s definitely not like that. If only my heart’s throbbing at that time could melt away your frozen heart! You’re alone in the sunshine that’s slipping through your hands, while the setting sun is melancholically drawing close to you. On this painful, flippant and kind heart,[1] which once made a vow straightforwardly, love and flower petals bloomed. Show me their scattering end! Waiting for a lonely star, the boy came to have the eagerness for love. When you look up at the night sky, start dancing now, and sing the praise of farewell till you yearn for it! Waiting for a lonely star, I want to be loved, little boy! We’re getting faint at night…[2] Waiting for a lonely star, the boy came to have the eagerness for love. When you look up at the night sky, start dancing now, and sing the praise of farewell till you yearn for it! I ended up living today. How many years have passed? But, somehow I’m feeling somewhat well. T/N: [1]: Probably referring to a Japanese proverb 魚心あれば水心 (lit. If a fish is friendly toward water, water will be kind to the fish too.), which is equivalent to «Scratch me and I’ll scratch you.» But it’s also notable that 水(water) sometimes means «uncertain» in Japanese, as you can confirm in words like 水物. [2]: Had it not been for the official English title «Faint at Night», I would’ve translated this line as «The night is growing faint…» HI GUYS!!! IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS THE TRANSLATION, YOU FIND THE ERRORS, OR JUST WANT TO PERSONALLY THANK TACKMYN, THEN WRITE TO HIM IN THE COMMENTS: tack700321822 . wordpress . com/2021/04/30/夜は仄か-faint-at-night/ JAPANESE IS HIS NATIVE LANGUAGE. AND HE PASSED EIKEN Grade Pre-1 IN 2020. BUT MISTAKES ARE STILL POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO SUCH AUTHORS! I JUST ASKED HIM FOR A TRANSLATION. THANKS A MILLION o(☆▽☆)o

好きで今も定期的にきてます

The animator knowing our inside joke about them being locked in a basement is either them just joking... *or a cry for help.*

Fans: Making animators jokes. Animators: Why aren’t you helping us, We thought you found out Eves darks secret.

ZEMYATA BLINK TWICE IF THEY ARE HOLDING YOU HOSTAGE-

この曲公開されてから毎日3~10回欠かせずこの曲聴いてるんだけど同士います？

この曲もっと伸びていいと思う人　　　　　　　　　　　　　 ↓

Eve くん曰く、 この曲は案件などの制約が全くなく、自分のやりたい音楽を思いっきり自由に作ることが出来たそうです (2021,5,1のツイキャス)

Zemyata: "So, how many head bops do you want in this MV?" Eve: "Yes"

2、3年前ぐらい前にきいて好きだったんだけど、なぜかいつの間にかこの曲を忘れててふと急に思い出して題名も歌手も忘れてたけど、なんか絵柄が特徴的で薬物(？)みたいなこととかeveさんは思い出せてとうとう見つけたwやっぱいい曲だな

くそっ！ また沼にはまっちまったぞ！？

海外の人が増えても、日本人でもちょっと難しいって思う歌詞をかいてくの好き

Disclaimer-"No cities were destroyed during the making of this" *surprisingly*

ズキンちゃんちっちゃくて、目がクリクリしてて、袖フリフリしてるの超カワイイやんとか思ってたら、最後のサビで手を差し伸べるシーン超イケメンで心臓にクリティカルヒットした

自分の去年の誕生日4月30日にこのMVが出され、勝手にEveさんからの誕プレと捉えてから1年。この神曲も私も1年歳を重ねました🥳

Eve: Releases new song Everybody: Let's pray for the animators in his basement...

Eve : Hey I make A new Music And I will choose overseas animators Overseas animators : oh no It's him

This is probably in my top 5 for Eve music videos. The bounciness, visuals, and music all go so well together

浪人を耐えるのに助けてくれる歌の一つだな。歌詞の意味をさておき耐えて見せるって強い感情がこれ聞くたびに込み上がるから辛い時に聞くとええんだよなこれ ぜってぇ受かるぞ！

2 words: Dee-eep Deep bass Deep voice Deep story You gotta listen to this with some good headphones

POV: *you’re already screaming even though the song hasn’t been released yet*🙂

0:01が一番好き　重低音永遠と聞ける

Eveさんの声は、高音が綺麗なのはもちろん低音の響きも聴いていてとても心地よくて大好きです^ ^

3年くらい新曲を待ちに待たされたような感覚がある

ZEMYATAAAA YOU’RE GOIN PLACES THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL

Eveくんの曲って明るい曲でも暗い曲でも泣けるし心に染みる...いつも救われてますありがとう

リズム感が神だよな。

Having the characters bouncing to the rhythm 50% of the time really elevates both the animation and the music. How does Eve keep getting the top tier animators??

Translation: (Taken from a website) Wait for a lonely star A boy who knew that he wanted to be loved If you look up at the night sky, dance now Say goodbye There is a secret that anyone can not say There is a shadow on the back of the smile I do not know I do not know It is not like that The chest of the chest to be iodine If you melt the frozen heart One in the sun who slips out this hand I’m relieved to you Vow straight Painful float Love bloomed petals To me until the end of the scattered Wait for a lonely star A boy who knew that he wanted to be loved If you look up at the night sky, dance now Say goodbye Wait for a lonely star I want to be loved Become huge at night Wait for a lonely star A boy who knew that he wanted to be loved If you look up at the night sky, dance now Say goodbye I have lived today too

遊生夢死聴いてから戻ってきた同志おらん？

Oh man how did I miss out on this for so long. This song hits on different levels. Absolutely in love with this 💜✨

Eve:Hey guys i made a new song! The animator:*chuckles* im in danger

Eve: releases a mv without destroying the cities Me:*confused noises*

この曲を暗い気持ちの朝に聴くと、まあいっか〜みたいないい意味で力を抜けさせてくれるからとても助かってる！

希うなんて言葉聞いてこともなかった... Eveくんの歌を聴くだけでホントに色んなことを学べる

This man can literally never make a bad song

beautiful animation!

The beat is so catchyyyy From vocal to beat to animation, everything is just perfect as always. I love Eve!!!!!!

歌詞を一切見てなかったから、出だしが｢今日もイキってしまったな これで何年｣だと思ってた

Zemyata did the animation holy shit????? They've gotten this far so fast!!!

外国人コメ多すぎて日本人のコメが全然見当たらない笑でもそれだけ世界でEveくんファンがいるってことだよね。Eveくんさすが。すごくかっこいい自慢の推し様ですわ

Eve君の曲恋愛系意外と多いことに最近気づいた。。全部めっちゃ歌詞共感!!

最初は全然好みじゃないと思ってたけど オヌヌメに出てきたら聞いてを繰り返して歌詞を覚えてしまった これはもう沼ってるんだろうなぁ 抜けらんないなぁw
