Louis Vuitton "Superflat Monogram" - Takashi Murakami

[hejafish]

Hope you don't think it's 'lame' but I've re-uploaded an edited version of this video with different music! I think the music is better on my upload! (although I do love FPM) :¬)

[KobyWayne]

this vid reminds me of an anime movie called, Summer Wars.

[hikarudrafts]

this is what happens when you go to Louis Vuitton in Japan.

[puddmuddle]

she get sent to oz?

[MochiPuff58]

I swear to god i see one more digimon look alike comment i will explode!

Superflat is a newly invented art style created by Takashi Murakami which he

produced several artworks on it and this short film!

[Graynumber]

@MochiPuff58 Looks like Digimon. So people're gonna say that. I think it's neat.

[MochiPuff58]

@Graynumber Grrr....It's ART!!

*^*

[Deofiro09]

What did i just watch?

[Seventy4days]

digimon + summer wars = louis vuitton?

I'm down

[kujafangirl101]

^_^

[BattletoDeath]

dman it, im the wierd part of youtube AGAIN!!!

[sofuckinndope]

oh no ! he ate the cell phone & then he ate her & it transported her into Louis Vuitton Dimension

[RaymondoPerson]

@Ultrasecond I know this is an ancient comment, but I'm just curious... do you still believe everything you wrote here? because unless I'm 100% mistaken, it's pretty off... your definition of Superflat seems based entirely on the misguided old Wikipedia entry and as far as I know Masaaki Yuasa has never stated that he's influenced by Superflat, let alone that he IS a "Superflat artist".

[AnimeIntroStyles4]

lol. I uploaded this too, but it's not because I'm trying to steal your precious views (which is over 1 million) lol. Just wanted to upload it in higher HD quality.

[Auggiekins]

The visuals were and eyefuck and the music was an earfuck, and I don't think they went together well, but for some reason I freaking love this. I'm kind of annoyed that people wont stop comparing it to digimon, even though it does look similar.

[macekekas]

I just had a trip 

[Aicirt8]

Huh, that was weird.

[hideouschud]

WOW... Murikami must be really into Pavlov. Cause everytime that I see color I start to salivate.

[Juggernaughty824]

Digimon the Movie -> Superflat Monogram -> Summer Wars...

[xxxanimepopxxx]

@Juggernaughty824 Nope.avi

[YOKObadapple]

Why Louis Vuitton? :S

[Missbeepage]

@YOKObadapple they pay for it ...? whats why

[palauskas]

they are obese panda's inside of obese pandas ! its japanese/french/ a little italian INCEPTION !!!!!

[yourlilemogirl]

either i'm being sold the best crack ever or i was watching what happens when you mix digimon movies with panda bears made out of rich people's luggage brands.....

[TheTimewarrior1]

Can I just have my phone back?

[isawrluna]

like this if you came here because of tvtropes.

[modeling4Fashion]

Takahashi + LV = perfect combo for making fashion history!

[KoopaKontroller]

why can't we have commercials like this?

[abandonedtemperance]

Reminds me of Summer Wars movie. ^_^ I like this

[ArceusDX]

Welcome to the world of Oz...wait...wrong movie....wait, this is an advert?

[kitsune720]

These videos are like animated acid-trips lol

[EdsAlchemistFriend]

For those who have pointed out that the art style is similar to Digimon and Summer Wars, this was directed by Mamoru Hosuda who directed in both those works as well. :)

[sayatheblakat]

It's like Digimon and Summer Wars

[peterbarniereturn]

se parece la animacion de summer wars y la cancion parece de los miis del nintendo wii xD

[Sweetlove722]

It's so cute!!

[sclp04]

I want a little friend like she had on her shoulder. Lol This video is awesome.

[poppotaku]

Who here only found out about superflat after seeing the google logo?

by the way, i still don't get what defines the superflat art style. =/.

[zuriharu]

me encanto



[jjyouarefunny]

This video is actually a legit way to attract people. Nicely made!

[briaweea02]

I was so excited to see that he made the Google logo this morning!<3

[jjyouarefunny]

@briaweea02 That's reminded me of this song!

[skyhawk431]

Anyone else see the google logo?

[mtksbctk]

@skyhawk431 yeah makes me want to watch this clip again

[shabu911]

lol this looks like digimon cept more fashionable xD

[akiratrooper]

@XARRESSX Sorry, but it does show up on the message inbox. The next time you turn into a ClusterFBomb, do some research. Think first before acting. Let this be a lesson.

[TheBrutalCheese]

I'm doing a case study on Murakami for a college project, and I found this randomly! Got so much reference to work with now :P

[akiratrooper]

@XARRESSX said "What the fuck does this have to do with you and your fucking orgasms?

Listen you sick cunt.

Keep your sick twisted thoughts somewhere else dumbfuck.

We don't give a fuck about mentally thick shits like you here."

it looks like someone DidNotDoTheResearch

[xxxanimepopxxx]

So basically the stroy is: Standing next to a Louis Vuitton store while looking at your cellphone will result in getting eat by a virtual panda.

[Levitz9]

@xxxanimepopxxx Not just ANY virtual panda, but Pandamon, an Oz-user from the Digital World that's leaping through time.

I'm surprised the girl didn't have to play Hanafuda for her phone.

[hotrods4ben]

This is freaky and adorable at the same time... I guess that's what Japanese artists do best :D

[moiaiyou19]

that damn pedobear just ate that girl!

[paperfeathers]

I love murakami to death but this borrows A LOT from the first digimon movie

[Ederlezi29]

@paperfeathers because this piece is actually directed by Hosoda, who directed Digimon movies as well. Murakami is like a producer in this one.

[deadfudge]

Don't stay outside of an LV store without going in. A monster will eat you.

[Hachiban08]

I still love this, even after 5 years <3

[playGr0undz]

5years ago?! wow and the quality is pretty damn good

[InuyashanKag]

@Animegal98 You mean caffine. Sugar doesn't make you hyper, it just makes you fat.

[LAZYTARD]

wow its been 5 years??? I remember when i first saw this. :P still pretty awesome

[CandyStarzz69]

Why is it that I gotta look ONLINE to find awesome commercials, like this one?

[Jjkaybomb]

girl, you just got FUCKING EATEN. Stop being all "ooh, colors! Yay, cellphone! Cool!"

[ElParcero7]

Are The Creators Related To DIGIMON

Works!?

[Lucas7Claus]

Who is the artist?

[WalkingGirlKoi]

The girl reminds me of Hikari from Digimon. And the panda's stomach is basically the Digital World on acid.

[hideouschud]

... 

[hideouschud]

...

[hideouschud]

Are'nt we all SUPERFLAT.



[hideouschud]

Are'nt we all SuperFlat. We are always chasing that new, awesome, unattainable chance at fitting in. TM does social commentary on a grand scale. Its accepted by all that sees the advert. It insults us. Has all of existence become a commercial and a chance to be heard on Youtube. Or so we can blog about it the next day. Everthing is sold and exploited at the same time. The only thing we can do is accept it, or get out of the way... Awsome commercial though.

[disracenboi336]

この音楽はほんと日本でしょ笑。。

乾杯！！

[modeling4Fashion]

Just bout my first Louis vuitton multicolor lodge!

[justKayla]

Totally just downloaded the mp3 and put it in my phone to listen to whenever I want. Thank you very much!

[the1minininja]

is anyone reminded of kirby

[saurers123]

is it just me or the art style looks like digimon the movie

[AfroLycan]

@saurers123 It's actually created by the same person that did the first two parts of the digimon movie.

[danielvutran]

@saurers123 YES. IT DOES.!111 LOL

[petitecherise]

@saurers123 It's actually from the same animator - Mamoru Hosoda

[Consequence]

Skipped lecture, eating day old bacon and drinking hot pepsi while watching this trippy video. Is there anything sweeter?

[maqnaify]

Debe ser uno de mis videos favoritos de Youtube (y uno de los más fumados)

[ShinTheSilverDemon]

People aren't walking past the Panda because they can't see it, this kind of thing happens all the time in Japan.

[PUVUL]

obra maestra de un gran genio del arte, como lo es takashi murakami,

[warvad]

holy terrible fucking quality batman

[maartenkoster]

when I saw this commercial first when I was 16 now 18 years old :)

[abandonnez]

Discovered this video when I was 14, rediscovered it was I was 18. Amazing how time passes and you always come back to the same things you enjoy.

[ismellflaminrainbows]

does anyone know the name of the song?

[Albinochaos]

@ismellflaminrainbows It's in the video description, Different Colors by Fantastic Plastic Machine.

[maddyiscrazy100]

Takashi's designs with louis vuitton really remind me of Pucci's designs you know with the bright colors and all.

[Sudenmieli]

reminds me of Summer Wars.

[00Jamiro00]

Was the artist on drugs???

[katiekatt108]

the panda thing ate a girl OMG WTF IS UP WIT THAT

[MJFG100]

107 people didn't get their cellphone back when the Panda ate it.

[eggyeggygoo]

this reminds me alot of Oz in summer wars!

[theuserofthissite]

I don't know what that little girl had, but I want some.

[modeling4Fashion]

So cute! I totally want one of the Takashi Murakami cherry Louis Vuitton wallets now!

[plasma4ce]

i wanna knw wat drugs murakami takes... >_>

[Jazikun]

This had good animation quality to it.

[CJAnonymous]

Does anyone know what the music here is?

[hideousdoll]

@CJAnonymous Fantastic Plastic Machine - Different Colors.

[Somebodylost]

Hello, Mind Screw. Yeah, TV Tropes lead me here.

[Zelenal]

Anyone besides BoringLongName (I want to add the "not a Wiki Word" markup to your name...) from TV Tropes?

[BoringLoginName]

Wow... I love you, TV Tropes.

[XoStarSiSterStudioXo]

u have a nice channel xD AND I LOVE LV!! nice animation <3

[acapulcoguy001]

looks like digimon and the music sounds like the mii channel

[touchanandmolestan]

@acapulcoguy001 Well, the director is the same guy who directed Digimon; Our War Game. You can see a lot of similarity in his other stuff like The Girl Who Leapt Through TIme and Summer Wars.

[13LuckyWishes]

Pedopanda, is that you? I thought your cousin Pedobear said you disappeared!

[terajiima]

@13LuckyWishes LOL

[TheSexyStreet]

No no no no no no no no no. I will not accept that this is a god-damn commercial.

[skyalchemistblue]

Cool.. Alice in Wonderland meets Digimon: the Movie!

[OhMyGoshItsALeg]

The process of digestion in a giant freaky spirit-panda...

[semo2010]

it feels like some boss battle in some game when she's inside.

[semo2010]

Has a very strong "summer wars" feel to it. Love the dark brown outline on the characters, nice little touch.

[Parchipexx]

Lovelovelove this lil commercial thing :) <3

Sidenote: Reminds me of the cover art for one of Kanye West's albums, haha

[TheHumanSpider]

@Parchipexx It's funny you say that, the artist for this spot did the cover art for his new album...

[Parchipexx]

@TheHumanSpider Oh really? Interesting!! :O

[sapphirebaby96]

i think i'd actually buy a LV bag if only this was the buying experience

[akiratrooper]

Design. Student's. ORGASM!

[sapphirebaby96]

@akiratrooper tropes. dot. ORG! ;-)

[chadzorz]

@akiratrooper Also has elements of the amazing Technicolor battlefield :p

[akiratrooper]

@chadzorz Yes, that too =D

[kitsune720]

Anytime I get a song stuck in my head for a while, I think of this tune and it goes away. :D

[HappyRussians]

Murakami is a great artist in my opinion.

As a history of art major, I think that asian contemporary art is the best kind of contemporary art.

[ReyhanSamitAlchemist]

--> Godmode [ON]

--> Interaction [ON]

--> Acid Bonus Unlocked

[Nadasulaki]

it's just a animoo version of alice in wonderland for a brand name purse company... I dont care for the purse design, this commercial however- is executed very nicely! :3

[TheRucaSama]

yeah this remind me a lot too of that anime.

the internet space, the little monsters

[RodExe]

I love how this vid reminds me of Digimon ^^

Great nostalgia filler!

[hectcuer85]

Such an amazing artist and had to partner up with an label that's so superficial.

[whyMQwhy]

Yeah, this doesn't remind me of Digimon at all.

/sarcasm

[cyborgtroy]

"I just wanted my goddamn phone back, not some kind of corporate acid trip"

[mdalsted]

Well, that was strange, but cute. :)

[ThePoptart28]

*watches*

*pause*

*sings*

I'M NOT SICK, BUT I'M NOT WELL...

[oaclo2]

am I the only one that thinks the animation looked exactly like the digimon anime? or is it by the same guy or something? I don't even know, I'm a little confused right about now. Go figure.

[SupperH333]

The most eloquent defense of our second amendment rights ever.

[radboyPT]

thanks for the music link, kind of reminds me of Daft Punk... :S

[bkatt500]

If she got there by being eaten by the panda, do I even want to know how she got out?

[Benji1780]

Dolce&Gabbana have the best designed handbags. (GirlieRewards, INF0)

[Nickfan001]

The music remnds me of a channel on the wii

[17Gugui]

LOVE IT :D

[vloweer]

omg i love Takashi Murakami's works! hq please ♥

[beinayo]

takashi murakami rules

[BenHutchinson1]

What is this ad actually advertising? Please let me know.

[Ragchaz]

@BenHutchinson1 Louis Vuitton...

[nekonekobot]

I like his weirdly cute art

[maisiebartlett]

this is wierd 

[DrunkDedede]

Suddenly, I wanna see a Digimon/Azumanga Daioh crossover.

[JoeyJoeJoJoe]

any one else reminded of digimon?

[anateresasilvaalves]

Can someone translate the japanese text messages showed in this video?

[TheChosenOne862]

ha lol i watched this high and shat myself

[MarysSounds]

This looks sooo much with the Oz cyberworld, in Summer Wars (same director)! If you people enjoyed the animation, then you MUST watch Summer Wars. This movie is incredible :)

[ecksoe]

utterly amazing! such beauty!!

[ChipMidget]

oookkkkaayyyyyyyy......

[finbinfarbar1]

well hmmmm......... bit odd that

[BuffyAnneWinchester]

Don't cry, little snowflake. People are allowed to upload the same videos as you. 

[cs3ink]

This is amazing. My girls LOVE the song, but the animation is just incredible.

[TaylorSwiftFan1662]

Is there an mp3 or could someone make an mp3 of the background song playing so i could download it? its so cute(:

[MidoriFan10]

Well, it doesn't really make me wanna buy anything.

[NY411son]

So this is where kanye got his artwork for his third album

[Duckhugger]

Is it just me or is suddenly a whole portion of the audio missing from the track here? I have the album with this song and it suddenly sounds a lot different when I play this video in my browser compared to when I play the song off the album on my Winamp or such!

[Yaenipponcover]

@Duckhugger Just for curiousity: What the name of the album? I didn't know the music was released apart from this video,much less in an album O_o I've been wondering that for years.

[fr2gy5krfh0]

Get high!!!!!!

[aznxkigga]

That thing that swallows the girl is actually pedobear in disguise.

[BenHutchinson1]

@aznxkigga

I don't think so, it doesn't look like a repaint of that character. It doesn't even have the same shape. I think it's an original character for whatever this commercial is trying to advertise.

[adamgnome2]

no seroiusly am i high

[shossofe]

@adamgnome2 no, but the girl is.

[darkwartexx]

Is it sad that I realise that the inside of the panda is a pallete swap of the sphere the first digimon movie's first fight is in?

[adamgnome2]

@darkwartexx

It's not sad you probably just are good at spotting out visual patterns.

[craniotagging]

@darkwartexx very sad but kinda funny

[meirus]

@darkwartexx Nope. That's because Mamoru Hosoda loves that digital world. And I think it's awesome, myself.

[EsShinkai02]

@darkwartexx Same Lead Animator

[Shinji91]

@darkwartexx I FUCKING KNEW THIS REMINDED ME OF DIGIMON SOMEHOW!1

[ZeroRaijin]

@darkwartexx no, that's immediately what I thought of.

[ismellflaminrainbows]

@darkwartexx no it's not Takashi Murakami and the guy who made digimon are good friends

[about50crakheds]

Can you say stoned?

[adamgnome2]

People upload multiple of the same video because the video quality of this is absolutely awful.

[ElParcero7]

A-W-E-S-O-M-E-!!!!

[LadyRose2012]

AMAZING...

;D
