Is what just went through my mind. My girlfriend and I just watched together. Good, good shit.

I've on that street corner before :wink:



well i figured at least one of you guys have been there before- which adds a different dimension to this whole thing that the others who haven't (although NOT having been there makes it pretty cool too- the change to "experience" something live, however degraded and removed, in a place you've never been before- kinda makes me think of what BoC is musically trying to do).

I think everyone who was wondering why they chose Japan for this has been answered with that oriental-sounding riff over the top of the typically-BoC sounding dark synths. This song just has some real urgency to it - I would guess this is Gemini myself because it really sounds like an album intro type vibe.

I'm not a die-hard Boards fan but this was a nigh religious experience for me. Strange, strange feeling of euphoria..
