Igai shikai hiroi
Katai kotai hiroi

Gokai gurai furai

Yurui kaze wo hoho wo

Naderu nageru
Haneru nageru

This is beautiful! The song is a great choice -- I can't understand the lyrics but the use of water-sounds as percussion / instrument was perfect, and the vocals had a kind of watercolor / tone-poem feeling to them, which feels very appropriate for this movie. This vid captures the visual beauty and whimsy of the film. I love the fast clips of the very beginning, and the way the cuts slow down, pulling me deeper into the vid, deeper into the water.

Lovely! This vid made me fall in love with this film all over again!

[cupidsbow]

Awesome - so quirky and surreal, but gorgeous.

[sasha_feather]

Very pretty! Love it.

[monkey_pie]

That vid was just as fun and quirky as the movie, great song pairing. Will definitely be watching this again!

[verity]

Wow, I adore this! Really captures the feeling of the film.

[violace]

I'm kind of in awe of how well the imagery and music go together. Awesome.

The way you paired the music with the clips and the timing & motion in them was phenomenal. Like the dolphin in the porthole window, and the lizard head waving around 1:15 then it getting flicked away. Absolutely amazing.

I love the way this vid brings all the beauty and surrealism of the movie to life without trying to impose a narrative. It just flows, like water, and I get swept away. Great song choice, too.

[franzeska]

This matches the tone of the movie so well. What a great choice of sort of meaningful, sort of nonsensical song too.

I have not seen this movie, but I got sucked into this vid by the music choice and the surprising visuals, and I like how weird and peculiar it is. With the music and the many through-the-window shots you included, it felt like I was under water myself, very cool, and the editing is just really great throughout the whole thing.
