Kanye West, 'Stronger' Graduation

In celebration of their 2001 acclaimed French House album Discovery, Daft Punk created: Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem (2003) a Japanese style anime. My favourite clip/song has to be 'Harder Better Faster Stronger'...

...If we add to this a visually arresting bike chase scene from anime classic Akira, (1988) nicely dubbed here in French...

...Then what you get is Kanye's new Hype produced video featuring Cassie. Quite why Kanye should only now reveal an interest in anime and french electronica im not sure, but this hybrid video has to gain attention for the influences as much as it also heralds Kanye's unleashing of his final? album Graduation.
