We’ll re-upload the video clip once the editing is complete.
Furthermore, we would like to clarify that it is not true that the music video was made available at the request of Olivia Rodrigo. We have never received any requests regarding this matter and we hope that there will be no more misunderstandings for artists and fans alike due to unverified reports. In the future, we would also like to ask that you refrain from mirroring unconfirmed speculation.
