Kyooshi Kyooai' lyric video has been produced by OTORIO, the same creative team behind the brilliant video for 'Car♡Wash♡Girl', as well as being responsible for music videos for DECO*27. The powerful sound mixed with the pale aesthetic illustration combine to bring the track's world even further alive.
