IA - Imagination Forest (想像フォレスト) video

It's a monster! IAAAAAAAAAA!! Jin's fifth song! If only it were Number 7. (If anyone actually gets that, good on them.) According to a tweet Jin made, when the girl tells the boy "you'll turn to stone," the boy hears it the wrong way; the Japanese sentence doesn't explicitly say "you," so he thinks it's the girl who will be "petrified" with shyness. Thus, a better translation of that part would be: ""If I look you in the eye... turn to stone..." I stammered, but they just smiled." The hood and the iPod are worn by members of the Blindfold Gang from one of Jin's other songs, Blindfold Cord (and the girl from it appears at 4:02). Jin has explained numerous external things about the song on Twitter and whatnot, so here goes: The girl's name is Mary. She's 5 years old in the parts where she looks like a kid, but 140 for most of the song. While her parents told her that looking at people would turn them to stone - and this was true - she would become able to control this power with age. However, some boys attacked Mary one day, and her mom was forced to turn one to stone, dying in the process. So Mary was never told that her power could be controlled, and lived alone fearing it. Over a hundred years later, a boy from the Blindfold Gang visits Mary, thinking she's just a shut-in. (Well, not like he's wrong.) He invites her to join the Blindfold Gang, giving her a hood and iPod, and Mary is glad to learn she won't turn someone to stone just by looking at them. Original video ...
