anyone who wanted to run defense for this song ahead of release…y’all can keep it. what the hell was that???
AI slop aside (again), I liked how trippy it was (it’s sukekiyo, not DEG or Petit Brabancon anyway).
PS. Kyo’s real self cameo though.

i like the song
also, it’s very clear now that it is kyo in the video but with the AI-white-man-stuff “overlaid” on top of him

There were two brief scenes where he pops up IRL, think that also addresses the point of AI versus what this song is supposedly about.
One with a TV scene (0:47) and the one around 3:12

How many international flights in energy was burned to create this? sukekiyo got me feeling like an environmental terrorist watching this burning atrocity.
I’m gonna let pictures do a majority of the talking.
What is this random ass footage? Who is the white guy with the beard and what’s his connection to the rest of the AI slop? I’m gonna go easy on him because he’s probably the only person who showed up for the music video shoot that day, because every other member looks glued on top, like how you stick your child’s drawing on the refrigerator. Speaking of children, who are those two girls that pop up for like half a second and are they even real? Why are there donuts? Why is it raining donuts? Why do we have a break dancing pink blob? Why the thin veneer of pink everywhere again? What happens with the guy that kicks himself into smoke? Why is he even there? Who are these furry creatures and why do they show up? Random anime and video game footage too? Literally the worst music video I have seen in my entire life. I don’t think there’s anything worse than this.
For as bad as these pictures are, it’s even worse in motion. It doesn’t stay on anything long enough for the viewer to get an idea of what’s going on. It’s just random imagery for three minutes. It does not help that I think the song is aggressively mid.
I don’t even want to extend the olive branch and say that there was a thought there. There was no thoughts here, just laziness. There is zero artistic cohesion in this AI slop and I’m disappointed in everyone in this band for being okay with this. For a band that prides itself on style and theatrics, doing this is downright disturbing.
The Devil in Me PV was bad. This PV is bad. And if Kyo uses AI for the next PV, it’s gonna be bad. Stop using AI as a crutch.

@zeus not to defend Kyo’s “vision” here but I guess what he’s going for might be all about today’s visual 5-second attention span / brainrot commentary? The lyrics kind of imply the theme of “skewed self-worth” or whatever.
Not asking this in bad faith, by the way:
What is the connection between environmental terrorism and the amount of AI slop used here? I am genuinely curious (I know, deviating from the main topic at hand but for real).

so like… I’m not the best person to understand Japanese comedy and ~edgy references, but it looks like they’ve entered their own “vk band has beef with VK business” era with this: white-washed frontman + engrish + general background theme that everything in the business is a fake exploding bag of tim whoretons leftovers covered in jlube and raspberry syrup to the point where it looks disgusting to even look at
and i wanna say in 2025 the theme itself and the execution in this particular case are so…so…tired
(nvm it would probably have cost them less to buy actual pastries, a can of syrup, set-up a lightbox and compost the edible props after everything was done and done)

I feel like that’s finding a theme that might fit to the music video instead of the theme itself being self-evident. Donuts, furbies, those mythical creatures, the fighting video game, the anime girl, and the two girls sitting in the field of grass have nothing to do with skewed self-worth. It’s random footage most likely generated from feeding the lyrics as prompts to several different AI services and combining the result with the band playing on top here and there.
It’s a joke. I’d be arrested if I caused this much environmental damage any other way. I’m saying they burned a lot of fossil fuels and energy to create this incoherent slop, and I feel guilty just watching.

I could buy this, but then I still believe that it would have been much more cleanly executed if they did this the old-fashioned way.

BY ALL MEANS but i guess it’s their/kyos way to ~reflect on what’s hot and hype rn
I’m still lost what the Matt Walsh lookalike is supposed to mean… our boys are watching the terf wars from their dressing rooms while snacking on donuts?

Interesting views here.
Cannot help but to quote someone off their YT comments, credits to whoever authored this (I did not write this, note):
I actually think AI is a perfect choice for a song about a girl who is never accepted, no matter what they do or how much they invest in changing themselves to fit the person they love and win them back. So the machine turns on (the AI) and she tweaks her image over and over again, but each time, she “does something wrong”, just like how AI can’t get it all perfect. The more she tries changing, the more absurd and deformed the image gets, until it’s not even human anymore. She transforms into monsters out of this world just because she wants to be recognized, to be cute. But it’s like not even the AI can make her cuter without completely erasing her out of the picture. The AI doesn’t understand what she wants, probably because she doesn’t either. She doesn’t understand why the person she loves doesn’t love her back. She doesn’t understand what he actually wants from her.
Even the soulless, flat, unhuman images the AI provides fit the theme because she changes obsessively for someone else, the only human element being the band playing the song, meaning her feelings. Her face, her self is made up, articificial, tweaked to fit his love. It all gets more and more chaotic as she’s trying to erase herself and transform into someone who will be loved and accepted. The AI perfectly shows how she’s losing the plot, getting lost in a world that she can’t understand because the world can’t understand her. The more she changes, the bigger the gap between real and artificial gets. As the whole process implodes into a jumbled mess of what looks like entrails, we get a glimpse of Kyo portraying the character. It’s as if for a second, right before she reaches her end, we can see her for who she really is.
Even the title “Breeder” reminds of animal breeding, picking and choosing the perfect specimens to allow only the chosen characteristics of the animal show into the offspring, for the purpose of getting the perfect, best specimen. This can also bring attention to the dating world focusing on finding “the perfect person”. A lot of times it’s not even about the standards of the person seeking, but about the societal standards of “perfect” that everyone falls in the trap of. So there’s a lot of pressure to conform to everyone else’s standards instead of being yourself and finding someone who enjoys being with you. To the point where one might feel like they are not allowed to be different. We get to see the societal aspect into the unknown person handling the changes made by the machine. Someone else is training the AI that changes her.
