The story was shocking and not what I expected in the beginning at all. The mv is based of The Temptation of Thanatos. The red flashy thing in the girl’s eye represents Thanatos which is something that only she can see and something that attracts her greatly to make her wanna die. I think that Thanatos takes a different form for everyone. In the guys perspective, the girl is his ‘Thanatos’. That’s why he was attracted to the girl and dies in the end. Really had no idea it was this deep 😕 really enjoyed your video tho! Great channel ^_^
@@Patrickmordi another version is that the guy was going through rough times that he wanted to die but didn’t see a reason to die. So his mind created a girl who also wanted to die and that gave him a reason to finally do the deed. That’s why the girl is still alive at the end.
For those who are curious, the producer said this song is inspired by a short story titled "The Seduction of Thanatos". The story is about a guy whose girlfriend is attracted to 'death' and always tries to commit suicide but everytime she does, she'll contact the guy beforehand and he'll stop her. He thought that deep down, she wanted him to stop her. It's said that the god of death will resemble one's ideal person. The girlfriend said that she can see the god of death calling for her and he always hated how she seemed to be in a daze when talking about the god of death. He loves her too much and said that he'd die as well. His girlfriend then smiled at him and asked "Do you finally get it?" and he replied happily "Ah... So you were my god of death".
And since finally she loved him too, she told him that she would stay with him until the end. When he was already dead, she took his hand and kissed him one last time.
The whole story: August 15th. Although the sun had already set, there is still humidity in the air. Sweat was pouring from my body as I ran up the stairs of my apartment. [Goodbye] A LINE message with only 4 words from my girlfriend. I immediately understood what the message meant. I went to work despite today being Obon and rushed to my apartment after preparing to go home. Then I found her standing beyond the fence of the rooftop with empty eyes. To be honest, this is already the 4th time I’ve seen her trying to jump and commit suicide. There are 2 types of people in the world. Desire to live── the people being ruled by ”Eros”. Desire to die── the people being ruled by ”Thanatos”. Most of the people in this world were the former, but she was undoubtedly the latter. I knew that she was a person being ruled by “Thanatos” before I started dating her. It’s not surprising because I saved her when she was trying to commit suicide on the rooftop, similar to now. That was how I met her. She was the girl who recently moved into the same apartment as me. She had round, cute eyes and full lips. She had lovely facial features, and the delicate-looking girl stole my whole heart in an instant. I’m sure that it was something like love at first sight. From that point on, I started talking about various things with her and we soon became friends. It was as if she was an angel descending from heaven when I was living alone, feeling lonely while working in a black company. I had a doubt in my mind. Whenever she tries to commit suicide, she always contacts me. She’ll then wait there until I come to her. I think I’m more certain that she’d die alone without anyone knowing, but… Perhaps somewhere in her heart, she just wanted me to stop her from committing suicide and help her like how I did when we first met. I interpreted it in my own way. Therefore, I’m running up the stairs again this time. “Gasp, gasp…” I reached the rooftop. I saw the back of the girl who was standing beyond the fence. “Wait…!!” I jumped over the fence and grabbed her hand. Her hand was cold, contrary to the humid air. “Let go.” Her cute and fragile voice resembles the tinkle of a bell. I liked her voice too. “Why, that way, you…!” “I want to die quickly.” “Why…!” “Because the Grim Reaper is calling me.” She can see the ‘Grim Reaper’. And only people who are being ruled by ‘Thanatos’ can see the ‘Grim Reaper’. “There’s no Grim Reaper.” “Why can’t you understand…!” As I denied that the Grim Reaper existed, she cried out. The Grim Reaper seems to be the most attractive to those who see it. In a sense, it would look like their ideal person. When she was looking at the Grim Reaper (though it only seems like she’s staring at the empty sky to me), her expression seemed to be as if she was in love with someone. As if she had fallen in love with it. I hated that expression of hers. “Don’t look at the Grim Reaper, look at me.” “No…!” She tried to shake my hand off, so I forcefully gripped it without thinking. “Ouch…!” “! Sorry…” But it’s not my fault. It’s because she tried to shake my hand off. Because she won’t look at me. “The Grim Reaper wouldn’t do something like this…!” Something murky is surging in my heart. “Why…” I wonder why, even though I love you so much, you won’t look at me alone. I know it was foolish in my heart to be jealous of the Grim Reaper, but I couldn’t help it. “I don’t want this anymore.” I don’t want this either. “I’m tired already.” I’m tired too. “I want to die quickly.” “I want to die too!!” At that moment, she lifted her head up. And smiled. As soon as I saw her smile, I suddenly felt the murky thing in my heart disappear. Huh, could it be… “Have you…finally realized?” “Ahh…I finally understand.” “Really…? I’m glad…” Ahh, I see. The reason why you called me every time you tried to commit suicide, it wasn’t because you wanted me to help you. You wanted to bring me along. The ‘Grim Reaper’ for me, was her. The cool breeze blows through. Before I knew it, I could no longer feel the humid air. “Well then, shall we?” “Ahh, let’s go.” You and me hand in hand. To escape from the uneasiness that the world brings us. We ran towards the night sky.

I would like to recommend a Japanese singer to you. He is called Kenshi Yonezu. He is totally a genius, he produces most of his songs by himself. His song that called 'lemon' has 632 million views on TH-cam.
At the start it sounds like it’s 2 am and you don’t want to wake up anyone. No hate, this is a really good video but I just thought that it was funny how you’re whispering.
imply that the guy falls in love with this girl and tries to save her from her suicidal urges, but she ends up poisoning his life and he ends up choosing to end it with her...
I know I'm late but a summary of this cause I don't want to do a novel, basically this is based on a novel called "Thanatos Seduction" where the guy has Thanatos disease, which is a rare disease that hallucinate's Thanatos the God of death, so the girl is MC's death/grim reaper and yeah the plot twist the girl didn't even exist, it was all a hallucination, the girl is Thanatos herself so the boy just jumped to his death.

this is such a good explanation! i had to check back 5 times to realize how deep this song was!
I've found another good reactor.
I like your calmness.
From Japan
Wow, thank you! thats a wonderful compliment（☆ω☆*）
It's the lyrics about suicide by jumping. If you look at the video and the lyrics together, it's pretty simple, so you can understand it.
thank you for the clarification! i was vibing soo much to the melody and how strong she is using her voice!!
@@Patrickmordi correction double suicide lol
@@64hz32 yeah someone explained, it's based on the novel Thanatos' temptation. really interesting i checked it out! have a nice day!

It’s about Seduction of Thanatos
