Japanese Music Videos

So last week I got the chance to view quite a few different music videos produced in Japan by Japanese musicians. I suppose I have just a few words to say here. Japan is a very cultural society. They bleed culture. They must have one of the more significant cultures in the world. They must also be one of the most misunderstood and comprehensive cultures out their. You can see this through their music videos. Quite a few of the music videos had a very serious tone lying underneath the surface of the song. Very well made, well put together pieces of film. On the other hand you have a group of videos that came across very strange, different, and even quite raunchy at times. Here you see a representation of a very serious and not-so-serious side of the cultural spectrum. Japan has a fun culture that wants to be taken seriously at times. They are a very rich nation with a lot of history. They are also a nation that holds close to them many myths and legends of mythical creatures and spirits. Japan is definitely a fun culture to jump into. Some of the very prominent videos that I think stood out were the videos by the young girl who sang the goofy songs within a very goofy random world. The video with the almost naked men was also very interesting...
