The French band
Daft Punk collaborated with Japanese anime legend
Leiji Matsumoto to make their musical film
Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem. Here are the videos in order (I really recommend watching them in this order, otherwise the story doesn't make much sense):
- One More Time
- Aerodynamic
- Digital Love
- Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
- Crescendolls
- Nightvision
- Superheroes
- High Life
- Something About Us
- Voyager
- Veridis Quo
- Short Circuit
- Face to Face
- Too Long
Enjoy!
