There have been some fantastic music video releases this past month but it is this, “Mer du Japon,” by Air and Fujiya & Miyagi’s “Ankle Injuries” that I think explain why modern television has got nothing on the internet. Are these things even still played on TV anywhere? I don’t know…but what I do know is that this video is essentially a collective of my three favorite things in life. 1 - Interpretive Dance: which I literally cannot live without. 2 - 3-D Japanese Dragons: an honest to god necessity for any video after 1988. 3 - French: In general it’s a lovely language, I’m honestly not being sarcastic with that last statement - sorry if you take it that way. For serious though, this video is fascinating.

Have I been poked fun at? Interpretive dance, Japan, and French ARE things I couldn’t live without.
Thanks for posting this video!

No…I was only being sarcastic about Dance and Dragons…I have an honest affinity for the French and I feel hurt that you would suggest otherwise. C’mon!
