KOKIRIKO BUSHI

This clip features an electropop remix of the oldest Japanese song in existence. It is entitled 'Kokiriko Bushi', which loosely translates to Song of the Kokiriko - an ancient Japanese string instrument. Omokada (of Far East Recordings), an electro-pop collective, produced the music. The animation was directed by Teppei Maki. Definitely watch this one in HQ. Perhaps the most haunting moment is at :48 when the antiquated vocals loop into the hard electro sounds. It is creepy in the most bright and shimmery sort of way.


It really butters my toast :o)
