Background[]
"gift nor art" is a trance song by Hanasoumen-P, with lyrics by chu-ji. It is over six minutes long and is best known for its accompanying music video, which took Tripshots about a year to create. Tripshots had first hinted about the "gift nor art" video on his website in spring 2012, along with glimpses of the Miku model Tripshots created specifically for the video.
The PV is often compared to Tripshot's previous work: "Nebula", showing a significant change of style and animation quality . Both songs share similar themes; like "Nebula", "gift nor art" features these messages written in the video:
- reproduction
- a lost version – you are not the chosen one
- Created by Sound
- The significance of existence undefined.
- Created by longing.
- She had unlimited possibilities.
- Through technology, machines are allowed reproduction.
- machine – organism convergent evolution
- She was created.
- She gains strength through our desire.
- Through connections with others, living creatures recognize their existence.
- Exceed the bounds of your imagination.
"gift nor art" has entered the Hall of Fame. It is featured on Tripshots Artworks PRODUCT No.02.

| 耳元で 笑う | mimimoto de warau |
| 意味を問い 騙る | imi o toi, kataru |
| ――得欠いてきたものは 何色だろう | –egaitekita mono wa naniro darou |
| ♬ | |
| 説明を飾るくらいなら | monogatari o kazaru kurai nara |
| 望まれた嘘の方が美しい | nozomareta uso no hou ga utsukushii |

| 意識すら 戯る | ishiki sura azaru |
| 言葉遊びで区別した幻 | kotoba asobi de waketa maboroshi |

| この瞳が何故 君を―― | kono me ga naze, kimi o– |
| 個々を映すのか | koko o utsu no ka |

| 理由を訴う ずっと | wake o utau, zutto |
| 「私」であるように | watashi de aru youni |

| ここにいるよ ずっと | koko ni iru yo, zutto |
| 「私」を描いて―― | watashi o egaite– |
| unplot world | unplot world |
| all is fled | |
| seize the right | |
