System 7 - Hinotori
Video | August 19, 2008 | Posted by Basilisk
System 7 made a huge comeback with the release of Phoenix earlier this year. They also came out with a great video made for an edit of Hinotori, the first song on the CD. From their web site:
A lot of time and a lot of love went into this 21st century manga animation, based on Tezuka Osamu’s original image of the mythical bird. Maximum respect to the animation team Mu-°C Magic. Hinotori – literally “Bird of Fire” – is the Japanese title of Tezuka’s groundbreaking series of manga graphic novels about the legend of the Phoenix. When intervening in human events Hinotori speaks with a magical telepathic voice directly into peoples’ minds. It is our wish to celebrate the power, the magical voice and the emotion of the Phoenix in music.
Here is the video (Flash required):
