Top Comments of this video!! :3
I think the protagonist in the video's story is the guy in yellow.
He misses his girl and in order to escape his feelings, he partakes in this horrible, vile, chaotic lifestyle as a way to move on, but he can't, he misses her and if you pay attention to the end of the video, you can see him not actively participating in a lot of the bullshit that's going on, he's just sitting back, on the ground, looking depressed, searching up online what women want in a man.
It's about wanting to escape from the past and ending up in a horrible, horrible place, trying to remember how it was back then (ie trying to get a glimpse of us).
And I mean... the whole video is haunting, it feels like being part of the most horrible and depraved gang that's ever existed. It feels like falling off the deep end after a traumatic event.

I canât imagine the work that went into this video. I know some people (not close friends) who live a similar destructive lifestyle, and this looks like you took a camera and filmed their lives for months. Everything about this feels so authentic, and is so brilliantly juxtaposed with the soft heartache of the song. I love Joji, man

This video fucks me up so much. I remember being 15, 16. A kid. And we were all shooting up and snorting coke and being destructive. For a little while I thought we were having fun, but I quickly learned we were all endlessly miserable. Rest in peace Ikaika, Mel, Jake, Karen, Colin, Mo, Cash, JP, Oliver.

My wife passed away 6 years ago after giving birth to our daughter. Every night, I read to her while she stares deeply into my eyes and listens intensely. I know that it probably isn't common to relate this song to a father-daughter relationship, but this song makes me miss my wife so much more. It also makes me love and cherish my daughter so, so much. I know that she won't be like this forever, and daddy won't always be her favorite person, and she will eventually get older -- but right now I'm happy, just spending time, passing it by in her arms.

When this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and then jail. I now have a house, job, and husband. This song and âClover Cage - In the Momentâ are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you đ

One day, I became depressed and tried to drown out all my mental pain through alcohol, until my friends and parents realized what was wrong with me. They realized what was going on when I snapped and started screaming and crying without any reason. Therapy and medication didn't really help me, but then I met my girlfriend who I'd been dating for two years. She helped me through every attack of depression. I'm writing this because the footage in the video shows what I had to deal with for a long time. We try to numb our inner pain by going out, by having an antisocial lifestyle. But as soon as we get home and look at our room, it only makes things worse. And to all those people who are struggling with depression or other problems in their lives, we know how you feel. We understand you and we don't condemn you, we support you. Warm greetings from Russia.

She'd take the world off my shoulders
If it was ever hard to move
She'd turn the rain to a rainbow
When I was living in the blue
Why then, if she is so perfect
Do I still wish that it was you?
Perfect don't mean that it's working
So what can I do? (Ooh)
When you're out of sight
In my mind
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us
Tell me he savors your glory
Does he laugh the way I did?
Is this a part of your story?
One that I had never lived
Maybe one day you'll feel lonely
And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse
Maybe you'll start slipping slowly
And find me again
When you're out of sight
In my mind
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us

This goes out to the love of my life V... It's been four years, and even after getting over you a part of me does the lyrics to this song... Just hoping and praying to find even a glimpse of the love I felt for you in someone else because I can never have you again so I had to get over you and move on. This song truly touches my soul, and I get it... We all sometimes have to let love go get over someone and look for the next love in our lives. The "glimpse of us" isn't exactly meant to be glimpse of that former person more so glimpse of what you "had" serious relationship wise that is your NEXT serious love. But the retro of this is yeah sometimes even if we're over someone... we do miss them and what we had and that's okay and healthy to remember the good times... and miss them and wish things worked out. I know there's days where something reminds me of V and I do.

This video perfectly depicts my exâs life. From someone who comes from a healthy and stable background watching him fall back into a self destructive life of drugs, crime and broken family was heartbreaking.
I also learned that an addict needs professional help especially when everyone around them keeps tempting them back into their demons.
This video reminds me of how despite the crime and drugs he was such a sweet soul who loved animals and Ghibli movies. I know he tried to hold on to that through me and I still feel guilty that I had to leave him. Itâs not easy when you see someone sweet have such a dark side and feel like you are the only thing keeping them from breaking.
I hope he found a way to happiness now.

Art in itâs purest form.
When I first fell in love with this ballad, I related it to motherhood and the loss of intimacy in a relationship once you have children. I related in the ways of looking at your children and seeing that your love now resides in them.
When I saw the MV, I understood right away what Joji wanted to convey, the chaos and bitterness of life without the one you truly love.

Nothing hurts more than not being able to forget someone who's already forgotten about you.
