Music video

The single's video was directed by Nagi Noda, and shot in Tokyo, Japan. It uses the Kuroko technique, where the band members act out a scene round a dining table against a black background. Stagehands (dressed completely in black, and effectively invisible) move props, furniture and bits of costume to surreal effect. Jake Shears and Babydaddy have said that there was only one visual effect in this video, but its whereabouts have not yet been confirmed.[ citation needed ]
