Music video for “Tone of Everyday” (日々の音色; Hibi no Neiro) by Japanese band Sour from their first mini album “Water Flavor EP”.
The song is just ok, but the MV super cool. The cast were selected from actual Sour fan base around the world; and each person and scene was filmed purely via webcam and stitched together to make the awesome video…
