- You can see Beeshop put away the clip that reappears in the ending for a few frames. What I like is that, since he was discovered and caught before he could pick the lock, Kuriyama is the one who ends up opening the door to the new album with his own new clip, because he had to use the original to free Hachiya after he kept it in his mouth.This song sure got weird fast…
, which reveals the front of his jacket has a comb, we can get a full view of the bee motifs found in the protagonist's clothing.

On the other hand, the TV itself could be a nod to Ope, since the scene in minute of that MV shows a remote control turning off the screen and implies that the whole video is a sequence reproduced in a TV. Not to mention, Ope in general has a lot of TV-related imagery, like the windows of Steel's room that act as TV screens and broadcast the videos he watches on his phone for the viewer to see, at the beginning of the song.
のキリンってアミメキリンさんで、
番Bメロの三拍子とか、その後のサビのコードとか、あとの特徴的な進行もONE OFF MINDのCメロと同じですね...
The TV starts red but quickly turns green, a nod to the traffic lights festured in Neurosis and Ope.
The prisoner is located in room "AB 01", which probably stands for the acronym of Anaphylaxie Bee (AB), while the one owes to the fact that AB is the first song in the album of the same name (as seen in the crossfade video).On the other hand, as the Japanese fans already commented, the “No. 0088774” can be read as 8=Hachi, 8= Ya (another way to pronounce 8 in Japanese), 77=Nana and 4= Shi, spelling out Hachiya Nanashi, funnily enough, Hachiya had already used this method to sign as “774” in Lime Light’s credits. In case the “BEESHOP” namedrops weren’t blatant enough, this makes it 100% clear that the character we see in the prison is Hachiya himself.
Bメロで三拍子になる点
We see in the plate that the place the protagonist is about to enter is a bee library, which takes on a different connotation once you consider that the rest of the song doesn’t present bees as something positive.
, therefore this tunnel is either inside the MC’s imagination, or the library is inside his head and he is actually walking further into the corridor in reality.Regardless of which one is the case here, the important part is that the function of the evacuation sign is flipped. A normal one would be placed inside the building in order to show exit routes, but in this situation the MC is entering a building under the guidance of an evacuation sign, which brings me back to the idea that the entire library is an evacuation route that the MC traverses to flee from reality.
Given how Sakiyama has played a lot with signs in their previous collabs with Hachiya and used them to express the character’s emotional state, more specifically their willingness to ‘move forward’ with their lives or not (look no further than all the traffic signs/lights in Neurosis), I think it’s a very important detail that as it’s seen in , the prisoner is moving in the direction marked by an evacuation sign. It’s not the “stop/keep moving” dichotomy presented by traffic lights in previous songs, i.e the dilemma of living vs giving up on life (as Ope’s lyrics put it), here the character is straight up taking the easy way out by running away through the ‘evacuation route’ and drugging himself, so he doesn’t even have to think about what choice he’ll make.
Incidentally, the evacuation sign is shown to be located in a passageway with black walls and white flooring that doesn’t match the structure of the actual entrance displayed at or the insides of the library (
The full shot of the prisoner's back reveals that his jacket has a logo depicting the abdominal segment and stinger of a bee, with the text “Anaphylaxie” written at the bottom. Combined with

lets you see the design of the hallway’s floor and walls for a short second to compare them), and it pops up while the prisoner is walking towards the library, before we even see him get in front of the library’s double doors. Most importantly, there weren’t any passageways or evacuation signs outside the library, as can be corroborated in
閃光花火
Although just like it was Purple Hype’s Mv, not even drugs can fully conceal all the issues that motivated the protagonist to consume them in the first place. The same judging eyes that appear in almost all of Hachiya’s MV (both the Kokoronosuke and Sakiyama ones) are scattered across the library’s wall () and stare at everything the prisoner does, even if they are literally painted over by his high to seem less threatening.

These pigs are actually different from the dancing pigs in Purple Hype (those show up later), since they are wearing bowties that PH's pigs didn't have, but they have the same oddly specific “neck slightly bent to the side while flowers bloom in your eyes and your mouth is stuffed” pose that Nuro has in in Vital Sign’s thumbnail, albeit mirrored.

This pose and the expression on the prisoner’s face immediately reminded me of Purple Hype’s MC on my first watch (I’m talking about the kaleidoscope shot in minute
my favorite part!
豚とダンシング
Neurosis commented on the state of growing flowers in your eye socks with the lyrics "Ugh, there's nothing that's more annoying than this/ an empty head bloomed with blossoms" ( in Neurosis), and Happy Face outright showed its protagonist forming a smile cult as the 'flowers' bloomed in everyone heads and erased their depression, so it's no mystery that the motif of blooming eyes represents a fake or numbed happiness that the characters in the Bee-verse pursue when they have nothing else left.
Then, as if dancing with Purple Hype’s pigs in dresses at wasn’t enough, the song decides to employ a similar amount of bpm compared to PH during Hachiya’s conversation with his Kuriyama persona. The focus on PH must owe to the fact that, at the end of the day, it IS the first song that ‘Kuriyama Yuri’ produced after leaving behind the identity of ‘Hachiya Nanashi’.I don’t understand what the lyrics, so I’ll skip the conversation itself for now.

The change in perspective from Bee Shop happily dancing with the pigs to the lone sign in really drives the point home that what he is doing in there is pure escapism.Anyway, back to the frame-by frame analysis;
AB switches for a brief instant to the same riff that PH uses as bridge before its chorus.

The library acid trip already showed us the prisoner using bees as drugs, but now it goes from a metaphor to an actual pill he’s taking to get that firework high.In the following sequence, we see Hachiya making a mad sprint while under the influence of ‘bees’ once more, however, on this instance he isn’t alone. There’s a public that cheers on him as they see him shrug off the complex laser barrier and continue moving forward without screwing up, and I believe this to be what wraps up the “bees as drugs” analogy.This artist, disregarding names, made songs while enjoying the high that came with the bee’s toxic sting, this would be the act of releasing his music under the Hachiya Nanashi/Beeshop persona. At the same time, the audience saw the artist succeed despite the difficulties in his path and decided to cheer him on, unaware that he wouldn’t be able to go on as Beeshop due to the negative consequences and pressure of this ‘high’, which in the video is represented by having Hachiya Nanashi end up in prison after his bank heist fails and the animal police puts him in jail, leaving only Kuriyama to carry on in his stead; free in the outside world.The prisoner, Hachiya, destroyed the camera keeping an eye on him, so we won’t ever know what was of him (just like how now we technically won’t get to hear more “Hachiya” songs), but he got Kuriyama a ticket to the stage from the Bee Bank and an album from the Bee library, so they are still both “Bees” even if the disc is placed on a new player and now the centerpiece of its decoration is Kuriyama's flowers.Aaaaand that was it, a lot of love and care was put into this MV, so I greatly enjoyed rewatching Hachiya/Beeshop/Kuriyama’s other videos to catch any possible references. It gave me a bigger appreciation of his amazing discography, and also gave me another chance to take delight in Sakiyama and Koronosuke’s god-tier work. Anaphylaxie Bee truly feels like what Dramaturgy is to Eve or If There was an Endpoint is to Tuyu, it’s THE ultimate Beeshop song.Other neat details that I would like to highlight:

-Kuriyama is wearing a suit with the same bluish-purple color as the coat of the “ideal self” of PH’s protagonist wears during his drug-induced hallucinations (go to to see it properly, but it’s actually the video’s thumbnail so you don’t even need to bother). Again, this song feels a bit like a Purple Hype sequel.-I love the fact that they went with “Hachiya holding a gun” for Aphylaxie Bee’s thumbnail, since the firearms&tanks motif was part of Dizzy Dizzy, which as I mentioned is the last song that “Hachiya Nanashi” himself released.-SAN値足りない wrote down the songs referenced during Hachiya’s post-heist escape, so I’ll put their English names here.

in its MV to see it). The gesture of putting your middle and ring finger on your thumb to resemble a mouth is normally used to mimic a fox, but Neurosis as a representation of rabbits because one of its main motifs was the rabbit-duck illusion. Nuro was visible scared of those rabbits, probably because they were the successful people he could never become as he wavered between being a duck and a rabbit, but that’s a topic for Neurosis’ comment section.The rest of neon signs could be more references to DD, since that song does feature a lot of palm trees (like REALLY a lot) together with junk-food eating and has a general theme of mindless indulgence that fits all the pub and bar logos in this scene, but it could also just be a random assortment of funky neon signs that look cool, which would be good too.
