ABOUT
A girl raised to be a proper, old-fashioned young lady looks into her mirror and decides to stop living by other people's idea of beauty. Song by song, she "decorates" herself with everything she loves — and the world around her transforms with her: from an endless runway through city streets, a deep-sea dive and a hidden Japanese house, to a brand-new world painted in her own colors. Mixing tradition and Reiwa-era pop, this music video celebrates a simple message: decorate yourself, and the world changes too. "Reiwa no Hana" — the flower of Reiwa — blooms freely, her own way.

PROCESS
Boarded first, generated second. Before any image was made, I wrote the story beat-by-beat against the lyrics and the song's timing, then built shot designs and Canva boards for every section — from the old-fashioned girl at her mirror to the final world "painted in her own colors." Each outfit and world got a fixed design sheet (character, costume, props, and a background definition for the final world). Every keyframe was graded against those sheets, not against "does it look pretty": same costume, same compact, same light as the previous cut. For hard shots I blocked the camera in a simple 3D previs first, then generated keyframes from it. Numbers, roughly: ~720 design and keyframe images and ~256 video generations for the first cut. 64 clips survived and were upscaled to 4K; the final edit is 67 cuts over 171 seconds. Around 470 files sit in "rejected" folders — castles that appeared out of nowhere, hands that flipped sides, backgrounds that melted mid-shot. The brushup was about subtraction. A pink bunny keychain kept reappearing on the hero's hip across 11 street-dance clips. Instead of regenerating them, I removed it with Runway Aleph: first cleaning single frames, then feeding those clean frames back as keyframes so the fix held for the whole clip (~44 edit passes). I also re-cut the edit to land on the song's beats and replaced a few weak transitions with new generations. What I threw away: anything that looked good but broke continuity.
