Music video

The music video, showing Aimyon in a shaded room and skateboarding in the streets, was filmed in Shanghai and directed by Tomokazu Yamada.[3] Yamada commented that "Our inner feelings change by the colours and lights of the townscape. We filmed the video to showcase wanting to advance those unchanging feelings toward someone. They become the light, the shadows and the atmosphere."[3]

It has more than 200 million views on YouTube. It was also used in a Japanese commercial for Google Search.[4]
