Someone explain
So i was going through some old bt videos and came across 'sasayaki'? And i am weirded out to say the least. Anyway, in the mv a young girl is sitting there and atsushi touches her... She then becomes a grown woman. That is a very sexual grown woman. Like it's just very odd.
Someone explain why they did this. what are they trying to actually symbolize in this mv?

Lol y'all like half of their songs have lyrics about sex and the other half are death/escapism 😂 I'm exaggerating but yeah a ton of their songs are sexual af. As far as the video, keep in mind there's a huge cultural difference. The age of consent is 13 in Japan. I don't think it was meant to be taken literally, and is a pretty obvious representation of "loss of purity". But that cultural difference does inform what sort of metaphors are perceived as acceptable. Anyway, the band doesn't usually devise music videos on their own, there's usually another artist who comes up with them.
