  • I'm sorry your trip to Japan was foreboding and dark enough to be represented by this song. Also, I really like the footage of the dancing Japanese girls. Really puts a Huxley spin on the distopian song.

  • @orbushcutter Thank you for the comment. I had a wonderful time in Japan and I chose this music because I find it has a melancholic beauty to it that is reflected in parts of Japanese art and culture.

    It's weird that you mention Huxley because I just finished reading 'Brave New World' last week and to be liked to him is a great honor.

    Thank You

  • I really like the video and the beginning but you look really creepy just standing in the reeds/bushes (whatever).

    I mean you look VERY creepy. Hope you enjoyed your trip, weeaboo.

  • thank you for the comment and the shot of me in the grass is meant to be a homage to the film All about Lilly chou chou

    "Did You just say Weeaboo? Because i think i just heard someone say weeaboo"

  • This video seems more relevant now considering recent events in Japan

  • i remember the first time i discovered slow motion

  • You people talk about Japan like it is more important than Godspeed You! Black Emperor. No country is more important than Godspeed You! black Emperor.

  • Some of this fits really well but a lot of it simply does not.

    Did you get to see the buildings of Tokyo rise up out of the ground in the morning?

  • Sounds like Guy Debord, society of the spectacle

  • This is hilarious

  • my favourite band, and i NEED to visit japan.. great video ladeen

  • ...interesting video...I can't say "AWESOME!" or anything...it's just a great portrayal of Japanese life, lots of rich cultural references some of which I have no clue to their meaning...and a girl in cat ears...thanks for sharing and you're right, the music and viideo go well together
