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:
“Noble and wise men once believed in the music of the spheres: noble and wise men still continue to believe in the “moral significance of existence.” But one day even this sphere-music will no longer be audible to them! They will wake up and take note that their ears were dreaming.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“These people figured video was the Lord’s preferred means of communicating, the screen itself a kind of perpetually burning bush. “He’s in the de-tails,” Sublett had said once. “You gotta watch for Him close.””
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
