Warning: NSFW, lots of over the top gore, violence and sexual content.
As someone who has already exposed herself to enough guro in her young life, I wasn't as horrified as I thought I would be by this one, but more amused by how hard the song and animation had tried to disturb its audience, which I believe it was somewhat successful in doing so (I do pity the parent that accidentally brought in her child at that exact moment this video started playing...).
Keita Kurosaka graduated from the Musashino Art University in 1979 where he majored in figure and still life painting. He later spent two years in France at the Ecole Nationale Superier des Beauz-Arts a Paris under the tutorship of J. Yankel majoring in oil painting. According to Kurosaka, these two years of study in Paris opened up his "sensibilities and feelings" to textures and surfaces. Kurosaka has been exhibiting his works since the early 80s, having spent 13 years on the animation film "Midori-Ko", having made 30000 drawings completed by himself for this hand-drawn animation. His style is not surprisingly described by critics as "very painterly, grotesque and surreal".
Having read that brief bio about him, it was no surprise that this animated music video was really well drawn, the animation is also alright especially when you consider how much detail was put into everything (Seeing that he probably drew every single frame by hand without any sort of digital editting). While I think I understood most of what this animation was trying to represent, I didn't really get why a cat-like creature was formed from the parasite that the mother had cut in half, while the other was clearly a male humanoid.
The little girl's rather calm demeanour throughout most of the video definitely implied that there was more to her than she let on, in the end, she was shown to be something akin to the angel of death (Or... just some fairy thing) that efficiently and mercilessly vanquishes the foul creature that had taken over her mother's body.
