Hola Last night/this morning (12:30 AM, Puerto Rico Time) I catch part of the
LINKIN PARK video "Somewhere I Belong" and to my surprise they showed some
Gundam figures on a gabinet on a bedroom!!! What got my attention was a
"thing" I saw while stiching scenes, which awakened my curiosity as it
looked familiar. The thing was one on the figures (GUNDAM) legs (without a
body). They showed a Gundam (don't know what version) and a SAZABI figure.
If my video capture card was warking I would have made some stills
available. Now I am not a huge fan of this sort of music (I'm more into old school
Heavy Metal) and I watched the video just for curiosity and because they has
showed to be fans of mecha as evidenced on the cover of the REANIMATION
album whichj featured a Gundam-like mecha. The CD (Digipack) has severel
mecha illustrations on it and its the reason I'm keeping it because as I
stated I'm not into this type of music (though I like the songs "One Step
Closer" and "With You". This is the third pop music video I saw which features a mecha, the
others being Shaina Twain's "I'm Gonna Get Ya Good" and an Aerosmith "Fly
Away From Here" which featured a cool and sexy "girl-robot" and a lots of
kanji and anime influences all over the video! Looks like robots are
conquering the world of pop-music in swarms!
Thats all and forgive the length.
