However, the ‘Shelter’ music video isn’t just about showcasing cute moe characters and beautiful landscapes. If you watch it, you’ll quickly realize that the team behind the video has successfully presented a heartwarming story in just six minutes.
‘Shelter’ revolves around a girl named Rin, voiced by Sachika Misawa (also known for voicing Kuroyukihime from ‘Accel World’). This 17-year-old girl lives alone in a futuristic simulation world where she can create anything she desires, almost like a goddess.
Why does she have to live in a simulation world? The initial scenes of the video show that the world outside the simulation has been devastated, leaving only ruins. At the beginning, Rin waits for a message from someone that never arrives. It’s evident that she’s growing weary of her situation. While she claims not to be alone, her tone and demeanor suggest otherwise.
What exactly happened to the Earth? Why is Rin confined to the simulation? Can she ever leave? Who is the person whose message she has been waiting for all these years? Gradually, Rin begins to recall forgotten memories. Will the answers to these questions shatter her? Or will they make her even stronger?
If you don’t know the answers yet, it means you haven’t watched the video. So go ahead and watch it below.

Especially if you’re an anime fan.
