I LLLLLOOOOOOOVVVEEEEEEE Supercar, definitely one of the best bands to come out of Japan. It's so awesome to see them getting recognition on a website of this caliber.

i like the part where the giant ping pong ball turns into a balloon.

The band broke up some time ago. Unfortunately.

More videos from them here: tokyovisualmusic.blogdrive.com

luminal, April 22, 2006 at 10:58:23 AM CEST

D: are you serious?

also, all the video links on that site are broken.

familiar, April 22, 2006 at 8:15:05 PM CEST

The first and third of you YouTube links are broken. The rest work.

YES!

I love these Supercar videos. Keep them coming if you can.

fungible, April 22, 2006 at 10:23:02 PM CEST

I think this is my new favorite band, even if they're broken up and I can't understand a word.

Anyone know where to get .mov's or .mpg's of some of these?

badandy311, April 23, 2006 at 8:24:14 AM CEST

I have a bunch of their vids on my computer, if you know of a way for me to make them available for download, I'd be glad to share...

luminal, April 23, 2006 at 3:24:28 PM CEST

badandy: besides youtube or google video?

progosk, April 23, 2006 at 4:06:30 PM CEST

don't utoob or google: up to 25mb putfile; over (up to 50mb) yousendit.

progosk, April 23, 2006 at 4:16:55 PM CEST

(oh, and: gotta love these videos...)

fine_comb, April 23, 2006 at 5:42:26 PM CEST

this is one of the greats, this and the White Surf Style 5 videos are exceptional for their low-budget/production value, high concept/creativity. Fun and interesting. Great stuff!

luminal, April 23, 2006 at 6:31:31 PM CEST

can anyone translate the lyrics for us? (i hope knowing what's being said won't ruin it)

progosk, April 23, 2006 at 6:47:53 PM CEST

unfortunately centigrade-j doesn't have it...

kevathens, April 23, 2006 at 8:13:27 PM CEST

Wow, I like these piecemeal lessons in hot Japanese videography..

03:00:37? 07:30:07?

This is one of my all time favourites. I saw it at Resfest 2004, and everyone in the crowd absolutely loved it. I think its brilliant, and sadly it's one of the only music videos ever done by Koichi Tsujikawa (he did that "Eyes" clip for Getty Images' 'Big Idea' project). Can ANYONE find a better copy of this video anywhere? I would love them forever. I actually would pay for a copy if I someone could direct me towards a hard copy or a hi-res version or something. Thanks.

badandy311, April 24, 2006 at 6:47:37 AM CEST

I'm uploading the copy I have to megaupload, I will post the link when it's done.

Some other Supercar videos I have:

-Yumegiwa Last Boy (cool CG video)

-White Surf Style 5 (the superhero-sized troubles of a man and a woman)

-Lucky (a "live" performance on some Brit's TV show)

-Strobolights (marionette show with dancing animals and singing flowers)

-Drive (filmed on digital video I believe, with the band running around Sunny California)

-Fairway (a quiet afternoon at the lake, until the creature from the black lagoon interrupts)

-Be (crazy gum-chewing guy shoots people every time soccer player misses a goal)

-Aoharu Youth (boy with big eyes and supernatural powers is investigated by scientists with equally big eyes)

-Desperado (live video with some intermittent black and white animated segments)

-Cream Soda (live video from fairly early in Supercar's career)

-Planet (I think this one's just about the band's bassist traveling cross-country)

-Sunday People (outer space-themed video where UFO comes to Earth and abducts the band)

-My Girl (band's singer stands in a fake rainstorm for entirety of video, frequently readjusts raincoat)

-Last Scene (one of the band's last videos - follows exploits of crazy dancing businessman, includes neat mini fireworks display)

Well, that's pretty much what I have, if anyone is interested I will try to post them on here.

PLEASE upload them all.

badandy311, April 24, 2006 at 11:39:53 PM CEST

kevathens, April 25, 2006 at 1:26:51 AM CEST

badandy311, April 25, 2006 at 1:33:47 AM CEST

Yeah, of course...I think I'll upload three for now, wait a day or two, then up some more. Sound good?
