They actually went to Japan to shoot on location. Pretty crazy...

not bad. I think she pulls it off. Not sure what the purpose was--and it pretty much sounds like she's just singing over the original instrumentation. My favorite recent actress turned singer for one song is still the late Britney Murphy tearing it up on Paul Oakenfold's Fasterkill Pussycat.

note that it says the video is starring Kirsten Dunst.. not necessarily that she is singing.... can anyone confirm if it is her singing?

Shame it doesn't really address the masturbatory subject matter of the original video - could have been a sly additional angle along with the simplistic Japanese reference. Despite her getting panned around here in the past, I quite like Dunst. Maybe it's just because her lead roles in two of the three movies by Sofia Coppola. Maybe Coppola's good musical taste has rubbed off on Dunst.

Sweet! I've always wondered how to say "this blows dead goats" in Japanese.

Nice look. [xx(] Reminds me of Stephanie from Lazytown.

Oddly this is the only time I've found Kristen Dunst even remotely attractive. Reminds me of the nutjobs I used to date back in 1992 at the height of Rave culture. Goofy wigs, lunchboxes for purses, glow sticks, Dr. Seuss hats, loose morals...

The funniest thing about the video is that she COMPLETELY misses the point of the song. Her version is annoying as well.

She does miss the point of the song but I do love the video.
