Liar Game’s Ending Theme Gets a Glittering 80s Makeover
“たりない Still Not Enough” already had fans hooked as the haunting ending theme for Liar Game, but Muque isn’t content to let the song live in the anime’s shadow. The J-pop trio just dropped a music video that reimagines the track as a full-blown 80s disco spectacle, complete with 40 dancers, glittering mirror balls, and a dance floor built for nostalgia. It’s a bold visual swing that proves muque has plenty more to say about the song beyond its anime tie-in.
The video arrives at a pivotal moment for the band, fresh off the release of their second album and an extensive run of live shows across Japan and Asia. Rather than lean on the anime connection that first introduced the song to listeners, muque uses the video to stake out its own creative territory, turning a bittersweet track into a glittering, high-energy spectacle built to stand on its own.
From Anime Tie-In to Retro Dance Floor Spectacle
Muque’s new music video doesn’t try to tell a new story — instead, it leans fully into the unmistakable 80s atmosphere baked into “たりない Still Not Enough,” using retro-inspired styling, vibrant choreography, and an expansive dance floor to transform the track into something that feels both familiar and brand new. The result gives longtime fans and first-time listeners alike a fresh way to experience the song’s groove.
Surrounded by 40 dancers beneath glittering mirror balls, the three-piece band steps into a dazzling retro world built to amplify every ounce of the song’s irresistible rhythm. The scale of the production marks a clear step up for muque, showing a group willing to go all in on spectacle to match the ambition of the music itself.
Despite the glamorous setting, the emotional weight of the song hasn’t gone anywhere. Beneath the disco lights lies the same lingering sense of longing and vulnerability that made “たりない Still Not Enough” resonate with listeners in the first place. Muque proves with this video that melancholy can be just as danceable as it is heartfelt — without losing an ounce of its emotional sincerity.
The Song’s Anime Roots and What Comes Next for muque
“たりない Still Not Enough” was released earlier this month as the ending theme for the latest chapter of Liar Game, the long-awaited first anime adaptation of Shinobu Kaitani’s celebrated psychological suspense manga. Fans looking to revisit the song in its original context can still catch the anime’s non-credit ending sequence featuring the track on YouTube.
The music video’s release comes on the heels of major momentum for muque. The group recently dropped their second album, “GLHF,” and wrapped an extensive run of live shows across Japan and Asia, building a growing fan base eager for their next move. This retro-glam visual keeps that momentum rolling, delivering a project as bold and ambitious as the track that inspired it.
Having first introduced “たりない Still Not Enough” to audiences through Liar Game, Muque is now inviting listeners to experience the song on its own terms, far beyond the anime that helped launch it. It’s a statement that the band’s ambitions extend well past being just another anime tie-in act — and the glittering, high-energy visual makes that case loud and clear.
