Warning: brief depiction of alcohol at the start of the second chorus.
A digitally drawn video comprised of still and panning images, some with slight back and forth movement between frames. The style is anime-inspired, with cell shading. Backgrounds are simple. All text and subtitles are in a colorful, animated, chalk font.

I’ve got a song that follows me through the morning
Headed for the bay

Rin lyric.
A sunny Saturday change in tempo
Rolling down my window to the radio
End lyric.
Rin and Len are sitting next to each other in the car, Rin’s hair also blowing in the wind.

It’s the perfect time to go
The forecast’s bright all week

Though maybe it’s wishful thinking
Secretly hoping it was you
End lyric.
Rin is confidently pushes Len on a swing with all her strength. Len yells, gripping the swing tightly and pulls his legs inward as Miku, unaware, stands directly in front of him, and Rin watches on in surprise. They collide offscreen and Rin grimaces.
In all shots after this, Miku has a bandaid on her hand.

All that changes and things that never do

Kaito lyric.
It’s something I won’t see ’til I’m out again another day
End lyric.
Meiko and Luka stare blankly at Kaito, who happily interacts with a happy-looking white dog, a Russian Spitz, that resembles him. Tako Luka is peaking out from behind Luka’s shoulder. Eleanor, who is mostly offscreen, frets over the large dog tackling Miku.
Len lyric.
You spin around the garden
End lyric.
Miku spins around in a garden. Kaito and Len, who’s wearing Kaito’s hat, watch. Kaito catches a dizzy Miku before she can fall. Rin is in the background looking at something else.

Rin picks three fluffy, white flowers from the ground. She gives one to Kaito, who kneels down and gently accepts it.

I don’t mind as long as I’m with you
End lyric.
Cut to Meiko and Luka, who have also received flowers. Meiko gingerly tucks her flower behind her ear, while Luka smells hers. Meiko is wearing the flower for the rest of the PV.
A shot of everyone together. Miku talks and Luka listens. Meiko smiles, interacting with Kaito. Rin and Len sit on a bench, and Rin puts leaves in a relaxing Len’s hair. Rin then looks down at something.
Len lyric.
It’s getting late, we’re taking break for lunch
I feel like something sweet
End lyric.
Rin hurriedly shows Len her phone (which is coved with stickers), shoving it directly in his face. From Len’s perspective, there’s text conversation on screen, which appears too blurry to read. He pushes it out of the way to reveal that Rin is already looking away towards an approaching Gumi and Gakupo. Gakupo is holding a plastic bag and a normal one, and Gumi a plastic bag with a logo on the side that reads “Hokaze-tei.” The icons in the conversation were Gumi with her goggles over her eyes, and Rin with a flower crown.
Gumi holds a white bakery box and waves, and Gakupo carries a grocery bag and a brown messenger bag. They both smile.
Text reads: “Gumi. Gakupo.”
Gumi is wearing her usual headphones with red goggles on her head, a light-yellow t-shirt with an orange trim and a carrot on the front, a short, orange overall dress undone on one side, and orange shoes.
Gakupo is wearing his usual headphones, a black jacket over a grey shirt with slightly lighter black pants, black shoes, and an eggplant necklace wrapped around twice.
Gumi lyric.
And while we’re sipping iced tea and coffee
In the shade, I’m softly singing next to you
End lyric.
Kaito cheerfully walks towards Gakupo, who returns the sentiment until he realizes Kaito is just reaching toward the bag of groceries he’s holding. With an irritated smile, Gakupo pulls a pint of ice cream out of the bag and holds it up, out of Kaito’s reach, as Kaito, now angry, tries to grab it. Miku pops up, curiously looking in the grocery bag Gakupo holds to his side.
Shot of everyone. Meiko graciously holds a cup out to Luka, who pours her an orange drink from a large, clear bottle, smiling politely. Len and Tako Luka watch, Tako Luka on Len’s head. Miku looks to the side, drinking a small bottle of vegetable juice. Rin and Gumi happily talk to each other. Gakupo and Kaito fight in the background, Gakupo holding Kaito’s shirt collar, and Kaito holding Gakupo’s neck.
Gakupo lyric.
Memories of afternoons
We’ve always been this way
End lyric.
Gakupo sings enthusiastically, holding a leek as a mic, with Miku singing backup in the background. He holds the leek up to Luka for her to sing the next part. She doesn’t, staring at him blankly.
Luka lyric.
You take a picture with steady hands
The smell of white hydrangeas in the gentle air
End lyric.
Rin and Len ask Meiko, who’s eating a sandwich, if they can have dessert first. Meiko questions them, and, in response, they point her to Kaito, who is happily eating the pint of ice cream, as Meiko looks to him with an annoyed smile.
Cut to Miku, happily eating a sandwich with a full leek between the ingredients. Rin and Len glare at her. Kaito, in the background, resembles the “gone” icon meme, a manga screenshot of Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul staring upward, bloodied, with his eyes hidden in despair. Kaito retains the pose with the dramatic shading, and holds a sandwich. Gakupo, offscreen, has a hand on his shoulder.
Gumi lyric.
Lying back in the grass spread under the sky
We’re watching as the clouds go by
I’m falling into this feeling
Watching you smile and meet my eye
End lyric.
Miku, Rin, Len, and Gumi lay in the grass on their backs, all smiling as they watch the clouds. Miku is using her bunched up sweater as a pillow. Tako Luka is curled up beside Miku. The first cloud looks like a slice of cake. Miku closes her eyes dreamily, thinking of cake. Rin taps Len with the back of her hand, showing him the second cloud, which looks like a roadroller. They both smile excitedly, Len also sitting up to drink water. Miku looks to them with a sweat drop. Gumi continues to smile. A moment goes by. Among Us crewmate. This is the third cloud that flashes for a second. Everyone reacts in shock, Rin with a wide, blank smile of surprise, and Len on his hands and knees coughing the water he was drinking.
Meiko lyric.
All that changes and things that never do
End lyric.
Shot of the adults, still sitting on the blanket. Meiko, drunk, waves her drink in the air above Kaito, as he awkwardly tries to avoid the drink splashing out. Luka, holding her drink, smiles, watching Meiko. Gakupo, his jacket off, drinks canned coffee.

Finding myself in places I don’t remember how I got to

Though the leaves will go orange and fall away
End lyric.

In the background, Akita Neru, on her phone on a bench, notices them and quickly puts a book in front of her face. Further in the background, Koharu Rikka, Natsuki Karin, and Hanakuma Chifuyu sit on a blanket with teacups and their bear stuffed animals. Rikka and Karin make their bears hold up their cups to Chifuyu.

It’s something I won’t see ’til I’m out again another day

Kaito lyric.
You spin around the garden
End lyric.
Miku digs around in her backpack as Gumi waits. Miku’s expression shifts to a surprised one. Gumi looks at her curiously.
Gakupo lyric.
Recounting stories, the time will pass you by
End lyric.
Miku, with angry eyebrows and an open mouth, presents a Len plushie from the backpack. Len looks in shock. Rin and Gumi look on in confusion.
Rin lyric.
I don’t mind as long as I’m with you
End lyric.
Meanwhile, Luka, Kaito, Meiko, and Gakupo are gathered around a grill, cooking meat, seafood, and a leek. Kaito grills the food using tongs, and gives a confident thumbs up to someone off camera with brown hair wearing glasses and a blue sweater vest with red diamonds over a white shirt. Gakupo smiles, fanning the food with a round fan. Luka stares at the seafood, very interested. Tako Luka, on her head, stares at the seafood, drooling. Meiko sits in the back, fanning herself with another round fan.
At the picnic blanket, the Len plushie has been dropped off. They’ve given him a sandwich on a napkin and a cup of the orange drink. He sits against Gakupo’s bag, which has a fluffy, white flower in it, which the bug, a wasp, sits on.
Shot of squirrels.
Len lyric.
We’re cutting through the grass
Kaito lyric.
Just like we had in the past

Rin, Miku, Luka, with Tako Luka on her shoulder, and Len walk and talk. There’s a sudden gust of wind that blows their hair.
Meiko lyric.
This little place still takes me back
Miku lyric.
Grabbing your side as you pass by so I’m not left behind
End lyric.
Meiko’s hair is blown back and the flower flies out. Kaito grabs it in midair. He blushes, happily tucking it back behind her ear, and she looks to the side with angry eyebrows and a bashful smile, as RIn and Miku look on smiling, and Len looks off to the side. The background fades to pink with sparkles and anime bubbles.
Miku is surprised by something offscreen. Miku sweats, watching a displeased Gakupo put sunscreen on Gumi’s face as she squints, her face smooshed by his hands on either side.
Rin lyric.
These still, transitional months
End lyric.
A shot of everyone walking. Gakupo walks in the middle, holding Tako Luka in one arm, who smiles up at him. Miku walks on one side of him, and Rin puts his arm on the other. Len walks beside Rin, and looks to her, shocked. Gumi walks slightly in front of Len, smiling as she looks to the rest of the group. Meiko stands in the way front, smiling back at everyone. In the background. Kaito and Luka walk and talk together. Further in the background, Yowane Haku walks on the path in the other direction, and, separately, Teto stands showing off a white bow in her hair to Momone Momo and Utane Uta, who sit in the grass and clap.

We make with every passing moment

I never want to end

Let’s go together
End lyric.
Luka, her hair in a ponytail, approaches Meiko. Luka points to her face, which has a bit of sunscreen on it. Meiko happily rubs in in for her. Luka smiles and blushes. In the background, Gakupo stretches as he talks confidently with Rin and Gumi, who has her hands on her hips. Kaito smiles at the three, doing a different stretch. Len stands on the other side of Kaito, watching him and copying his stretch.
Meiko, joined by Kaito lyric.
Down the sidewalk, I heard you call my name

Meiko and Kaito, joined by Rin, Len, and Miku lyric.
I wanna meet tomorrow again
End lyric.
Fade to a shot with an added Miku, Rin, and Len drawing on the now dry sidewalk. Rin draws a plus between the ‘K’ and the ‘M,’ and a heart around them, and Miku encourages her. Meiko, shocked and blushing looks back and forth between it and Kaito, who is handing a piece of chalk to Len and hasn’t noticed.
Meiko, Kaito, Rin, Len, and Miku joined by Luka, Gumi, and Gakupo lyric.
Someday, today will be nostalgic, too
End lyric.
Fade to a shot with Gakupo, Luka, and Gumi added. It’s raining, which has washed away the chalk. Meiko and Kaito run, Meiko holding an umbrella over her and Miku, and Kaito holding one over him and Len. Miku and Len run happily. Gakupo holds an umbrella over Gumi, who smiles excitedly over a frog. He looks back towards Luka and Rin, who don’t have an umbrella. Rin happily pulls an unsure Luka along. Tako Luka moves alongside them. There are also plants going out of the sidewalk now.
In each iteration, the characters are wearing different outfits.
Miku, joined by everyone else lyric.
I love all of it, old and new

All that changes and things that never do
End lyric.
Cut to the ball being kicked.

I’ll try something new next time
End lyric.
Gakupo and Kaito get close during the game, Gakupo looking down at Kaito smugly, and Kaito looking up to him angrily. In the background, a panicked Len runs past with the ball. Miku and Meiko cheer him on, and Luka stares with a vaguely annoyed expression.
Len lyric.
Walking back with your hand in mine and
End lyric.
Len brags about winning the game. Rin stares blankly at him with wide eyes, a wide open mouth, and an anime anger vein on her head. Miku tries to calm her down with a worried smile and a sweat drop. Kaito smiles and calls out to Len from the background. Also in the background, Luka compliments Meiko, blushing slightly and holding her hand.
Kaito lyric.
Though the leaves will go orange and fall away
End lyric.
Miku lies down on the blanket and sighs.

Gumi lyric.
You spin around the garden
End lyric.
Gumi, Miku, and Rin pull a reluctant Luka, Gakupo, Kaito, and Meiko in to pose for a picture, Gumi holding Gakupo’s arm and Rin holding Meiko’s hand. Tako Luka smiles and sits on Miku’s head as she holds up one finger with a proud expression.
Meiko lyric.
Recounting stories, the time will pass you by
End lyric.
Miku presents the Len plushie. Len, holding the camera, his phone (which has a banana pattern), looks offended.
Miku lyric.
I don’t mind, I’ll pass the time with
End lyric.
Gakupo tries to take a selfie with everyone. They all try to fit in frame. Gakupo sticks his tongue out as he looks at himself and fixes his hair. Miku smiles with a peace sign next to him. Gumi is half in frame. Meiko smiles, the top of her head cut off. Kaito is mostly out of frame. Rin and Len are small, and Rin’s bow is partially blocking Len. The top of Luka’s face is cut off. She’s not smiling.
Miku, with her phone propped up on Gakupo’s jacket, her backpack, and her sweater, sets a timer on her camera. (The most recent photo is of Rin and Gumi smiling and posing with the Len plushie. Rin does a peace sign and Gumi sticks her tongue out.) Miku runs over to the rest of the group, who are posing for the picture. She trips and falls onto Rin, also grabbing Kaito’s scarf on the way down. Simultaneously, Rin grabs Len’s arm and pulls him down, too. Len throws his other arm back behind him, which Meiko narrowly dodges after leaning back. Kaito’s scarf chokes him, and he throws an elbow backward in Gakupo’s stomach, causing him to hunch over. Gumi grabs onto his arm with both of hers to keep her balance. Luka stands in the back with a neutral expression. Tako Luka then flies across the screen enthusiastically with a sign that says “strike.”
All lyric.
You
End lyric.
From the perspective of inside the bakery box, Miku smiles, talking to someone offscreen as she walks over and closes it.
Text reads: “end.”
Fade to an end screen, a black background with white text that reads “Thank you for watching!!!” and a white drawing that depicts a chibi Rin and Gakupo. Rin is examining the orange drink bottle from different angles. She asks, “what brand is this?” Gakupo looks at the bottle for a moment. He guesses, “orange?”
