Is what just went through my mind. My girlfriend and I just watched together. Good, good shit.
I've on that street corner before
well i figured at least
one of you guys have been there before- which adds a different dimension to this whole thing that the others who haven't (although NOT having been there makes it pretty cool too- the change to "experience" something live, however degraded and removed, in a place you've never been before- kinda makes me think of what BoC is musically trying to do).

I think everyone who was wondering why they chose Japan for this has been answered with that oriental-sounding riff over the top of the typically-BoC sounding dark synths. This song just has some real urgency to it - I would guess this is Gemini myself because it really sounds like an album intro type vibe.

I've also been there, along with the swag of other Japan local users on here and anyone that has been ot Tokyo probably has as well.

I'm not a die-hard Boards fan but this was a nigh religious experience for me. Strange, strange feeling of euphoria..
