It works as an AMV (by my standards) which is above & beyond any basic artistic value: does it make me curious about the series/movie? In this case, definitely. Even if I hadn't already seen the series, I probably would want to, after seeing this.

cosplayeriori for the win! It's Yoshida Brothers' Storm [TM Remix].

Btw, if you're wondering about the series, it's called Mo No No Ke, which is a spin-off of Ayakashi Samurai Horror Tales: a combination of Japanese folklore/myth about demons, ghosts, a dose of mystery and a heaping of horror, put through a blender of neon-colored pop art posters, kabuki, cinematic homages to the Shining and Hill House, crammed into a visual of ukiyo-e meets Peter Max meets the cover of the Sgt Pepper album*... And for all that frenzy, at heart it's incredibly layered, subtle, and at times quite chilling.


*a description cobbled together when CP and I watched the first episode and tried to put our fingers on just what was so bizarre/familiar about the visuals.

I may be incorrect and I will have to check my CD's when I get home. But I think the song might be a remix of the Yoshida Brothers. If you've not heard of them they are young Masters of the Shamisen. THey do covers of rock songs, do rock songs and have collaberated with lots of big name musical figures in the states and in japan (they recently did a cover of one of the songs for the nightmare before x-mas revisited CD..its quite awsome) I'll post another comment with links and confirmation if I can~
P.s. - I really wanna watch this anime and have been meaning to..but I get so side tracked

Ok now listening to the entire video, I am 99% sure that this is indeed the yoshida brothers. I will have to check my CD's sunday night when I get home to give you a song name. But I think its been edited a little bit to add the character voices.

FOUND IT:
Yoshida brothers - Storm

This is a live version from an LA show.

OKAY YOU ARE TOTALLY FOR THE WIN, BABE.

That's it! And I tracked down the remix: it's Storm [TM Remix] off their first album. Then I finally found a site that streams full-length samples and took a listen. These guys are definitely going on my wishlist.

THANK YOU! Wah. Awesome awesome music.

Now that I think about it, isn't this like the third or fourth time I've found something I've liked and you've said, "oh, I think I have that." Just how big is your CD collection, and next time I visit can I have a day to do nothing but burn copies?

Actually its not that big XD I just hear and remember things sometimes. I do have a bit of random stuffs DLed to my computer (a few gigs worth I think, but not as big as some people) But hey your always welcome to check it out if your ever in my neck of the woods.
But yes the yoshida brothers = yay
also check out this song which is a collab between the yoshida brothers and Monkey Majik (a canadian/japanese band)
