Synopsis:
Set against a backdrop of desolate landscapes and fragmented memories, this animated short explores themes of identity and connection in a world grappling with loss. A solitary figure navigates a dreamlike environment populated by evocative imagery and fleeting encounters. The animation employs a distinctive visual style, blending surreal scenery with emotionally resonant character expressions. It evokes a sense of quiet contemplation, inviting viewers to interpret the narrative through symbolic representations rather than straightforward storytelling. The work offers a meditative experience, prioritizing atmosphere and emotional impact over conventional plot development, prompting reflection on the nature of self and the enduring power of memory within an uncertain reality.

A beautiful MV for an amazing song, not much needs to be said. To hit the word count, I'll elaborate. Sand Planet is not my favourite Vocaloid song but I genuinely don't believe it deserves anything below a 10. Music is mostly too subjective for me to lower the score of this MV because it's not my favourite genre of music. The song is pretty catchy, and definitely earned a spot on my playlist regardless. Miku is tuned pretty nicely here and I really adore Hachi / Kenshi Yonezu's guitar; it has a distinct sound to it. The lyrics of the song are quite thoughtful too. Ienjoyed noticing the references to other Vocaloid songs, and referring to NicoNico as a desolate waste made me laugh. (He's not wrong.)nnMusic aside, the video is very nice. I love the colour palette, and Miku's design is very unique. It's distinctly Miku but still stands out. The masked background characters are quite interesting too. More than just the art, the animation is nice. Both the characters and the environment move believably.nnOverall, of the Vocaloid MVs that are listed on MAL at the time of writing this, Sand Planet is the one of the best MVs. Although it clearly gets its message across, at the end of the MV I'm left wanting to see just a bit more of the universe that it built!
