Japanese animation house Studio 4°C is one of the absolute finest in the world, consistently turning out just flat out brilliant work, so any new projects are well worth taking notice of and here's one that seems to have slipped under the radar.
Amazing Nuts is an upcoming DVD release of four pieces of animation set to music. I'm not certain at this point if these are simply Studio 4°C directed music videos or if we're looking at something a little longer form but the director / musician pairings look like this:
Takashi Yamashita / RAM RIDER
Daisuke Nakayama / M-flo
Yasuhiro Aoki / Koda Kumi
4°Farenheit / Mink
The release is coming in three flavors: a barebones DVD / CD combo releasing December 5th, then the Normal Edition and Limited Edition DVDs on December 19th.

They should slightly alter the tagline to read "You Can See Your Future Love In Our AMAZING NUTS".
Looks impressive from the stills - from 4°C I would expect no less. It would be MORE impressive if Yoko Kanno was involved with the music, but that's true of any movie.
The title alone promises many hours of fun.
Holy shit, RAM RIDER. Never expected that.
I can't wait.
M-flo, that's a plus. But M-flo loves DOPING PANDA? Even better.
From what I can gather, it is actually 4 shorts, 10 minutes each (according to the dvd information from the site) set to the music tracks. The cd+dvd will feature the musical tracks used as well as Promotional Videos for each short using their respective musical backing. For the actual shorts, you'll have to buy the dvd.
Can anyone read Japanese on the Yesasia site to see what extras come with the LE?
A second DVD with extras and a 'Nuts perfect book', no word on what either of those contains. Probably making of-type material on the dvd and the book might contain storyboards.
Ram Rider is da shiznit!! Japanese Daft Punk! M-Flo sucks balllss
The pics is excellent...I really like the style, especially M-Flo Doping Panda.
