If you thought “たりない Still Not Enough” was just another anime ending theme song, think again.
Just weeks after the song became the ending theme for the latest chapter of LIAR GAME, muque unveils a music video that turns its bittersweet groove into a full-blown 80s spectacle. Surrounded by 40 dancers beneath glittering mirror balls, the trio steps into a dazzling retro world that amplifies every ounce of the song’s irresistible rhythm.
The visual doesn’t need a new story, it just brings the song’s unmistakable 80s atmosphere to life. Retro-inspired styling, vibrant choreography and an expansive dance floor transform “たりない Still Not Enough” into something that feels both nostalgic and fresh, allowing viewers to experience the track’s groove in a whole new way.
Despite its glamorous setting, the emotional core remains unchanged. Beneath the disco lights lies the same lingering sense of longing and vulnerability that made the song resonate, proving that muque can make melancholy just as danceable as it is heartfelt.
Released earlier this month, “たりない Still Not Enough” serves as the ending theme for the latest chapter of LIAR GAME, the long-awaited first anime adaptation of Shinobu Kaitani’s legendary psychological suspense manga. Fans can also watch the anime’s non-credit ending sequence featuring the song on YouTube.
Following the release of their second album “GLHF” and an extensive run of live shows across Japan and Asia, muque continues to build momentum with a visual that’s every bit as bold as the track itself. Having introduced the song through LIAR GAME, muque now invites listeners to experience “たりない Still Not Enough” beyond the anime.
About muque
muque is a three-piece band consisting of Asakura (vocals and guitar), takachi (drums and track-making), and Kenichi (guitar).
The core of their creative process revolves around takachi, who acts as the drummer while driving the track-making and arrangements, and Asakura, who shapes the tracks with her top-lining and lyrics.
Their signature appeal lies in the synergy of their individual styles: takachi crafts highly contemporary tracks inspired by global sounds, stretching far beyond the US and UK to incorporate Asian global beats, while Asakura weaves a poignant lyrical world over melodies infused with a subtle, traditional Japanese essence. Brought to life by Asakura’s emotional vocal delivery, these elements blend together to create a completely distinct sonic universe.
The name “muque” is a clever play on musique (the French word for music) and muku (the Japanese word for pure or innocent). Because muku signifies being unblemished, the name embodies their core philosophy: to create “untainted music” and stubbornly pursue the exact sound they want, entirely uninfluenced by the trends around them.
