Second in a series of entries dedicated to Japanese superstar Tomoyasu Hotei's numerous youtube video clips. Part commentary, part critique, part fan rambling, part love letter.

C'mon, bunnies are adorable :D
Gah, but that's true. His PV's are generally terrible. New ones, old ones, they're too bizzare. I can only name several PVs (PV = Promotional Video) that are more or less good. Let's see... Bambina (too funny ^^), Destiny Rose (cheesy, but nice), Howling, Desperado, Born to be Wild (recorded live). However, every PV where he's not alone is surprisingly good! Back Streets of Tokyo (with Brian Setzer), Stereocaster (with Char), Kanousei Girl (with Chiaki Kuriyama), Grace (with Apocalyptica, video made with plasticine by some crazy Russian guy, features green-haired Hotei). Uragiri Gomen (The THREE - with Seiji Kameda and Kreva) and Battle Funkastic (with Rip Slyme) are also not that bad.
Phew.

I'm not sure if you can find all of them on YouTube, Japan has strict copyright laws. If something is not there, maybe I'll be able to provide a different link, but I'm not sure whether it works for your country. >_

Hey thanks thanks for checking out these silly little entries :D

I am still contemplating whether I should make the Bambina entry public as it needs some tweaking :) That video requires some critical discourse imho.

So far, I am loving all the clips you have posted. I will make sure to give you a shoutout on my next posts. I don't think I could have slipped this far into this rabbit hole without your uploaded clips.

My clip of the day is "Stereocaster". I can't stop looking at it.

Oh, don't mention it. English-speaking Hotei-fans are hard to find. And it's so sad to be a lonely fan! ;)
Speaking about the uploaded clips, I'm actually a rather humble contributor. Kojikojiking and Instantlove1988 are the real monsters) I'm just trying to fill in the gaps left by them)

"Stereocaster" is a very nice video. There's a TV version somewhere too, with Hotei and Char playing in some studio with an interview afterwards.

I know :) It's nice to have someone else to fangirl with!

I like instantlove1988's videos as well :D I haven't seen the handle on LJ though!

I'll be uploading my video clip entry on "Stereocaster" soon.
