The train from Jokoji ... never comes. Seriously, its got to be the most rural station I've ever visited in Japan. No ticket accepting turnstiles. No ticket vendors! (You have to go to the next station and tell 'em where you came from... Leads me to wonder if I went out to a further and more rural station with no accepter that I could really milk this one...)
So! What a perfect time for a movie. A short film, shot to make it looked like it was lost to the ages. Grainy. Dirty colors. And this great song called Insensatez by Antonio Carlos Jobim.
Though, there was a temporary issue on youtube, and here's the the kicker: the video was immediately flagged for using "some or all" of the audio content, held by UMG (Universal Media Group) In other words: youtube pre-scanned the audio portion of my song looking for "borrowed" content before posting the clip. I got an email! And was allowed to use it, so as long as they could place ads on my youtube page for this clip. Don't they do that already?
And now for the video.
UPDATE: while checking for a link to Jokoji, I saw that my youtube clip is already the number 4 link on google. And I only uploaded it late yesterday afternoon!

ok when i first read the name of the song i was like, "wait...i know i own that song" but couldn't remember which it was. two notes in, "oh its on the lost highway soundtrack."
that was the perfect choice for your video although a little different from david lynch's use of it :)
