Kaitan no Susume

Imagine what happens when Tokyo Manaka, Hashimero, and 9Lana walk into an animation studio together — what comes out is a music video that feels like pure color and motion distilled into a few minutes. 'Kaitan no Susume' is a collaboration between Tokyo Manaka, Hashimero, and 9Lana — each bringing their own flavor to a track that's upbeat without being saccharine, catchy without feeling disposable. The animation matches that energy with a vibrant, dynamic visual style that doesn't just sit behind the music but actually plays off it, building its own little narrative thread through the visuals. It's the kind of thing where you watch it once for the song and then again because you missed half the visual details the first time around. At just one episode — really just one music video — it's zero commitment. You're in and out, and either the vibe clicks or it doesn't. If you liked the visual punch of something like Rumble Garanndoll's stylized aesthetic, or if the raw animated energy in Kite's action sequences stuck with you, this scratches a similar itch in a completely different genre. It's a game-sourced project, so there might be context you're missing from the original material, but honestly it works fine on its own as a standalone piece. Put it on when you want something bright and rhythmic that doesn't ask you to sit through twelve episodes of setup first.
