If an [OK Go video](http://motherboard.tv/2010/3/2/the-best-music-video-of-the-year-is-a-diy-mouse-trap-for-the-music-biz) can spread like the cutest plague ever, I have no idea why this adorable gem from Japanese band [Sour](http://sour-web.com/ensemble.php) didn&#x2019;t go viral on its release in 2009. No matter. With help from webcam- and digital point and shoot-sporting fans all over the world, the directing team of Masashi Kawamura, Hal Kirkland, Magico Nakamura, and Masayoshi Nakamura managed to put together the hyperkinetic collage dance below. It&#x2019;s awesome and kinda nuts.

This music video was shot for Sour's 'Hibi no Neiro' (Tone of everyday) from their first mini album 'Water Flavor EP'. The cast were selected from the actual Sour fan base, from many countries around the world. Each person and scene was filmed purely via webcam.

LYRICS ----------------------------------------------------------

Your heart that gently reflects in the puddle 
is your tone, as you pass through the maze of everyday

Footsteps of spring  
the city starts adding color 
The melody flowsLE LU LA LI
Through the colored lenses

ReggaeDubHiphopTechnoLatin 
Between the waves of all the different values
JazzRockPops Category no more
Whats the most important thing?

Spinning and turning on the overpass 
as we overtake that season
this and that, which color is your melody?
Sometimes you could get confused

ReggaeDubHiphopTechnoLatin 
Between the waves of all different values
JazzRockPops Category no more
What are you thinking of now?

If we can embrace all the differences
It will shine the sky in rainbow colors
Your heart that gently reflects in the puddle 
is your tone, as you pass through the maze of everyday

You can see it in any color, because of your clear feeling
Dont worry about it, lets just go as we are.
If we can embrace all the differences
The rain will stop, and the sky will shines in rainbow colors

Your heart that gently reflects in the puddle 
is your tone, as you pass through the maze of everyday
You can see it in any color, because of your clear feeling
Let your tone shine like the rainbow

Pass through the maze of everyday
And start playing your tone

そっと　水たまり鏡に写る心は　日々の迷路抜けた君の音色

春の足音にわか色付く街並み
流れる「レルラリ」メロディー色眼鏡越し
ReggaeDubHiphopTechnoRatin氾濫する価値の波間に
JazzRockPops Category no more大切なものは　何？

まわりまわる高架追い越した季節に
あれやこれ 何色のメロディー？　とまどう時も

JazzRockPops Category no moreいま何を思うの？

全ての違いを受け入れたら　虹色に輝く空を射す
水たまり鏡に写る心は　日々の迷路抜けた　君の音色

何色にも見えるのは澄んだ気持ちのせいだ　
気にすることなんかないよこのままゆこう
全ての違いを受け入れたら　虹色に輝く雨上がりの空

きっと　水たまり鏡に写る心は　日々の迷路抜けた君の音色
何色にも見えるのは澄んだ気持ちのせいだ　虹色に輝いて　君の音色

日々の迷路抜けて　奏でる君の音色
