Lewis Thompson, David Guetta 'Take Me Back' by Taichi Kimura
Promonews - 2nd Aug 2022
Taichi Kimura has teamed up with dance behemoths Lewis Thompson and David Guetta to create a cinematic Tokyo-set comedy - incorporating ingenious dance moves - to accompany their infectious summer anthem Take Me Back.
The delightful concept for the video sees a collective of intoxicated salarymen (and woman), rising from their alcohol-induced stupors - from roadsides, flowerbeds, and wherever else they happened to drop - to move in choreographed formation through the nighttime streets of Tokyo, in the manner of zombie-like sleepwalkers being pulled by an invisible force.
It's a warmhearted, funny, and beautifully-shot vehicle for the team-up of Thompson - one half of successful DJ/production duo Just Kiddin' - and legendary producer Guetta.
“At first, I thought it was going to be a challenge for me to make a visually cinematic music video with a sense of humour," admits Taichi Kimura. "But I believe we were able to pull it off on this one! I am very proud to make a video with such a unique concept in my home country and ever so grateful to make the visuals for these artists.
"Finally, I would also like to thank the Japanese businessmen who have a weak tolerance for alcohol and pass out in the street. This would have never been possible without them.”
