^ Interesting, hadn't seen that video before! It's nice that major Japanese IPs now seem comfortable to include Yuri subtext in their official stuff, hopefully this is but a stepping stone to actual unabashedly queer characters in the future. Part of me feels like we see some early signs of this with Japan's cultural industry tentatively exploring same-sex couplings and hopefully realising that they aren't bad for business.

^The video is based on an official short novel. Don't know if it's as subtexty as the music video though, since as far as I know it hasn't been translated.

In case anyone here hasn't seen the video YOASOBI released on these two a while back, you gotta fix that.
