Domo arigato!
I love this video. Polysics is an exciting Tokyo new wave band inspired by Devo (check out the bot's ziggurat helmet). The original Styx tune and its concept album itself evokes Karel Capek's seminal 1921 play "R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)." But the unique aspect of this video is how it upends Japanese robot-as-hero conventions, with the machine running amuck from the film set and behaving quite naughtily -- even having a smoke after beating up some kids. Rock on, Polysics!
