Japanese Breakfast Releases 'Picture Window' Music Video

Japanese Breakfast has released a new music video for their song 'Picture Window,' directed by lead vocalist Michelle Zauner. The video features actors Kim Gyuri and Omega Sapien and explores themes of anxiety and the passage of time, with Zauner reflecting on her own experiences with loss and intrusive thoughts. Filmed in Seoul while Zauner was living there, the video juxtaposes vibrant scenes with cold hues, capturing the dynamic of a couple navigating their relationship amidst uncertainty. Zauner aimed for the video to feel like a short film, using a tracking shot to symbolize the relentless passage of time. The song is part of Japanese Breakfast's latest album, 'For Melancholy Brunettes (& Sad Women),' which was released recently. Critics have noted the emotional depth and visual storytelling in both the song and the video.
