AniPani, a project led by Riin from the popular 2.5D idol group
SutoPuri. This collaboration brought together Riin along with her fellow performers,
Bau from the visual-kei group
Knight X, and
Chigusa-kun from the multifaceted group
AMPTAKxCOLORS.
The music video is a vibrant depiction of the song, which serves as the theme music for the newly released anime film,

Ruto, also a member of SutoPuri, who skillfully captures the bold and elegant lifestyle of the titular thief queen.
