"The Sky Remains The Same As Ever" (DVD)

What is the underlying souce of power of MONO? What makes their sound so
powerful as if it reaches the bottome of our heart, grab it and shake it brutally?
What makes their music go beyond the borders and create the same exceptional
craziness among people of different color of skin, different race, different language?
You might find an answer in this DVD.
It captured their documentary of European tour in the winter of 2006, the tours in
Japan, Korea, US and Canada in 2007.
The DVD is the first video MONO has ever created and yet it could be the ultimate
complete work of their history.
"The Sky Remains The Same As Ever" will be out this summer.
This DVD was filmed and edited by Teppei. He is well known
figure as "photographer specialized in live music" in Japan.
This is his first video he has ever created.
He made five roundtrips among the continents and spent more than sixty days
to film the band. And at the end, he had over a hundred tapes to work on
editing.
Teppei's original vision and skill to capture a moment, that has been
nurtured as still photographer for many years, is vividly reflected in the moving
images in this DVD. He succeeded to seize the beauty, intensity, liveness
of MONO's live performance. Only a person who gained band's trust this much could have done.
As Teppei traveled with MONO on the road for many days, he filmed the
audience of many countries and showed us the band's off-stage life on the
road including the reunion with the band's close friends.
This is a feature film of raw passion, that goes beyond the borders and creates
one exceptional craziness among people of different color of skin, different
race and different language.
