Television was quickly becoming a popular medium as TV sets became more affordable, and because of various socioeconomic circumstances, more and more European youths were spending time in front of it. In the 1970s and 80s, anime was gaining an international foothold, most prominently in Europe. What was this show, this movie, you probably wondered? Where did it come from? The legacy of Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem lies in the work of noted mangaka Leiji Matsumoto and Toei Animation, and the effect it had on those that grew up with it. The videos, like the music, felt new and wildly different from anything else out there at the time, mostly because each video seemed to tell a continuous story. In 2001, Daft Punk released the music videos for ‘One More Time’, ‘Aerodynamic’, ‘Digital Love’, and ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger’ off their newest album Discovery. What was your reaction when you watched Interstella 5555 for the first time?Īre Electroma and D.A.F.If you were a child in the early 2000s, chances are your first introduction to Daft Punk came as you were watching MTV or Cartoon Network’s late-night block of anime known as Toonami (for many of us, our first encounter with anime in general). Now when I listen to Discovery again I'll be thinking of : Arpegeuis, Baryl, Stella and Octave! Also the Something About Us scene was touching and quite sad, again matching the mood of the song. The "Voyager* scene was beautiful and it showed off the quality animation as well as making the Voyager bassline even more magical. My favourite scene was the High Life scene where the nominations occurred, seeing Thomas's helmet say "Happy" put a big smile on my face. One of the best things about the film was how Discovery fitted perfectly with the video, an example of this was the Aerodynamic scene where it started off really frantic as the enemy attacked and then the commotion gradually died down - perfectly matching the feel of the Aerodynamic track. I've heard Discovery countless times now and I thought it was finally time to watch the film that accompanied it.
