Tokumaru Shugo is known for doing all aspects of his music himself and for incorporating over 100 instruments into that process, but his music video for “Katachi” is amazing, if not for the visuals than just simply for the sheer effort required to make it.
Brain asplode.
Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
I really wanted them to have a shot of the whole thing from the side….but otherwise awesome.
A charming tune, and music video. I wouldn’t mind if it was a bit longer. I’ve never heard of Tokumaru Shugo, but now I think I’ll check out more tracks. Quite uplifting and energizing.
Very interesting,and very creative.
I can’t even begin to fathom how many hours went into this.
the level of awesome in that! I keep watching it and seeing something different every time, amazing. Love the song too, now I need to find more his stuff.
on a side note, I hate pitchfork.
Hipster fucks.
I absolutely loved every second of it.
This was so beautiful that one can’t even leave a dirty comment.
Would this freak you out if you were on some LSD though?
Seriously. This is the most respectful comment thread I’ve ever seen on Asian Junkie. *gasp!
lol, I noticed that too. I guess we all recognize brilliance when we see it.
We’re not complete cretins. But who would have guessed?
You’re having a lot of aneurysms lately, dude, maybe you should get that checked out?
No sexy dancing? Pass.
JK, that was completely hypnotizing.
Holy salami on a cracker, that was amazing!
Shugo Tokumaru is a true artist.
Great MV. Though, after I looked around for how this was made, I don’t think Tokumaru made this himself. Still a very enjoyable MV.
Well, he’s already way musically talented, if he was a stop-motion expert too my brain would really asplode. The people who did the animation are Polish, I think: http://kijekadamski.blogspot.com/
“made with approx. 2000 silhouettes extracted from PVC plates using computer-controlled cutter.” damn son.
Polish people? No wonder I liked it so much!
