A unique video clip that I did not expect

The story, which presents clear influences from Taxi Driver and presents an unknown facet due to many of the consequences of World War II, that of the Japanese holdouts, with Sakamoto doing a very cute portrayal of a veteran with PSTD, has beautiful scenes and presents a good narrative and images (sad that we do not have an HD version or at least 480p of the video clip), something that is not usually seen much in video clips of the time and that shows Dolby as a good director beyond a musician.
