    Interesting, but I’m not really sure how the lyricist/singer Jelle and visual artist Yoru are going to collaborate yet.

    The spinning camera as Yoru tells Jelle the lie she tells herself I found was brilliant though, as if the camera was rolling its eyes, knowing what she continuously blabs on about is b.s.

    The busking music by everyone has appropriate accompaniment, i.e. bare acoustic guitar, as opposed to the overproduced music in Girls Band Cry

    Yoru drawing in the eyes on her jellyfish to resemble Jelle’s logo while Jelle sings is just smack

    The title of the show “Yoru No Kurage” is a pun: Yoru == night, but is also the artist’s pen name, so “Yoru’s Jellyfish Can’t Swim” is another reading of the title.

    Of course it can’t swim, it’s a drawing. But as Yoru says at the end, jellyfish can’t swim or shine on their own, but they can absorb light from others, and shine that way, and she can too.

    This has artistic merit. Will watch again.
