On The Cusp, Longlist - Music Video

Lewis Thompson x David Guetta "Take Me Back"

The genius concept for the video sees a collective of intoxicated businessmen solemnly dance through the Tokyo streets at night in a choreographed stumble. Taichi says: “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... 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"
