Tiësto and Sneaky Sound System – I Will Be Here
Featuring a brilliant performance by Mori as the hard-working Japanese office worker, an awesome video by the fantastic Muto.
Muto Masashi on making the video for Tiesto and SSS’s I Will Be Here
“It was interesting to see how Tiesto’s music could be incorporated into the essence of Tokyo. One of the main elements of this was the hard-working ethic of the Japanese office worker. He works until the late hours of the night and until the song is over, then he goes to sleep. Every day is the same routine for him, like working the late night, taking the subway and following the same course… in many ways, he’s like a robot.
“And I had a perfect character in mind to be our robot office worker: a guy who lives, eats, sleeps like the Honda Asimo robot. I called him up, and gave him the special mission to spread Tiesto’s sound through the streets of Tokyo – and inject some energy into the city. It was an amazing project.”
Just check this guy out. Amazing stuff.

There’s a similar video to this of japanese civilians (workers, old people sitting on benches etc.) dancing like this guy in various places. i’ve been searching for this video for days. it’s pretty artistic, mostly stationary shots with some japanese person dancing in front. for example, a traffic officer in the middle of a downtown traffic scene at night is pop locking and dancing really really amazingly good and fluid. it almost looks fake its so good and clear. very well produced. its a long video with multiple scenes. it was playing in the background at a techno dance party i was recently at.
please lease help me find this video!
