Akihabara Majokko Princess


update: looks like the suits have gone ahead and removed this video from the internet :( I'm sure if you search hard enough it will pop up somewhere.


Part of the Tate Modern Museum's Pop-Life exhibition and produced by renowned Japanese Pop-Artist Takashi Murakami, “Akihabara Majokko Princess” is a short film/music video directed by the often panned McG starring Kirsten Dunst dancing through the streets of Akihabara, running amok singing a cover of The Vapors - Turning Japanese.

Given Murukami's previous endeavors in film and the parties involved this collaboration is pretty head-scratching and poses the question whether this is high-art or high-camp. But isn't the purpose of art to force us to question ourselves anyways? Watch the video and judge for yourself.
