Synopsis

The story is of a girl who is in a strange dimension, searching for the meaning of her love. This is portrayed with two girls (the two parts of her), one saying that love is something to take, while the other arguing that love is something to give. But instead of arguing with words, they are playing poker to see who the winner will become.

The story features two personalities of the same girl wondering what love is about (giving or taking). The art and animation are very well on par with the music's pacing and the use of DECO*27's Rock genre instruments fits the story really well. Marina's singing is also done so in a very melodic voice, dragging the words and notes brilliantly to emphasize their meaning. She also matches her singing to the beat of the song. The song also has a very catchy chorus which is repeated with a different intonation, which follows the emotions of the characters. The build up movement from the music is alsovery inspiring. I also found that the many breaks in the song for instrumental queues to be appropriately enjoyful. Hope you enjoy or have enjoyed it as much as I did!

(First of all: since it's a review of a 4-minutes music video, I'm focusing more on the visuals, story [told by the lyrics] and sound, so character rating is almost irrelevant for the overral and enjoyment ratings.) What is the most important, valorize yourself or let yourself fall in love for someone? Egomama, a song compose by the well-known Vocaloid composer Deco*27 and performed by marina (which is very known as Iwasawa vocals in Angel Beats! songs), tells the internal struggle of a girl in order to find the answer for this question. This music video has some nice animation and charming designs, fitting perfectly the lyricsand sound. And marina's voice is amusing - still not so good as in her Angel Beats! songs, but still outstanding. In the end, I can say Egomama is one of the most amazing animated music video out there, with some nice romantic meaning. If you still haven't watched, check it out.
