PV review: gilgamesh | owari to mirai (2006)

Look at the umlaut over the "a"! Is that new?! Maybe we can look forward to Giru Beer someday. ;)


We have feet and we know how to use them, stand back!


Run, Forrest!


There are TONS of fast cuts; no shot lasts more than 1/4 of a second.


Ryo (d) is in a lot of shots, too. And lit well! (I guess because he can't move out of the lights like the other guys can...)


Nii (g) and Shuu (b) are nearly invisible in their shots.


See? They need some glow-in-the-dark eyeliner.


Whoa! New setting! We must be in the chorus already.


Nii (left) has cool poses for someone in very real danger of wearing his guitar too high.


Ryo again! [~ding!~]


Ahh someone get me out of this visual kei cliche!


Hmm, actually, I like the light on the fretboard instead of the face; makes you wonder if a former guitarist directed the vid.


It's a very active video too, the Gilgies can certainly tootle with vigor.


But then, before you know it...


...it's owari.

Awesome vid. Four minutes long. No story, no blonde girls walking around in a daze, just balls-out rawkin'. The lighting is constantly exploding, the cameras are never still, the band goes bonkers, and the editing races along a ninja chef dicing carrots. Catch it if you can!
