So there is this “literal” version of A-ha’s “Take on me” that’s been making it’s rounds. (Watch it here, if you haven’t yet)
It inspired me to take a version from the Japanese Rhythm Music Game “Beatmania IIDX 3rd Style” and sync it up with the iconic 80’s video.
Turned out nicely me thinks.

I’m not much of an AMV guy - but I was cleaning off the hard-drive and figured I’d share an AMV I cut in 2006. It’s not refined, polished or anything, just something I never really did much with.
Music: RJD2 “Smoke and Mirrors”
Video: Boogiepop Phantom, Perfect Blue, Otomo Katsuhiro’s Memories
p.s. still having problems with pod-press so no iPod version just yet.

First a house keeping item. The podcast name has changed. It is now just “Anime With Ataru.” See, since 2006 the scope of this podcast has widened greatly, and as such it really isn’t just a local podcast anymore. Compounded by the fact, I will be traveling and moving fairly soon it’s time to officially go national baby!
This video was posted over at the official Nine Inch Nails youtube channel. If you’ve watched enough Japanese television it doesn’t really phase you, but it is interesting to see Japanese women break it down to choreographed Nine Inch Nails song.
It did however, remind me that I did a goofy little J-Pop remix of a Nine Inch Nails song (Me, I’m Not) so I cut some “typically wacky” Japanese video to make my own response to the above posted.

Amy Rose stopped by this week. I hadn’t seen her since Anime USA last year. After talking for a little bit she decided she really wanted to dance, so I let the camera roll while she did her stuff. Look at her go! Youtube Link

Last week I pointed out the Loop “Asian Gamelan 1″ in a J-Pop song. This week I found the exact same loop somewhere I would have never expected it - ON DOCTOR WHO! Youtube Link.
