Thought Crime

Music video directed and animated by Rabbit MACHINE for the song <i>Thoughtcrime</i> by Yorushika.<br></br> The theme of thoughtcrime is plagiarized from George Orwell's novel, "1984." Then, the moment it was declared that it's plagiarized, the plagiarized work changed form into a homage. The line between doing plagiarism and doing a homage seems ambiguous, and the truth is that that line doesn't exist anywhere. It holds true even when the role is reversed. A homage holds a great risk of becoming plagiarism.<br></br> The lyrics to this song pays homage to Ozaki Hosai's haiku and his final years of life.<br></br>
