Perth Band Travel To Japan, End Up On Crazy TV Show

This is weird.

Strange things happen to bands when they travel overseas all the time, but we haven't seen anything quite like what Usurper Of Modern Medicine experienced when they went to Japan to film the video for their song Motorolla Borealis.

Director of Photography AJ Coultier was approached by a TV crew when he landed in Kyoto and they proceeded to follow him and the band around as they travelled through Japan making their clip. The filming was for a TV series by the name of Why Did You Come To Japan? and it's all very, very strange.

It begins at the 9.45 mark here:

We don't really know what's going on, but we know the dudes in the corner of the screen are really into it. 

Here's the clip that they filmed while they were over there. They raised the funds to make through a crowdfunding campaign.
