This song and video I like to call Morning Musume's "lost" single.
This video was part of the Japanese Playstation 2 game "Space Venus" (2001) and you were able to pan the camera in any direction, 360 degrees, using the Playstation's analog joystick. This was done by filming with an 8-camera and mirror rig that the group would sing and dance around. Definitely a fun and cool concept.
The quality isn't great, but this video is made from the highest resolution of the video in the wild, ripped straight from the file in the game. The raw video file appears as two strips of video, one on top of the other in the same frame, which left and right edges could be reassembled into a 360 degree panorama by the game software. If you do a search on Youtube for "Dance Suru no Da" you will see what I mean.
I've sequenced this video into my own rendition in 16:9 widescreen format which is also unique since the game video display was 4:3. I've upscaled the video and added English subtitles.
I hope you enjoy this new version of an old "lost" Morning Musume music video as much as I enjoyed making it. Comments greatly appreciated.
Do you have in this quality without subs?

I need to get a copy of this game, seriously. But then again, I'd probably just pan the cam to follow Marippe around the entire time anyways...
