Now here's a thing to brighten up your day: Rakudasan's new video for 16-piece instrumental band, Gaka...

It features an array of silver leggings and real-time slow motion – not to mention a host of live action pantomime tricks – which go some way to explain what Rakudasan's self-styled "Surrealistic Synchronization" method is all about.

For the Gaka track, Tsuchinoko, the directing team enlisted the performing talents of the Maimuima troupe, who run, jump, twist and gurn their way through this immensely charming video, all shot in-camera.

"Gaka's jam music and pantomime are not related," say Rakudasan, "but we combined them to create this music video. This is our style."

We like that style very much, Rakudasan.

Technology transports us into computer generated worlds further than we would ever have thought possible, yet this simple pantomime theatre group has captured slow motion, action style of 'The Matrix' beautifully... brilliant stuff.

Boring. Done before. The token girl amongst all of the silver legging wearing boys was the best bit.

Um, not boring, really fun and funny, I love seeing this kind of stuff, it hasn't been widely done. I liked OK GO and others, but this is free form 360 deg. And the music is awesome. Thanks for sharing!
