Release history



Music video



The music video for the song is entirely animated, with only a short animated portrayal of the band members. It is created by Keita Kurosaka and done in his characteristically full traditional animation with ero guro-inspired motifs. It has been shown as a film at festivals such as the 2007 International Film Festival Rotterdam for its "animation based on their music exemplifying his fascination for violence and relationships".
