Porter Robinson, Shelter Music Video:
Editing this page:Shelter (Porter Robinson and Madeon song)
As a long time fan of Japanese pop culture[1], Robinson originally approached A-1 Pictures to make Shelter because it was the studio that created Anohana!, a show that matches his sensibilities as an artist. Porter had originally met with these future colleagues at an anime expo in japan in 2015 but had no idea at the time he would be coming back so often.[2] Unfortunately, Robinson was unable to partner with the core staff of that show but still worked with A-1 Pictures', Toshifumi Akai and Megumi Kouno who had work experience on The Idol Master. Overall, the Shelter music video still had the same vibe as Anohana![3] due to the dialogue in the music video matching with the theme of the anime[4].
The collaborating artist Madeon, a French DJ, is also a fan of older anime such as Case Closed, Death Note, and Hayao Miyazaki films[5]. Although friends for 10 years, this is their first collaboration together. Robinson came up with the basic melody whilst Madeon helped with the finer details. They both took on this project with a hands-on approach to the songwriting process, in real-time and challenging each other. Their inspiration was an ode to family ties while is also an example of their friendship. Porter's tweets[6] leading up the release showed him overcome his depression in 2015[7] and how working together with Madeon made him very proud.[8] This collaboration was well earned as Porter was nominated for Single of the Year and Live Act of the Year, for his single "Shelter".
As a one time single, it was accompanied by a back-to-back tour called the Shelther Live Tour[9]. Porter tweeted saying "it IS a one-song, one-tour thing. this is a Japanese-exclusive physical release of the song Shelter[10]". Since japan is still is very invested in physical copy releases of music, Porter went on to say this is why it exists[11]. He also went on by saying that the Japanese label packaged the physical releases with other things such as piano versions, a couple remixes, and older music[12]. Porter made it clear to American fans that this release is for the Japanese people and American fans aren't even really supposed to be aware of the physical release[13]. The piano and strings version in the physical release has no dialogue in it which makes the language barrier very easy to overcome.[14] For the future, Porter made it clear he will be doing less festivals and working on things he's planned on finishing[15].
