The Ballad of Narayama
Every now and then something will pop up in the Twitch Player, uploaded by some random person out there, that I know absolutely nothing about but that blows my mind anyway. This is one of those times. Here’s what I know. It’s a Thai music video that was uploaded under the title of Play Girl. Music’s catchy enough but the fun bit is the split of live action and animation, the animation a sort of 2D cut and paste that makes heavy use of old Thai movie posters and the like. Very fun. You’ll find it below the break.

It’s Som Amara. Known to Twitchers as Zin—Jeeja’s mum—in Chocolate. Featuring Joey Boy from The Possible.
The real pull will be figuring who directed this crazy masterpiece.

Can’t see it, do you have the song in your PC? Might be cool if you upload it to somewhere? Thanks though.
