I'm not sure about yuri-ness here, I think the idol is a crossdresser (see the transition of the black-haired boy into the pink-haired idol). Also for some reason they're involved in a military coup, wtf is going on

Either way, Yonemai's designs are incredible as usual, this was a great project with awesome MVs. So many talented creators involved.

Here it says: "Same person?" I think it kind of alludes to the boy crossdressing as a girl.

I mean, it could've been a girl who crossdresses as a boy in school. That would make sense if it's to hide the idol identity. Not sure if japanese schools would be okay with that tho.

Military coup? I'm pretty sure the giant black sphere is an alien object/invasion force, and the idol/guy was drafted to help out the war effort somehow.

After PV, I felt that COLORs gives me Yoku vibes.
After watching full version this feels increased and now that I looked at Staff and checked Yoneyama Mai's works and I see she worked for Yoku!
Well... That explains everything! 😆

If somebody like COLORs I highly recommend Yoku

Either a boy crossdress as girl, or the opposite. But personally I believe it is actually a girl.

I know people who think she is a boy because in the first scene shows a girl looking at the boy by the window, but I think the opposite because around 1:50 there is the girl with and adult talking about something (which I believe some sort of mission) and the next scene show a boy get introduced to the class. I think she crossdressing as a boy as a part of her mission in that school, or town to exact.

I think in that scene he's taken out from the class because he got drafted in the military. That's why the girl looks so shocked

The sign on the blackboard says "Congratulations! Special Cadet"



There's also a scene where's he's working out without the pink wig (if the black hair were the wig, he would not wear it during workout), definitely a boy.

The one working out is the black haired girl. You can see she has brown eyes, while the pink girl have green.

The only scenes that shows the boy is only in class, while the rest throughout the MV is the pink haired girl. Which make me think that the real one is the idol/model pink haired girl, and the boy is only born after the talk with the adult that made her enrolled to the black haired girl's school as a boy with mission as some secret agent to infiltrate the militer/terrorist? (because only boy can have way (higher chance) to join them).

And the black haired girl doodling the girl the pink girl then the boy with caption "same person?" which make me think she knows the pink haired girl longer because she idolized her for a long time. So when there is suddenly a boy that resembled her idol, it made her curious.

It's the boy who is working out, you can see the mole :) I think he wears colored contacts when he dresses as the pink-haired girl. His eyes does look browner in the workout scene, but he definitely doesn't have the vibrant green either in the classroom scene or the scene where it transitions from boy to girl version (0:32).

The first adult he's talking with in the cafe is probably his mom or his manager as an idol, they are looking at a time schedule.
The other, glasses wearing guy he's talking to, who is also standing in front of the helicopter at the very end, is a goverment guy who drafts her.

After that he is taken out from school and transfers to a special branch of the military. He is heading their to join up, wearing his miilitary uniform on the train, when the alien / kaijuu black sphere attacks the city. There are no terrorists in this story.

The only thing I'm wondering, why he is asked to join the military as an idol? He will be a poster girl/boy for the war effort, like the sky marshall in Starship Troopers?

No. if you look at it in more detail in a few seconds he is a boy outside of school he looks like a girl. Don't be too quick to judge if this is Yuri's anime. but to be honest the woman's appearance is very beautiful I harp the studio made a romance anime version and the heroine is a woman who looks like in that video

If you were in the military. Would you crossdressing for a MILITARY operation, or would you still use your normal state?

If you answer this question, then at first glance the answer is obvious. She is a girl.
BUT. If she a girl, why she have pink hair? I think whats it impossible wear short black wig, with long pink hair. 
So there 5 option
1. He is a guy that's crossdressing for a battle operation(Lolwut)
2. She is a girl that's use wig for a battle operation (Lolwut x2)
3. She is a girl with natural pink hair and short black wig. (How she use short black wig? Is there something I don't know? And short wig is possible to wear with long hair?)
4. It's two different people.
5. He is a guy that's going to change chothes for a battle operation in end.

 He's probably hired by the military as a poster idol, to encourage more people to join up.

At least I do not think he has any special powers to fight or talent to be a commander.

Poster idol in fight. Oh my, it's so necessary. (Civilian in battle for military guys — headache. )

Militaries not have any special powers. It's just people with guns. Really. IRL it's just people that been trained to fight. They can't use fireballs, iceballs, etc. 
Did you see the absolute calmness of a girl\boy in distress? And fast reaction to save MCgirl?
It looks like the behavior of a military man who has seen a lot of shit.

Also,  calmness+casual clothes+that she\he went to the military= High military rank that have BIG necessity.

(Btw, high military rank in VERY young age = nonsense. But it's anime after all.)

Result: Using wig for the workout = shit. So he is a boy. Crossdresser in battle = shit. So she is a girl. Sooooo it's not a boy and not a girl. Lul.
Result x2: may be, boy and girl it's brother and sister? This solves all problems.

My first impression from "aw she likes her ♥" to "crossdressing?" to "the world is ENDING?!" was so. So.
......Please sir can I have some more?

Gagged! I wasn't ready to be pulled in so many directions.

So it seems she was first infatuated with a pink beauty. Couldn't get the girl off her mind. Mysteriously, a male classmate has a mole in the same place.. the way she'd recognize her anywhere ;; in the workout scene my mind immediately thought it was a binder lol. Or a sports bra. But yes, interesting gender play. The music and visuals are freakin gorgeous. The depth, the lighting!

Dude, you're retarded. First of you don't need to diss people to garner attention and put bunch of puerile assumptions after. Let me get this straight, your words are literally rowing further away from your mouth with your ridiculous demeanour. Based on your illiterate assumptions, your knowings are too shallow to even create a discussion in this forum in the first place, that even my dog would understand because you're a goof. Second, we do not need to be reminded that militaries do not have special powers, because it is way out in the open that these people (military) are highly trained individuals. Guns aren't their only arsenal in the battlefield as you can see, they also possess tanks and aircraft to help them transport and eradicate the enemies within the vicinity of the battlefield. Third, it is fiction so expect impossible things to happen, even if there's 1 in a million chances, the pink girl likely saves the girl at the speed of light. 

"calmness+casual clothes+that shehe went to the military." You are embarrassing yourself, as people from the military are supposed to be calm and collected at times, not only that they are supposed to follow but it is a must. Casual military clothing is always prescribed before entering or being deployed in the battlefield. In military, physical strength and size is not enough to ultimately dress them as officials, they are highly intended to maintain their composure at times to allow their psychological behaviour and sanity remain intact while fighting for their life. 

You are solving nothing because of how stupid you are, aimlessly pouring out and grasping weird ideas from your head thinking like you're a professor saving the world or something. Someone like you deserves a reality check because I assume you're an other-worldly freak who just got reincarnated recently out of a monkey's womb. In conclusion, the boy is a girl.

So much talking about whether they’re a boy or girl, but maybe they’re just both and neither! I feel like I focused more on the absolutely amazing visuals, and now I just want them to actually turn this into something longer!

At around 1:50 you can see her talking with some guy which looked like it was probably getting/giving information on something. I think it pertained to her involvement in whatever happened at the end. Because when we first see chaos break out she seems suspiciously calm. Then after she kissed the (mc?) black haired girl on the forehead there were people there to escort the black haired girl very quickly. Assumidly because they would have been working with/for her and therefore nearby. Then at the very end, in the final scene, she walks towards a helicopter with a bunch of military personal around it. She FOR SURE is apart of a bigger picture and I'd assume an important part of that picture given it seems the personal work for her more than with imo.

Only thing that's kind of weird is why at around 2:28 the tank (that we see in the next scene) tries to shoot her. It could have been aiming at MC but even then it doesn't really make sense. Why would it be aiming at a civilian or someone working with them? Maybe it was aiming at neither but something entirely different. Maybe thw shot came from somwthing entirely different. I've got no idea. We don't see anyone else except regular people, pink hair, black hair, and military personal.

@Luigi11Ism It's a boy that crossdresses as an idol and was drafted into special forces, and the teachers even make the draft as a reason to congratulate him in front of class. Being a spy makes no sense, it also makes no sense that he is a woman because we can literally see him workout with a compression shirt, not a chest binder or a sports bra.

@Suginami85 hey that makes sense...


So the story is a girl in the guy's class Secretly likes him, he turns into a girl but the girl still recognised him. He was talking to other people what to do with somethings. Got scouted in the military as they knew a kaiju attack was going to happen soon, as they picked up radiation singnals beforehand. To join the military he worked out a bit and trained.
At last when the attack happened the girl confessed to him and said she still accepts him as he is, he kissed the girl in the forehead saying wait for me (or not). And that's the end.
Wow finally figured out the story, and that's the best explanation I can come up with.


Just the only one thing, why did he turn into a girl in the first place, he didn't like being boy or something else and why would the military allow that!
