In what may be one of the most imaginative and ambitious videos of the year, Japanese multi-instrumentalist, Shugo Tokumaru has released this beautiful stop motion video for his new single, Katachi. With every note comes a new paper layer that literally projects the song forward, unveiling a vibrantly charming series of precisely cut images that are staggeringly well executed. Musically, Katachi is a harmonic delight that whose tonal structures and delicate arrangements create a whimsical embrace for anyone to enjoy, whether you are well versed in Japanese or not.
