This is a fan-made video, and I didn't make it. Also, the anime art shown is from Tokyo Ghoul, which has no connection to the song. I guess the guy just liked the picture?

The point of using this video and not an official stream is the lyrics. The song is almost entirely in Japanese, so if you don't understand Japanese, the meaning will be lost on you. Go to the video, enable captions, and set it to English, and, at least if you understand English, you will understand everything he's saying.

If you're wondering if the song is political, yes, it absolutely is. It's not related to current events, as the song came out years ago. But it does apply to some of the shit we're in. But the lyrics aren't condemning any country or political ideology, it's a different kind of message.

For those who want official streams, here's the song.link: https://song.link/i/1538110484 . Apple was supposed to offer translations (probably done by AI) with Apple Music, but that feature never materialised. I don't know what translation services are offered with other streaming services. The song is very good on its own, but knowing what he's saying adds another dimension to it. It's a shame these guys aren't more well known, but unlike more popular Japanese rock bands like ONE OK ROCK, Survive Said the Prophet, coldrain, and others, they don't incorporate English lyrics, at least not as many, and not as frequently. I suspect they're relatively big in Japan, and they're probably fine keeping it that way. I feel like they could blow up over here if they wanted to, but I also suspect learning English for a native Japanese speaker is about as hard as learning Japanese is for a native English speaker. If you can get into an amazarashi song, that's awesome, but if you can actually understand him... that's something else.
