Watch: Shintaro Sakamoto - "You Can Be A Robot, Too (feat. Kamome Children's Choir)"
Japanese '70s-enamoured noisenik Shintaro Sakamoto - channelling the pure funkiosity and jazzitude of yesteryear in a distinctly bizarre package - has just unveiled what is likely the strangest music video you'll see all day.
Sakamoto directed and animated the clip, and said of it:
“Since my original concept for "You Can Be A Robot, Too" was something like a song from a children's TV show, I had a children's choral group sing over the same backing track as the version that appeared on the album. For the music video, I got the idea to make an animation that had that same sort of vibe to it. I thought it would be great if an actual children’s show broadcast my video, but since that would never actually happen, I decided to put together my own sort of children's show within the video. Cute singing voices further highlight the frightening worldview the original song has.”
