C Sharp – Rendezvous

Dubstep Dispute – Jason Giles

The TV Show – Sugimoto Kousuke

The more I watch this video, the more I see, and the more I like it. Most striking is the use of color as a defining aspect of the story. Frenetic in pace, the backgrounds are complex and impossible to take in on one viewing. A fun and colorful romp and worth watching a few times.

Music by Manabe Takayuki

Much Better Now – Salon Alpin

Confirmation – Charlie Parker

Phantasma – Alessandro Correa
