Fairly new to the site, but this is the video that drew me in:
Initially, I thought it was a horrible idea to use a Travis song for a montage of various Oshii films. Actually watching it won me over; everything about it is somehow perfect, much more so than any other Avatar music video I'd seen previously. Each lyric matches the imagery to a T. And the shots from Angel's Egg still make me smile, even knowing the ending. There is just something about that film I find inherently sweet and melancholy. A strange combination, but watching it always makes me feel warm, though the ending brings on coldness.
The music, lyrics, and imagery for the video all combine to make something completely beautiful and moving. It's not really often I can say that about an Avatar music video. A reminder that this can be an artform and not always just a hobby.
