Thundercat has just unleashed his hilarious ode to Japan's capital in his new video for "Tokyo." The award-winning bassist has been vocal about his love for Japanese culture and after watching this video, it would be hard to deny that. Directed by Jun Hanamoto-Hearn, the video was shot earlier this year while Thundercat was on tour in Japan.
The video follows Thundercat as he roams the streets of Tokyo, interacting with the locals and expressing his love for sushi, anime and Japanese culture.
"Tokyo" serves as the first video off of his album Drunk, which is now available through Brainfeeder.
