When I started tracking the career of McG starting from the late ’90s to present-day, I stumbled upon this awesome music video, “Akibahara Majokko Princess”, starring the amazing K. Dunst as a stereotypical animé-chan.  The opening scene at the Akihabara train station sets the tone for the clip, and by the chorus (I’m going Japanese/I think I’m going Japanese/I really think so), I was hooked.


Produced by Takashi Murakami, using The Vapors’s ’80s single “Turning Japanese”, and débuted at the Tate Modern in 2009.

Let’s all give praise to the post-grunge era in music.  

Most of these directors have become better with age, barring Matthew Rolston.  His more recent endeavors have proven that he wishes to stay current with the Top 40 music moguls.  Has old age come knocking on his door?  On the flip side, McG has progressed into an interesting visual creator, and I will comment more on that in an upcoming post.
