    A unique video clip that I did not expect

    The story, which presents clear influences from Taxi Driver and presents an unknown facet due to many of the consequences of World War II, that of the Japanese holdouts, with Sakamoto doing a very cute portrayal of a veteran with PSTD, has beautiful scenes and presents a good narrative and images (sad that we do not have an HD version or at least 480p of the video clip), something that is not usually seen much in video clips of the time and that shows Dolby as a good director beyond a musician.

      News Reporter: Today in New York City. One of the bizarre stories of the year without a doubt. Tenshi Tanaka, a sergeant from the Japanese Pacific forces from World War 2 was discovered by US Marines in the remote island of Iwo Jima. Apparently, he didn't know the war is over. After a leaking CIA investigation in the emerges he unaware of the two atomic bombs that brought back the surrender of the Japanese Empire. Tanaka slept specting anytime to fight the enemy forces.
