In the nutshell any Zutomayo song are always mesmerize me both in Music that mix J-Pop and J-rock with the elements of Funk and electronic, also sometimes with violins and jazzy piano, and more often going experimental, also with their Animation that accompanied the vibe and Music Video storytelling that have a simple lore but also feels like a short film on its own, but for taking 2024 release, I'll take "Truth in Lies" as for the best Music Video of 2024, the Music Video itself is animated by one of my favorite Digital Artist, はなぶし / Hanabushi and mix it with both Hanabushi's and Zutomayo color tones of purple, making it one of the most beautifully Animated Music Video of 2024, and personally favorite release from Zutomayo alone, not only that, the song itself talks about struggle of telling the truth often leads to miscommunication, lies, and separation, despite the character in the song didn't want them to separate and don't ever say "Goodbye".
