Tatsuro Yamashita's "CIRCUS TOWN" music video released, recreating the streets of New York with toys
As part of Tatsuro Yamashita's 50th solo debut anniversary project, a remastered version of his first solo album, "CIRCUS TOWN (50th Anniversary Edition)," was released today, April 8. In conjunction with the release, the music video for the title track "CIRCUS TOWN" has been published on YouTube.
The MV recreates the cityscape of New York City in 1976, the year the original album was released, within a world of toys. The result is a sophisticated, urban video that befits the album, which was recorded in New York and Los Angeles. The video was produced by video director YOSHIROTTEN, who also directed the music videos for "SPARKLE" and "Atom no Ko."
Additionally, a DJ event has been announced to commemorate the release of the remastered "CIRCUS TOWN" album. The event will feature DJ sets of songs from Yamashita's RCA/AIR YEARS era, with a focus on tracks from "CIRCUS TOWN."
