ZUTOMAYO - MV ANALYSIS
"Zutto Mayonaka de ii no ni" is a Japanese J-Rock, J-Pop band with strong influences in Funk, Jazz and Disco, which was formed in 2018. It is characterized by having a quite peculiar and eccentric sound, originating from their characteristic habit of combining old-fashioned musical genres coupled with current styles of music, resulting in a combination that is quite rare to find and fresh by today's musical standards, making Zutomayo an experimental and unique band, with their own sound and personality that is preserved regardless of the styles used in each of their great songs. All the previously mentioned characteristics are condensed in their vocalist, a mysterious but curious woman named ACAね, whose voice is characterized by being high pitched, delicate, sweet, but very energetic and emotive, qualities that are complemented by her charisma and personality very noticeable, but far from her common way of being, as she is quite reserved, shy and secretive. There is also the fact that all the members of this band are anonymous, but instead of delving into that, I prefer to talk about one of the things I like most about this band, and that is, their music videos.
Each and every one of them hides deep, emotional, reflective, and entertaining stories. Each one adorned with sublime symbolism, styles, aesthetics, and animation that you have the luxury of interpreting, delving into, or simply enjoying without worrying. These symbolisms are represented through the context of the song, and this is where the brilliance of the videos appears, as each animator has their own ways of representing things, creating an incredible show of animation and music.
If you want to know all the secrets, all about the symbolisms, characters, stories, and other curiosities, this is the video you were looking for. In this video, I make an analysis of 17 music videos, each and every one of them explained in summary and in great detail. Everything seen in this video is not theory, and it tries to be as objective and concise as possible, since I rely on translations made by people who know the Japanese language and official information about Zutomayo's music videos.
