Ken Ishii – Extra MV

A visual feast for fans of Japanese animation. Very quirky (and old) music video for Japanese techno artist Ken Ishii for the whirring, bleepy track “Extra” released in 1995.

Directed by Koji Morimoto (credits include Akira, Macross Plus, Animatrix), the video won the best dance music video at MTV Europe 1995.

Here’s a link to a recent post @ A Visual Gallery of Sorts which reminded me of the MV in the first place. YouTube link included at the above site, of course ;)

For more “Extra” goodness, check out www.kojimorimoto.net for additional concepts and artwork for this particular MV.

Some screen captures from an MPEG2 version of the video I unearthed from my harddisk – no idea where I got it from though. Thankfully, the YouTube version doesn’t have the seizure-inducing flashing of the MPEG2 version :)


No points for guessing for which artist this MV is for


Weird character No. 1


Virtual reality


Product placement for Sony TV?


Blood flows rather freely in this video
