The video visualizes the concept of “transforming the airport into a musical game.” Several lamps, evenly spaced on the runway, emit strong beams of light for landing and takeoff. The overall scenery evokes a large-scale light installation, which inspired the idea to make the lights flash in sync with sound, similar to “BeatMania.” This was realized using the 45m wide and 2km long runway, with the scene captured horizontally by a large aerial video drone.

The music video was shot at the “Noto Satoyama Art Night 2016” art event, which took place at the Noto Satoyama Airport in Wajima city, Ishikawa Prefecture, on October 9th, 2016. This was the first instance of a public recording taking place on an airport runway.
