I firmly believe this man is holding an entire animating studio hostage to animate his mvs cause the quality????? Astounding

In my POV, I think the story behind this is that in this village where White lives, there's a belief (shown on the mural) that the Black Swan will come and take all the young boys with white hair away. Thus, before their coming of age, White was raised as a girl to prevent this from happening but they ended up embracing it anyway. White ended up running into the Black Swan one day but soon found out that she wasn't anything like in the mural at all. They became friends and then slowly their relationship blossomed. After White's coming of age ceremony, they immidiately went to the Black Swan to confess and since then the two become each other's (as shown in their exchanged braid of hair).

Still can't get over the scene at 5:00, the white-haired boy used to be shorter than the black swan so they looked down out of habit but then realize he has grown much taller now. That scene conveys so much emotions even without a single word being uttered, it's a goddamn masterpiece qwq

Notice how at the end of the MV, the White one is taller than the black swan... the time goes forward for him, but she seems to be someone who experiences time much differently (in the montage with bones and flowers, rebirth from egg like a phoenix). He is for sure just a human man and will leave her at a certain point (as human life is short), while she will keep on going through death and rebirth cycles... At the very start she might have been sulking because she understands if she gets attached, she will suffer after he is gone... But at the end, she probably just accepted it and tried to enjoy the - to her- brief walk with him, so he would not worry. Hence, the head gestures - he asked her what is wrong and stopped, she just said "nothing" ... with wet eyes, staring at him lovingly. She was just happy to be there with the White dude... it might or might not have happened before that she liked a human from that village. Even if they are destined to part when he dies as a human being - I guess the MV was also about enjoying the moment with someone, no matter what lies ahead..(I guess?).I like how this story can be interpreted on several views, details emerge with each more view...

WHAT⁉ I’M NOT EXPECTING MY ANIME OF THE SEASON IS AN EVE MV 😭

This deserves an anime series or at minimum a short movie. It would criminal if it doesn't...

これ一時も早くアニメに作らないと俺の心臓止まっちゃう

this mv is absolutely beautiful. the interpretation of the story is free, but i interpreted it as a kind of "forbidden" love story. the black swan, a girl, is part of the legend of that village, where she catches the little boys with white hair. then, snow white, a boy (i suppose, 'cause of the scene where he removes his clothes and has no chest), dresses like a 'girl' so as not to be "kidnapped" by the swan of the legend. in the end, his curiosity was greater and he went in search of the swan, ending up falling in love (both, as you can see at the end). my favorite part is at the end when they are in the sand and snow white has short hair and is taller (with those traits i also assumed it was a boy, but idk), and they are both smiling. regardless of the actual gender of the characters, this is a very beautiful story and the animation is amazing. it could be two girls, two boys or a boy and a girl, as i interpreted it, but that doesn't matter, the story itself carries great meaning. thanks eve for another work of art.

Eve + Violet Evergarden's animator = MASTERPIECE 🥰

Eve: - sets up a premiere for the next week - drops another amazing song before that - refuses to elaborate

好きな人に告白した日に観た映画のED曲。 観てる時から緊張し過ぎてあんまり覚えてなかったけど、こんなに綺麗な曲だったんだ。

最後のところでもうこの2人は会えないのかな…って思ってたけど冒頭よく見たら髪飾り交換してあって雪も溶けて花も咲いているので今でも密かに会っていると思うともう最高

This was honestly one of the prettiest animation on youtube that I ever seen.

*Shirayuki/White Snow* *English Lyrics* The distance between you and I Stretches several light years apart Everytime I exhale a breath of cloudy white I can feel our numb fingertips touch All of these confusing feelings inside me And the beautiful trees that line this scenery Swaying at the corner of my eye The mounting anticipation I felt as I ran And this year again, I could smell The sharp scent of winter I want to feel you by my side I want to keep you safely kept inside This world glowing with white snow Flowing with gentleness and kindness I don’t care if its a dream so brilliant Our mouths fall open I want to stay gazing at this scenery Before morning comes Locking this special moment with you in my heart Until this spell is lifted Beautiful notes echo throughout As though the stars are singing It’s like time has stopped A world for just you and me I want to stay in this ambiguousness Wandering around, wanting to see you again As much as it hurts, we must face the future Please, stretch your hand out towards me All of these confusing feelings inside me And the beautiful trees that line this scenery Swaying at the corner of my eye The mounting anticipation I felt as I ran And this year again, I could smell The sharp scent of winter I want to feel you by my side I want to keep you safely kept inside This world glowing with white snow Flowing with gentleness and kindness I don’t care if its a dream so brilliant Our mouths fall open I want to stay gazing at this scenery Before morning comes Locking this special moment with you in my heart And let’s paint the dreams of far beyond Until this spell is lifted If I missed anything/made any mistakes, please let me know!! Thank you~

何故か再生回数少ないけど、自分的には神ミュージックビデオだと思う

I love how the black swan, from the first untill almost half of the video keep a straight face. But in the end she shows us a very wide range of emotions on her face 🥹🥹🥹 so precious 💕

As a Norwegian I really appreciate all the nods towards Scandinavian/ Nordic traditions, folklore, nature and history with Saint Lucy’s day, snowy mountains and even the northern lights! ❤️ absolutely beautiful!

This should be a whole season of anime😊😊😭😭😭😭😍😍

2人の性別、迷子なのいいな… 初見、どっちも女性だと思って百合だってはしゃいでたら、コメ欄見てびっくりしたw 性別は曖昧なままでいたい

最初はどっちも綺麗な女の子なのかなと思ったがどっちも綺麗な男の子なのか…？ どっちにしろめちゃ綺麗だし儚いし可愛いしなんかもう意味わからんくらい好きすぎる。

冬曲だけど聴いていると心が温かくなる…

for everyone asking: In the video it appears that the white-hair is most likely male. There is no evidence on which black is, or if they're simply genderless as they seem to be a kind of mystical creature. Regardless, the main focus of the video is the love between the two. White meets black as part of a ritual based on a prophecy. It is about a relationship that stretches beyond the races of the two (human and non-human; black swan). Black is hesitant and fears that white won't accept the non-human part of themselves, but as the seasons pass embraces the happiness of meeting white, and they become a pair as seen by giving locks of hair to each other. There is a simple beauty in seeing their love grow over the seasons. Race or gender never hindered them in the end; they just love to be with each other.

ゴリッゴリの夏だから雪見・スイカバー食べながら心の暖かさと実世界の猛暑をなんとか緩和しながら聴いてる

ブラックナイトパレードで白雪が流れててこの曲すごく冬を感じられる曲で好きだなっておもった。

I think the character with black hair is inspired by the Swan of Tuonela, and it's pretty cool to see that Finnish mythology in a Japanese music video! If I'm not mistaken, the swan of tuonela (portrayed as a black swan) is some sort of guard/creature of the Finnish underworld/afterlife. It carries souls to the bottom of the watery afterlife where souls will stay there in eternal slumber, hence the black-haired guy being underwater at first, and the swans at the start of the song. Plus the village kinda looks Nordic-inspired, so that's pretty cool!

Eve really never disappoint. He always exceed the standards and the MV is gorgeous.

This is way too underrated. 5 million views is way too little for how amazing this is.

今年も白雪の季節がやってくるね❄ みんなで沢山聞こ！！ 冬の朝にこの曲を聞くのが大好きです◎

The artstyle I can't they're so pretty

【勝手な考察】 白くんの村では黒い鳥女が少年を連れ去るという言い伝えがあったため、村の男の子たちは大きくなるまで女の子として育てられる。 けれど白くんは偶然黒ちゃんに出会い、言い伝えは嘘で、彼女がとても優しい存在だと知る。 みたいな？

Instagramで流れてきてこんな美しいアニメがあったのかと驚いて調べたらEveさんのMVだったということに驚きわわ隠せない！？

運転中に聴くもんじゃない…涙で前が滲むわ…感動…なんか心に刺さる…

Now THAT was magical... now I want to write an entire fantasy novel, lmao. Eve strikes again! What a wonderful holiday gift! Thank you!!!

最後、2人で三つ編みを分け合ってピアスにしてるのほんとに素敵…。

アニメーションスタジオ豪華すぎんか。。！？witにシャフト！？凄すぎる。。

もっと聞かれてほしいなぁ この歌

MVが綺麗すぎる…それと毎回のMVで物語がひとつひとつあるのとっても好き

I love you Eve thank you for all

Gender isn't really important for me, what I'm focusing is the tenderness of this pure romance. Their earings at the very beginning, the hint of their bond, is really wholesome that it made me cry lmao.

この曲全部が好き 2:00 特にここの盛り上がる所が好きすぎる

2人が黒鳥と白鳥モチーフなのが素敵すぎる… 黒鳥の特徴である真っ黒な羽(髪)と赤い嘴(リップ)に白い斑点(ラメ) 白鳥も同じで嘴が黒い特徴は頬が赤いことになってるのかなー🤔 白鳥の方が大きいのも2人が並んでいてよく分かるのが最高♡ 渡り鳥だから暖かい場所を求めて2人で冒頭の森の中(？)に穏やかに暮らしてるのがハッピーエンドものがったってて好き！！！😂 何も無かったたまごも実ってる！！白鳥たちは極寒の地域で卵を産み育て、暖かい地域で暮らします。 卵はそんな2人の愛の表現なのかなと思うとにやけます🫶 それと白鳥も黒鳥も番は死ぬまで一生互いを想い続けます♡♡ 素敵なMV、最高です。

the song sounds very different (in a good way) than most of EVE's music and the animation is fantastic. I really love these character and outfit designs. They make the fictional world feel alive

アニメーションの可能性の無限性を教えてくれる素晴らしいMV そしてその世界観とEveさんの歌唱の親和性が高すぎて感動した。 ありがとう。ホントにありがとう。この作品に出会えて幸せです。

暑い夏に聴くべき曲

3:22 今までのEveさんのMVにこういう描写なかったから凄くびっくりした笑

「ちぐはぐな感情」「この魔法が解けるまで」「曖昧なままで居たい」「大切にしまっていたい」そういう歌詞が、MVを見る前とあとでは捉え方に寂しさとか複雑な感情が混ざって深く考えてしまって大混乱しています。楽曲だけ配信で聞いていた印象とはこうも違うのかと。より白雪がすきになっちゃったな、、、

なぜこの曲伸びないのか不思議でしょうがない🥲

めっちゃ好きで良い曲やから伸びて欲しいなぁ

自分の語彙では言い表せない次元…。全てが美しいし、その世界に引きこまれた。音楽とアニメーションの素晴らしさを改めて感じた。

MVとしてだけでなく、アニメ映画として見たいくらいに映像が美しくて最高です

サンタさんのソリみたいな鈴の音で始まるのすごい好きです

今日のライブでこの曲聴いて、早速買ったよー！ありがとうね！😆

This literally could’ve been adapted into a movie or 12-episode series, the story was compelling and the animation is so lovely to look at. Also, does this give anyone else Moshang or Beefleaf vibes? Is it just me? I think it’s just me 😅

5:08 HOW THEY DO THAT AMOUNT OF EXPRESIONS IN LESS THAN 5 SECONDS, this is just soooo amazing work

この人の曲って歌だけじゃなくて映像を見入ってしまうくらい好き

心が暖かくなる曲

5:00 if you notice then he's now taller than her, which shows that time passed

歌自体がめちゃくちゃ素敵なのに、 素敵なアニメーションがさらに加わってくるから、EveさんのMVって素敵ワールドなんだよなあ…

めっちゃ良いわ!CDになったら欲しいわ～最高!

the way they wear each other's braids 😭😭❤️❤️

When an MV has better animation than most seasonal anime, you know you've struck gold

MVのイラスト良すぎだろ！

この曲好きだからもっとのびてほしい

めっちゃ好きな曲　 特にイントロとサビがいい　 Eveさんの声って優しい

I just realized this was the first eve romance song that had a happy ending

Eve君のMVと曲で完全に世界観に引き込まれる😢😢😢😢 毎回神みたいな曲とMV🎉🎉 新曲が出るたびに昔の曲遡ってまう😂

めっちゃ綺麗、、

男子4人カラオケで初めて聞いた人の感想 最初:MV綺麗だな〜 サビ:なんか聞いたことある気がする 2番:バッドエンドにはならんでくれ 鼻ぺろ:え〜！？ダメじゃない！？ 　　　これ！？エッチすぎます！？ ラスサビ:仲良さそうでよかった(泣)

韓国人です。私が大変な時に悲しいときにEveさんの歌を聞くと心が快適になって慰められた。 Eve様のおかげで人生を生きていきます..いつも良い曲ありがとうございます。

the ending scene with them walking together, having an earring of each other's hair, with the black haired person now looking up to the white haired person is so lovely but also bittersweet to me. life obviously just moves on and around without the spirit (that shot of them surrounded by the skeletons of those long dead; one might even say they are used to being left behind) and our lovely white haired mortal is by definition all about change bc that is life itself (the different haircuts, the shot of them clutching their throat.. their voice starting to change?); but its okay because the time still spent with each other is worth it, worth everything. editing bc i forgot to say: another banger as always, eve. what a wonderful gift this holiday season

やっぱり冬に聴くのが一番！！

曲を聴くことで幸せを感じられるこの時代に生まれてよかった

白雪ーEnglish Translation Between you and me How many light years was the distance Every time I breathe in white It’s like a squeezed hand touches Such a little emotion The gorgeous street trees swaying on the side of the road I was in a hurry to frustration that I couldn’t wait This year when the smell of winter smelled I always want to feel it I want to take care of it A white snowy world full of kindness It ’s okay to solve your mouth Until the morning comes down I want to see this scenery I put the special spent with you in my chest Until this magic can be solved The stars sing It made a good sound You and my world that has stopped time I want to stay ambiguous I was wandering to meet It hurts so many times to the future Get on your hand Such a little emotion The gorgeous street trees swaying on the side of the road I was in a hurry to frustration that I couldn’t wait This year when the smell of winter smelled I always want to feel it I want to take care of it A white snowy world full of kindness It ’s okay to solve your mouth Until the morning comes down I want to see this scenery I put the special spent with you in my chest Let’s prove the tip of a dream Until this magic can be solved 白雪ーRomanization Kimitoboku no kono aima ni wa nan-konen-bun no kyori ga atta shiroi iki o hakidasu tabi kajikanda te ga fureau yona kon’na chiguhaguna kanjo hanayakana gairoju yokome ni yuraida machi kirenu shoso isogiashidatta tsun to fuyu no nioi ga shita kotoshi mo itsumo hata de kanjite itai taisetsu ni shimatte itai yasashi-sa ni afureta shira yukina sekai -guchi ga tokeru yume demo ikara asa ga furu made wa kono keshiki o nagamete itaikara -kun to sugoshita tokubetsu o mune ni shimatte kono maho ga tokeru made -boshi-tachi wa utau yo ni kaion o narihibika seta jikan ga tomatta yona kimitoboku dake no sekai aimaina mama de itai aitai to samayotte ita itai kurai nando mo mirai o muite -te o nobashite kure kon’na chiguhaguna kanjo hanayakana gairoju yokome ni yuraida machi kirenu shoso isogiashidatta tsun to fuyu no nioi ga shita kotoshi mo itsumo hata de kanjite itai taisetsu ni shimatte itai yasashi-sa ni afureta shira yukina sekai -guchi ga tokeru yume demo ikara asa ga furu made wa kono keshiki o nagamete itaikara -kun to sugoshita tokubetsu o mune ni shimatte yume no saki o utsushidasou kono maho ga tokeru made

目を細めて本当に幸せそうに、嬉しそうにそれぞれを見つめる感じが好き そしてEveさんの澄んだ歌声が、私は堪らなく好き

Spotifyでも聴いてるんだけどこの美しすぎるMVも見たくて何回も聴きにきちゃう この2人のアニメ映画見たい😂 絶対課金する

素敵

私はまだフルで見終わっていませんが、既にアニメーションが素晴らしい。

Masterpiece. I could describe it in many ways using pretty colorful words and build complex ideas, but this is enough. This word can tell everything by itself.

eve's mvs are just basically prompts for stories and i'm obsessed.

the way both of them have a strand of each other's hair tied to theirs 💖

白雪が、最初は黒鳥の方が身長が高いのに最後の海辺のシーンでは黒鳥の身長を追い越してるの、白雪が時を重ねて少年から大人になっていくという風に感じられるのですが、同じように思った方はいらっしゃいますか？

MVも歌もどっちもめちゃくちゃ幻想的なファンタジーな感じでマッチしてて素晴らしすぎる😭

I really like how the mural shows the people (maybe fairies) with "small white" butterfly wings and the main characters wears the coat with same design. I wonder what does this mean as well.

この動画が投稿されてから毎週1回は聴いてて、もうこのルーティンを1年以上続けてる

冬を感じさせるリズム、MVでありつつ、どこか暖かい気持ちがわいてくる。さすがE veさん

I feel like making a series about all of the stories in the music videos would be a cool idea (kinda like mushi - shi)

Eveさんの曲あまり聞かないけどオススメに出てきてから、これほんとに全部が好きすぎて何回も来てる🥲♡ これの映画観たい。。。

MV太好看了吧，真的很喜欢Eve老师每一次歌的感觉

As a swedish person , this has such a swedish or scandinavian style to it! Especially the scene where theyre making offerings , looks like Lucia

мама спасибо что родила меня в этот век и я могу видеть и слушать это

冬にあってる曲

歌詞天才すぎ、感性凄すぎて、語彙力ばぐる

MVもEveさんの声も合わせて全てにおいて最高。

This comment is probably going to get buried, but I wanted to post some information about the background of this MV and my personal interpretation of some of it here. Most of this was originally part of a large comment thread, but the original comment was deleted, so I'm compiling and reposting it here for anyone curious for further discussion who happens to stumble across it: From my understanding, a lot of this is based on Nordic mythology and tradition. The black-haired person represents the Lady of the Lake (seen at 0:39), who is specified in Nordic folklore to be a female water spirit. At 3:04, we see the white-haired person wearing white robes and carrying candles, which seems to take inspiration from the Lucia tradition from Nordic cultures. It's a bit much to explain here so I won't get into the details, but Lucia is supposedly the ancient bearer of light for the dark Nordic winters. She is always depicted as female, and is based on the real historical figure Saint Lucia, who was a female Christian martyr. All this is to say that at the very least, both figures that the two characters in the MV are inspired by are traditionally female, so despite their androgynous appearance, I think they're meant to be women (or at least feminine). The question of the gender of our main characters (especially the white-haired person) seems to be a popular topic of discussion. In particular, we see at 2:31 that the white-haired character is depicted with a flat chest and possibly an Adam's apple. I will also note that at 2:28, the white-haired person seems to be taking off a dress-not just a long robe-which is an interesting detail since dresses are obviously a traditionally feminine piece of clothing, even within Nordic tradition and culture. I think this could be interpreted in many ways (perhaps she's a transgender woman?), but perhaps the ambiguity around the white-haired character's gender is meant to make the character more relatable to a broader audience. Though I can't say for sure, these details were definitely a deliberate choice on the artist's behalf. If you ask me though, I personally believe that this is just a way to provide some semblance of queer representation while providing an outlet for plausible deniability in the case of some sort of homophobic backlash. I think this is sort of a common trend with queer representation in Japanese media, which is understandable considering the generally more conservative culture. I don't want to accuse anyone involved in the production of this music video of "copping out" of explicit LGBTQ representation, since I understand this is just an unfortunate consequence of producing anything in a society where homophobia can influence consumer decisions (we see this all the time in Western media too!). I still think this MV is really beautiful! I just wish we lived in a world where queer relationships being depicted as ambiguous wasn't normalized or necessary.

ブラックナイトパレードの映画観に行った超面白かった

This was just so beautiful. No words were said and yet so much was conveyed. Haven't seen something this gorgeous in a while

Eve и его музыка делают меня такой теплой и живой в это холодное и тяжелое время. Спасибо, что ты и твоя музыка существуете. Она воистину невероятна.

Eveさんって昼の冬みたいな曲すごい上手だよね………爽やか…

綺麗☺️✨

美しすぎる
