TOY Story: behind the scene of MV for momokomotion's song "TOY" 2008 Jan
(the video is out on Feb to the world)
The hottest VJ in BKK Jim brewer and his team " Human eye corpolation" is making MV for Momokomotion's song "TOY".
This crazy video's location is in the house of....TOYs!
Momoko is very happy about this video.
because she doesn't have to do the stupid lip singing for MV shoot. All the dools are dancing and acting, taking off clothes in the video instead of her.
Here is the pics behind scene of the Toy house.
Over head night club is the first experience in the live music history...
You put your head into the floor to listen and watch the band.
It was so sureal to watch... the audience!
I could only see their heads nodding, I can't even see when they are clapping hands, because their body is in outside of the box.
This crazy piece of art made by a Japanese artist Jiro Endo and Thai artist Wit/Duckunit.
and me, momokomotion played first time in this strange club in tokyo!
