Boing Boing reader Ayahiko, who is a member of a visual design team in Japan called rakudasan, writes in with word of this cool music video they created for a band called Gaka:
Gaka is a unique 16-piece band working in Japan and growing more and more popular. Now, as you know, we are in a critical situation here in Japan after the earthquake.But we think that one thing we can do now is to get more positive attention for Japan and Japanese creativity. We need positive news to get energetic power, because we are showered with negative news.
This music video is called pantomime music video created with a help of
performer called maimuima. Theme of this song is man powered techno music, so we decided to use pantomime to make fun of man-powered expression.
We shot with a fixed camera and angle. Performer themselves' movement change angles, speed and distance. Without using wire and CG, we succeeded shooting action scenes.
Rakudasan does VJ in an unique style called Surrealistic Synchronization. It is the style that we select unrelated movie with music, but this makes unique and unusual togetherness and atmosphere in clubs. Gaka's jam music and pantomime are not related, but we combined them to create this music video. This is our style.

Editor's note: As an aside, note that the video was created and published on March 3. The theme of running/escape evidenced in the first portion of the video was not a reaction to the March 11 disaster, though it does sort of strike a resonant chord now, in hindsight.
