[almohadillaseisefes]

I think this video was made specificly for the track. Look at 0:32...

[thewfranklimcwb]

LOOKING FOR A VIDEO THIS YEAR. FROM 99 AMP IN BRAZIL MTV. A WORK OF ART WITHOUT DOUBT.

[hueysweeney]

I've been listening to Techno for over 20 years now and I've built up quite a collection of records. I honestly can say that this record and the excellent accompanying manga video is a definitive piece of Techno history. I actually still get goose pimples when I listen to this. One of the finest examples of Techno on the planet.

Respect to Ken and his amazing work.

Excellent video!

[Alixir]

Totally in love with this tune!

[QuirinusLaurelin]

Erinnere mich noch, wo das Video auf VIVA lief... irgendwann Anfang der 90er. Und ich habs damals nicht so recht kappiert ;)

[Shelldamage]

Brilliant !

[Raphael9978]

genial was der man macht! besser kann ich mir die musik eigentlich gar nicht vorstellen!

[Gataxs]

Eins der schönsten videos die ich jemals geshen hab. Und geiler Track.

[klangmotorik]

schönstes Video? :) Wo Leute Aabgsschlachtet werden?

[Gataxs]

@klangmotorik

Du hast schon gemerkt das es nur gemalt ist?! ^^

[ChiefJordan1337]

whoa shit this video is trippy as hell xD great job

[Titouchose]

Damn, this video has been prodced by Koji Morimoto, from Studio 4C°.

This is typicaly his work. (See beyond in the animatrix...)

Everything going out from studio 4C° is powerfull and amazing. (tekkon kinkreet, mind game...)

[IclownI]

Simply 5* + fav.

Too bad full leght video hard to find. =\

[thephaseshifter]

The music of "Jelly Tones" shows more recognisable rhythms, the sound is much more clear but the content is poorer. The change hasn't only affected the music but the whole display of his music: the best example is the video that goes along with the single "Extra", by the same director of "Akira", Katsuhiro Otomo, and has gained a lot of popularity. The problem is that the images overlap the music, being the former more appealing than the latter

[standardbearer]

So we can agree, that the video is superior than the music itself in this case. However, I think it was smart from the video producer, to use this opportunity to make a top quality short anime. Clearly, everone remembers this video. Moreso, because, most japanese PV-s (especially the live action ones) are really lame.

[verapamil07]

@standardbearer I am sorry but I can't agree :) For me the music is equally good.

[thephaseshifter]

Something similar happens in his life performances, like the last one at Sónar, where it could be seen the special emphasis on danceable themes (with Giorgio Moroder like sequences not present in his disc) and the unstoppable projection of looping images extracted from the video "Extra". On the stage Ishii stands out for his exotic and androgene look.

[nickjais]

the spent a huge amount to get that video done. still a mega hit. I think it was a huge success for r&s.. :)

[ZeroBacK00]

ahh ..die Erinnerungen :-) Fand ich schon immer einen seiner genialsten Songs..und das bleibt er auch immer

[cob1965]

have you heard the wagon christ remix of this it's genius,the animation is ace.

[devilboys1]

Very Nice! =)

[julialynn5]

[PandorasKiste]

Ken Ishi is so cool

[exactspace]

holy shit! thanks for posting this. its literally been like 10 years since i last saw this on amp and i had no idea where it came from. i can't thank you enough.

[4An0n]

I wish there would be an anime like that..

[BVB4EVEREVEREVER]

Geil!!!!

Ich liebe diese Lied!!!!!!!

[phyton7]

ken ishi rulezzzzz

[rearly62]

the video linked in with the album art, posters and postcards for the launch of Jelly Tones by Ken Ichii on R&S Records in 1995. IIRC the vid won the MTV awards for best vid that year.

[tollpatsch1986]

its a music video only.

one thing to notice is the horse appearing in background when the one character is riding his "bike".

its the logo of the music label ken ishi was under, at the time he created this song.

[electricladynoise]

crazy and freaky since years. Great Techno! I love it!

[AnjiliK]

Im confused, but its awesome. But im still confused beyond confusion. Its like this stuff is out of a dream, a REALLY crazy dream.

BUT ITS STILL FREAKING COOL!...But Im still confused......I think I had a seizure from all the colors....XD! MAKE MORE! ^_^

[csekovics]

TECHNO

[Surronded]

The final sequence is like Ghost in the Shell... and the whole atmosphere ^_^

[Fusurugi]

It's Extra, legendary Song from Ken Ishi.

Video was made for Song like 5555 was made for Daft Punk.

[Lyricoholic]

can anyone tell how this manga/anime named is?

[MichaelRoss89]

i think that is a videoclip, no a amv. the cartoon would be do for the videoclip. the video it´snt of a anime serie.

Sorry im spanish and my english is to bad...

[slowmovement]

Didn't make it Ken Ishii by himself ...??

[woodyv00]

Katsuhiro Ōtomo did that... director of akira

[slowmovement]

i see. thank you!

[Zerberus911]

Und................TANZEN!!!!!­!

[Lyricoholic]

ja, das kann man dazu

der beat lädt schon förmlich dazu ein

but the vid is still sick :-D

[huls]

thanks. i've been searching this for years and finally here it is. again

[BadSensei]

This video was directed by Koji Morimoto, who was assistant animation director on Akira.

[zkc8]

very cool i was hoping to see this here someday, thank you.

[oni974]

Thx 4 zat I like it U Know :D U enojoy My Life :x.

Merci pour cet AMV c'est trop frais :D en plus j'adore le son xD bref merci encore :o).

[Sudders89]

Ken Ishi is fucking music on acid

[afusake]

this is sick, i remember it from my teenage as fuckin killer. i still got this vid and watch sometimes. onelove

[uuuppp]

Yes, It is propabbly video done only for ken ishii, because as you see on the end of video,a men who jump from the elevation (last 10 seconds) had a R&S records logo on t-shirt (black horse & triangle). And ken ishi done this EP on R&S records (label from belgium) and the logo of this label is the same as on his t-shirt. By the way. GREAt CLIP :-) Greetingz.

[artrimb]

brings back memories on acid...

[lil2312]

the guy who made the clip is the same of akira....

[DDDELAVEGA]

Gee thanks, that sure is one of my favorites!

Directed by Katsuhiro Otomo, as far as I know.

... Rings any bell?

Yes!.. the one and only Katsuhiro that provided the world with AKIRA, METROPOLIS and so many other breathtaking Manga and anime.

[ksiaze]

This is oryginal Ken Ishi video clip

[Lepisosteus]

I think that the anime is an original creation for the video clip ('xcuse me for bad english).

[eilertman]

Thanks for uploading this one, is one of my favorites!Classic!Dont know the anime though...The EP that I have has this anime on the cover but there isnt any other information about it,there is only this:'At 00:01 AM precisely on November 1st 1995 a new type of electronic bomb exploded over the metropolitan area of Tokyo, spreading its shockwave over the rest of the world in circles'.
