My favourite song by my favourite band - I've been meaning to do a cover of this for years! It's a little bit more gritty and industrial than YMO's version.
Super mega awesome thanks to Helen for translating the lyrics - the original song is in Japanese (with a little bit of English), so I figured it might be fun to try it in English (with a little bit of Japanese). Sorry if my pronunciation's terrible, I don't speak any Japanese :P
Also, this is my first video with my fancy-pants new DSLR. Totally abusing shallow depth of field here - give me a break, the song is called "Focus" after all! Completely destroyed my computer though - a 4 minute video took up nearly 500GB of disk space, made my video editing software crash at least 20 times, and caused my computer to overheat and reboot twice.
Oh, and finally - happy belated birthday to Haruomi Hosono!
