In the spirit of Kevin Dart's "Seductive Espionage: The World of Yuki 7" exhibition, I thought I'd post this music video by Towa Tei. This video came out in 2008, but it's still one of my favorite Shibuya-kei songs. Featuring Lina Ohta, the cinematography is almost reminiscent of something out of a Wong Kar-Wai film. Towa Tei is a DJ based in Japan who works primarily in the genres of bossa-nova, lounge, jazz and dance music. Tei's music is best described as a tasty combination of the seductive and the sophisticated.
