Typical band performing song PV, but unlike 「distance」 that had a ’story’, I found that it matched quite well with the lyrics despite that. There were a few Haro sightings during the clip, but I found that it was out of place, and not necessary if they were trying to tie it back to Gundam 00. The lyrics themselves, as well as the war background, and maybe even the sniper pandas, was enough to secure the relevance in my opinion. I liked how she used the walkie-talkie as a microphone, and the ash-like effect that followed her after the bridge of the song.

All in all, I liked the PV, and I love the song. Rock is my genre. It doesn’t sound powerful enough in the OP, for they lowered the sound quality compared to the PV, though I guess I just like my music loud xD; I’ve never heard of the group before, despite them being around for almost ten years, but I’m definitely interested in following them now.

As for the recent live at MUSIC LOVERS (I never realized they had another performance of the song in January!), it showed that Kawase-san has an amazing live performance voice. Perhaps it’s the years of experience, but she almost sounds as good as the original recording, and compared to some musicians who sound like crap singing live, it’s an incredible feat, especially when singing the (almost) full song instead of an extended TV Size version. The cameraman was also focusing on one man in the crowd in particular, though I don’t know who he was xD; In any case, I’ve decided I’m going to steal all her hats. And her guitar. Though someone else was playing it here compared to the PV.
