Videos: Cornelius: "Music", "Gum", and "Fit Song"

Keigo Oyamada, aka Japanese pop wizard Cornelius, delivers videos for "Gum", "Music", and "Fit Song", each culled from his album Sensuous, which landed last month in his home country, but has yet to be released elsewhere.

The almost entirely black-and-white clip for "Gum" displays a kaleidoscope of repeated Japanese characters. Despite its impressive animation, the video is a little uneventful up until the explosive grand finale, which rivals a fireworks show.

In "Music", we're presented with a band of disembodied children, which, we promise you, isn't as gruesome (or interesting) as it sounds.

But we saved the best for last. "Fit Song" is a whirlwind of mid-air motion; it's fucking incredible, to say the least. Who knew everyday items such as sugarcubes, slippers, clay, toothpaste, and light bulbs could have such flair?

As previously reported, Cornelius will play the Meredith Music Festival tomorrow (December 9) alongside Band of Horses, Tapes 'n Tapes, Girl Talk, and more.
