“Workin’ Hard” by Fujii Kaze is the official theme song for the Japanese team representing the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023. This song conveys a message that goes beyond competition or visible outcomes; the efforts of everyone involved are also significant. Fujii Kaze is also a singer who advocates love and acceptance. In this song, besides emphasizing hard work, he also suggests taking a break and giving yourself some rest after you work hard. In this music video, I want to depict the connection between hard work and perseverance through characters' looping animations that the audience can relate to. The green energy flowing through the characters symbolizes the power of dedication, but when this energy gathers and reaches its peak, it signifies the time to chill and relax.
