Takashi Murakami's video for Kanye West's "Good Morning"


12:05 PM on 08.27.2008




Total BFFs Takashi Murakami (artist, designer and media darling) and Kanye West (rapper, phat beat layer downer and friend of Japanator) are at it again. After teaming up to release a line of bling, the duo have come together once again to collaborate on a new West video.

"Good Morning" (seen above until the powers that be remove it, because who wants to actually see a video, amirght?) follows the trials and tribulations of the Kanye bear guy as he makes his way to a graduation ceremony. On the way to getting his "Bachelor of Hip-Hop Music" degree, he zips his way through Murakami's technicolor world full of dancing mushrooms and crazy football teams.

Personally, I find the CG animation a bit of a turn off, but then again, the really crappy YouTube quality probably hides the true Murakami majesty. I'm sure a Blu-Ray disc copy that found its way to my house would get a much more awesome review.

[UPDATE: Changed the video and added some screenshots]

Just reload the page and try again... it worked for me
I kinda like the animation, but certain things about this just make me hate Kanye all the more *sigh*

Also one red and one green eye. ha. ha.....
Changed it to a much higher quality non-YouTube video. Let's see how long it lasts...
love kanye, love murakami, love akira, check out the "kanye west-graduation amv's on Vimeo.com , awesome videos set to Tron, oldboy, akira, 2046 and so forth
Thanks for posting this. :D
Alright video, but not want Kanye.
Is it wrong to be excited about seeing a DeLoreon in this video? Or am I to old?
that was fun but the music didnt suit the animation which kinda made it feel like an AMV to me.


PS I hate AMVs (most of them)
Actually, I was disappointed in Murakami's part, but pleasantly surprised by Kenye West's part.

I'm totally grossed out that the louver shades are coming back, but I bet most of you guys weren't even born in the '80s, let alone remember that kind of crap. God, I feel old…
Am I the only one that wondered what the bear's geass was? :3

I thought it was pretty dope! At least from a marketing standpoint. If you notice the video is based on the entire cd jacket. So subliminally ( if I even spelled that right) Ye had us prime from the start. Murakami is just killing ish right now, what a great duo. Like you, when I saw the video I immediately linked it as a post on our site.
OMG! The back to the future DeLoreon, WITH the hover modifications!
This video was shown last year as part of Murakami's exhibit in Los Angeles. They also showed the first episode of the KaiKai & Kiki animation.

Plus the carpet of the (no seats) screening room was all Murakami design too. Very surreal.
Goddamn I love Kanye. That shit was ill, the animation, the surreal scenes, the Murakami artwork. The track is great too.

There's a DeLorean!! I flipped the fuck out when I saw that. Love this video.

And Ye reads japanator? WHAT?! That's crazy!
Certainly a cute video, but eh on the Kanye West.
I appreciate this appreciation for Daft Punk and cool animation, but I'm not a huge fan of his music.
I'm not much of a rap fan , but It was cool. ^_^
a pretty cool video

and props for the flying Delorean of course
my 08 heartbreak
so sad to see you go...
love kanye, but wat is he gonna do now that he graduated?
