Abstract

This thesis entitled, "The Relationship Between the Lyrics and Visuals of YOASOBI's Music Video Into the Night" examines the relationship between the lyrics and the visuals. The research design applied is the qualitative approach making use of a close reading method to analyze the images/visuals and the lyrics. This close reading method's result is interpreted using Roland Barthes’ semiotic (denotation and connotation concept). Barthes’ denotation and connotation concept is used to interpret the meaning of the visuals. In addition, Carol Vernallis’ theory of music videos is also applied to analyze the relationship between the lyrics and the visuals in music videos. The researcher separates the scene into 8 scenes as the unit of analysis based on the plot depicted and appropriateness or relevance as the research object. The study's conclusions revealed that, in the first place, Into the Night depicts the story of a man who falls in love with a lady who repeatedly asks him to commit suicide until he finally decides to do it with her. Into the Night makes extensive use of metaphors to enhance the meaning and plot of the music video. Metaphors help to close narrative gaps and keep the story's meaning and message on track. The majority of the metaphors in Into the Night take the shape of doors, butterflies, and flowers, all of which have specific meanings in Japanese culture. The second findings are the connection between Into the Night's lyrics and visuals. These two elements can help when one cannot adequately explain or describe what is happening. The male character's feelings toward his female co-star are conveyed in this song's lyrics, ranging from adoration and love to rage when neglected. The visuals describe the atmosphere that occurs in the lyrics. It depicts the feeling of their initial encounter, harmony, fallout, and ultimate choice to suicide together
