The song launches with themes from folk instruments, the shamisen and didgeridoo, joined after by analog horns and a basin to create a human-made techno. This “manpower” theme continues throughout the music video, using imagery to express human movement. The performance was realized through a single, set camera angle, stylized with slow, spliced frames and wire action movements.
