help Hitchcock FAQ
Is Hitchcock actually an anime short film or a Yorushika music video?
The widely documented Japanese animated work called Hitchcock is Yorushika's music video for the song "Hitchcock," not a standalone anime film. The song was released in 2018 and later appeared on the 2019 album That's Why I Gave Up on Music.
What is Yorushika's Hitchcock about?
The lyrics follow a student asking a teacher difficult questions about happiness, youth, work, and the purpose of life. Its school imagery and recurring questions give the animated video a narrative shape, but it does not tell a conventional Alfred Hitchcock-style suspense story.
Who performs the song in the Hitchcock animated video?
Hitchcock is performed by Yorushika, the Japanese rock duo built around composer and guitarist n-buna and vocalist suis. It belongs to the same early Yorushika period as "Itte" and "Tada Kimi ni Hare."
Do I need to watch another Yorushika video before Hitchcock?
No, Hitchcock works as a self-contained music video and can be watched without knowing Yorushika's broader discography. Listeners who like its student-teacher framing can continue with the album That's Why I Gave Up on Music, which develops related ideas about art, dissatisfaction, and escape.
