“Tokyo Sky Drive” is an absolutely stunning video journey through the city of Tokyo, using a parallel image trick to great effect.
The video below is “Night Ver. 01,” but you’ll also find versions taped during the day (01 and 02), all in HD and recorded using the Sony XR500V. Music in the “Night Ver.” is the track “A Furrow Dub” by Sugar Plant.

I can see Yo La Tengo working just fine, definitely.
Can anyone identify the music in Sky Drive version 02 and tell me where it can be purchased? It’s identified as a piece called “Happy Ending” by Flare, but I don’t think that’s actually it and I can’t figure out what it is.
On the YouTube page it says that the music is Ken Ishii’s “Flurry.”
