For those that haven't seen it, the awesome Yuki Sentimental Journey video by Nagi Noda - Japan's answer to Michel Gondry.
Artists Statement; "When Yuki was singing, all of her feelings and prayers started to come out. When she sang some more, a little bit of spit started to come out. As she sang even more, more spit started to come out and when her spit hit withered flowers, the flowers started to move. When it fell onto a plate of dried pasta, it turned it into good tasting pasta. I left some dishes unwashed, but the spit cleaned them up for me. When a bear tried to drink water from a vessel, his mouth couldn't reach the water. The bear stood there helplessly, but Yuki's spit increased the volume of water and he was saved. Using life-form letters, I expressed how all kinds of creatures have quickened and started to move. The shrimp, the caterpillar, the squid, the grasshopper, the alligator, the monkey, Tama-chan, the seal and the lobster have all begun to stir."
Makes sense to me.
Sentimental Journey on You Tube
UPDATE: Here are some downloadable quicktimes from the Partizan website:
*Please note that the YouTube version of Sentimental Journey is the full length 5m40s version with reprise, whereas the Partizan website contains only clips.
These videos are fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
