"Nietzsche" Short Film
@odottebakarinokuni_official on YouTube
“Nietzsche” is a song I’ve been listening to on repeat ever since it came out in 2022.
I’ve always wanted to get Shimotsu and the guys in front of a camera acting someday, so I decided one of the three videos from this album was going to be a proper narrative piece.
The story is this psycho love story that I absolutely love. Shimotsu acted way beyond anything I expected or hoped for, and honestly the whole thing came out pretty terrifying. Like almost too real.
I think a lot of people are going to take it at face value because it feels so natural, but just so you know Shimotsu is actually a really chill, peaceful guy in real life.
