On Your Mark
It was a merely coincidence. As you probably now, I watched “Whisper of the Heart” yesterday and “On Your Mark” actually came out at the same time. But I actually didn’t know that I had it at all! I just saw it by chance on my DVD of Ocean Waves *lucky!*
Daft Punk and Leiji Matsumoto ahoi? Hrrr… Like the title suggests, this music video is extremely beautiful and it reminds me a lot of it. Not only a slightly science-fiction-looking world (with especially designed airplanes and stuff), but it’s also a story about rescueing a girl. (Well, okay, in the other case, it’s rescueing the whole band.) The atmosphere is totally different and more down-to-earth, of course, but not less impressive. I’m so glad to have been able to watch it! *_*
The song itself is the most awful one I have ever heard… it also destroys the whole atmosphere of the video *snifsnif*
By the way, there was also a little animation at the end… It looked like a children’s picture and is about a house that starts extremely small but then grows bigger and bigger… pretty cute O.o Ah, I found it. It was this and this.
Now that I have watched so much Ghibli stuff, I wonder if I should try to be a completist and also watch “The Ghiblies” and the like… basically the few things I don’t have yet *hrr*
