Kome Kome Club's Fantastic Voyage (Music Video)

I just found this crazy little music video for a popular 90s song by a band called Kome Kome Club (Rice Rice Club). It's called Roman Hikou (romantic journey in the sky) and it looks like this video may have been used as a Japan airlines promo for trips to Okinawa. Their other hit single, Kimi ga iru dake de, was the most popular song of the 90s. The band broke up in 1997, but this song is immortality awesome. And this video, well, it kinda takes it to a whole other level.

What about Kome Kome War? That was my favorite one!

the video is an encoded message to tell us that the alu foil doesn't work anymore: try to connect a love song, pseudo-egiptian stylisation and okinawa - THERE MUST BE SOMETHING IN IT!!!!!!!

and i saw an elephant on tv dancing to this music !!!
