Music Video

PV shot

The music video for "BUT" was directed by Takashi Tadokoro (EXFLARE).

It features Kuu waking up chained to a ceiling, and when she breaks free, in a hotel elevator. She exits onto a floor lined with several stoic, obedient employees, all women. Through the use of a magical cane she seems to break their inhibitions. It was controversial at the time of its release due to its depiction of Kuu and the extras engaging in same-sex kissing.
