Music Video
The video was shot in Tokyo, Japan, under the direction of Muto Masashi. Whilst Tokyo is known for lack of proper filming clearance procedures, for the first time in history a specific permission was attained from the mayor of the city to film outdoor scenes in the streets.
During the clip, it features the city at night. Some scenes include men gambling, girls singing a karaoke, as well as a group of Japanese women and several of the band members performing Para Para. It also shows a huge influence of Japanese traditional culture.
The "making of" featurette for the clip reports that after filming the scenes in a nightclub, Roy from the group exchanged his outfit from the video for one of the Dance Dance Revolution machines.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“Let music sound while he doth make his choice;
Then if he lose he makes a swan-like end,
Fading in music.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
