Many thanks for the comments.
On the white, I really came up with the visual style before choosing the anime and song, so any reasoning about it is purely afterthought. I didn't rationaly choose the combination Akira/white background, but it did seem to work to me. I agree that black better expresses the carnage and schizofrenia of Akira, but I wasn't really looking to make something with all the heaviness that Akira can potentially bring to a video. I suppose the white is intended more as a contrast to the insanity of Akira than a katalyst. The same goes for the song, which (compared to the movie) is relatively happy.
