The world is available for a limited time until June 27, and can only be visited between midnight and 5:00 AM daily. The song is the ending theme for the TV anime \"NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE.\" The music video itself was filmed inside VRChat, using a 3DCG cityscape presented in a 4:3 aspect ratio with visual processing that mimics old TV footage. The released world reproduces that scenery exactly. Outside the designated hours, visitors see only a dark space with a single TV. The world includes a camcorder gimmick: picking it up overrides the user's camera to show footage from the camcorder's perspective, matching the MV's cinematography. Touching a specific part of the camcorder triggers the actual MV footage on a monitor. Background artist and 3D modeler Aigami Aoi, who directed the MV, confirmed that while some elements are new, the MV was filmed in this space. The world is exclusive to PCVR and Windows desktop users.","whyItMatters":"The release turns a music video's virtual filming location into an interactive, time-gated experience, blending promotional content with immersive world design rather than simply publishing the video as a 360-degree playback.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eBackground artist and 3D modeler Aigami Aoi, who directed the music video, confirmed that while some elements in the VRChat world are newly created, the MV was filmed in this same space.
