AKB48 RIVER USA!!!

My music video has finally aired in Japan on Nemousu TV. ^_^ Working with the AKB48 group was one of the most wonderful experiences in my life. Special thanks to Makoto Murata, the producer, for his support, and Ken Hoinsky for overseeing the production.

Here is the music video. Enjoy!

  3. You lucky man, I would have loved to had the chance to meet AKB48, let alone work with them. I really like your video, it has a lot of vitality to it, just right for the girls.

    I was less impressed by Mike Fox's attempt. It seemed that he didn't do his research beforehand to realize what a pool of talent AKB48 actually is. Instead he made a lazy generic video. A college student or a Youtuber could have done better! I felt that you understood the product and he did not. Well done.

  6. This video's pretty amazing, actually. It feels original. Not just the same old, same old that comes off a conveyor belt of music video mundanity, haha. The craftsmanship is really high and the creativity, too, even though it's so simple, it really sustains itself. Amazing work.

  22. You know it's a good video when I'm still on message boards weeks later arguing with people. Some may not like it, but at least it's causing a stir weeks after it aired. I think this is one of the best videos I've ever seen, forger just idol vids, some disagree. Oh well... art. :)

  23. awesome, awesome video. just watched it again for probably the 20th time. something about it is addictive! somehow, the song seems better when i watch the video, too, cause i tried listening to the song earlier without the video and it was.... eh. but with the visuals it comes alive. you are a good video maker.
