This is a pretty nice music video by x0o0x_ or Wakame (ワカメ). Most of their songs don't have names so they can be hard to find but they're all on Youtube!

This music video uses a mix between 2D and 3D with unsettling imagery. It tells the story of a girl attempting the "One-Man Hide and Seek" - which is basically a creepypasta ritual for contacting the dead.

I quote from the creepypasta fandom; "Spirits, which are wandering restless on the Earth, are always looking for bodies to possess. In this ritual, you will summon such a spirit, by offering it a doll instead of a human ... body."

I enjoyed this music video much more than I expected!

Without context, I like how the visuals are as dysfunctional as the music sounds. While the music could be mixed better, it's still really good for what it is and has a lot of interesting layers going on. I LOVE how the art style between different elements isn't so polished and uniform and how the angles used are unconventional. I think it adds to the horror adjacent element it's going for. Very clever use of colors. The MV feels like a story unfolding as it goes so it strongly kept my interest.

Like a previous review ... noted, this is based on "One Man, Hide and Seek" which is a Japanese urban legend ritual that involves playing hide and seek with a possessed doll. (If anyone is interested in looking more into this for context, google "one man hide and seek saya in underworld". It should take you to a blogspot with more information.) I think knowing about this adds a lot to what you're looking at, but the MV could also stand strong without knowing.
