New Teen Runnings’ Video: “Make It Better”
東京のTeen Runningsが去年発表されたLet’s Get Together Again.を発売します。 去年彼らがLPを発表した時は彼らはFriendsと名乗っておりTeen Runningsと改名してからの新たな発売となります。彼らの昨今の海外ブログでの人気を受けブルックリンのFriendsとの混同を避ける為の変名に至ったという経緯もある様です。新作には新曲もいくつか収録される様です。 そのリリースにあたりTeen Runningsは8月8日にMake It Better．のビデオをリリースしました。このビデオはVideoTapeMusicによって制作されており80年代の映像のマッシュアップのミュージックビデオになっています。 80年代の映像を再構築してのミュージックビデオは決して見新しい物ではありませんが、VideoTapeMusicはこの古い手法で作られたビデオを新鮮に見せる事に成功しています。このビデオのリンクは以下から。
