I'm a fan of Murakami & Kaikai Kiki as well, but has no one thought to mention Mamoru HOSODA, the director of this? He's also director of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, the 6th One Piece movie and 1st 2 Digimon movies (the 2nd of which this strongly resembles) and was to direct Howl's Moving Castle, but dropped out and was replaced by Miyazaki. I liked the Digimon movies, but really only the 3rd one -- I like this short more than anything else which I've seen from him.
@@birdsniffingthefloor Shibuya kei is the genre of you want to look for more! Cornelius, Fantastic Plastic Machine and Pizzicato 5 are some of the forerunners of it.
@@tunglamduong3000 I actually found all that out right after I made that comment those few years ago! I still listen to FPM and some Cornelius to this day.
This commercial provides a chance for little girls to dream about LV, which is not for average little girls. I'm not sure what they are selling though, the art, the brand, or just little girls great dream - growing up and buy LV.
This is awesome! It reminds me of the time when I stumbled in Grand Central Station and found a giant Murakami eye staring down at me as it floated over my head and contemplating sitting on a giant pink mushroom. For all those who like the music on this video, I can't call it for certain but I think it's the distinct house sound of Akufen.
@MXRKO fantastic plastic machine - different colours, it was written specifically for this video and isn't available on any albums, but it uses a lot of samples and the same progression of a lot of his songs from the album "too"
The advertisement was released first, which I find rather surprising, as he had yet to release his first film outside of the Digimon franchise at this time. Perhaps this ad lent some credence to his talent?
I went to an art museum where a big statue was there, with this video playing next to it. It was so unique from everything else there that I just stood there and looked at it for a while…
@tamales458 Or, more appropriately, Summer Wars looks like this. Hosoda worked on both; Monogram came first. Cool how one can tell a man's work through the different pieces. ^-^
we're learning about him in fashion design class! awesome work! keep up takashi murakami. ps, im so glad i live in brooklyn i will definately be going to see his exhibit in the bk museum
why was she soo worried about getting her phone instead of being sucked into a giant panda??? well then again that always happens in japan also how did the panda get in there did he eat himself?? lol i love takashi!!
@VvSpartanSoccer now that you mention it i do. this song was written by fantastic plastic machine but i wonder if they used FPM's song for the Wii also? i believe this commercial came out first
Yes of course. It was kind of gently sarcasm. I just made fun of it cause they're not lot of changes. But I don't know which one came first the advertisement or the movie ?
Yep! One said, "I'm on the street of our meeting place but I can't see you. Where are you?" The others are asking where she went or that they got lost and wonder if she's lost too.
