Mekakushe’s Reflections
The journey of life begins in solitude and ends in the same way.
I may be surrounded by others, yet I often feel isolated.
This loneliness can sometimes be overwhelming.
If only you—Loneliness itself—would knock at dawn’s door, my night would finally end.
Lately though,I’ve started to embrace this solitude as something acceptable.
Bearing this loneliness makes me yearn for your presence.
This feeling drives my creativity,
I hope to find joy within it all.
Might my album Enjoy After 13.8 Billion Years play endlessly,
Might I continue exploring your universe even beyond this lifetime.

Meyoco’s Thoughts on the Artwork
I am truly privileged to create artwork for Mekakushe-san’s song!The process was incredibly enjoyable from start to finish.The prospect allowed me creative freedom which I cherish deeply.A key theme I aimed to explore was the interplay between “time” and “home,” with clocks prominently featured alongside the female figure in my illustrations.I wanted these visuals exude warmth and tranquility reminiscent of fond memories with loved ones.I hope they serve as a fitting companion piece alongside Mekakushe-san’s gorgeous melody!
Kosuke Hayashi’s Perspective (Scenarioart)
“I arranged the track aiming for it evoke nostalgia within listeners’ hearts.” During production, I found solace in how gently the melody seemed capable of easing one’s spirit—a comforting return home.”
An Insightful Note from Otsukimi
“It is an immense honor that I was chosen to create the music video for ‘Dwelling Gate.’
The experience allowed me great joy while illustrating a cosmos inspired world filled with moonlight and stars.” The rotating carousel scene holds special meaning; it came together after numerous brainstorming sessions and thoughtful adjustments.” The reversal of its motion between sections symbolizes emotional transitions experienced by our protagonist throughout her story.” I’m hopeful that viewers will appreciate both these visual elements along with the enchanting tune.”
