The video for Stones Taro was my first solo effort at constructing an entire music video, and the circumstances couldn’t have been better. As a huge fan of techno and club music plus a classic car enthusiast, I finally had the opportunity to throw these things together in the music video I always wanted to make. Visual references came from the Japanese street racing culture of the 1990s and early 2000s, the crossover of animation and this culture is nothing new, I had lots of inspiration from shows such as Wangan Midnight and Initial D. My intention was to recreate the almost meditative state that I feel from driving long trips and listening to my favourite music.
