Nagi Noda is a Japanese pop artist and director who has been called “one of the most influential woman in Japan.” Nagi died on September 7, 2008, at age 35, after surgical complications from injuries sustained in a traffic accident the previous year. The last thing she worked on was this music video and album art for Japanese singer MEG.
In this video, Nagi uses kuroko, a traditional Japanese theater technique involving several stagehands dressed completely in black, to make things appear to be moving on their own.
Four hours of baby play that has been packed into a two minute long timelapse video. The song is “Ensemble” by the Canadian artist Coeur de Pirate. [via]
I love this funky remix of Le Lundi Au Soleil by quirky Japanese musician Kenzo Saeki. This song is part of a tribute album to the sixties pop star Claude François called Cloclo Made In Japan.
