volleyboys 「graduate」mv
An 18 year-old boy on his graduation day. This would be the last homeroom with his classmates and his teacher. The empty seat reminded him of a girl who left school before graduating who was like a heroine from a teen movie. When he looks out the window, the girl is there. He and his classmates burst out of the classroom. We just don’t like goodbyes... That’s why we never become adults.
