  soratobu toshikeikaku is a quirky little j-pop music video (1 of 3) that is actually pretty good, if you can appreciate its style and substance. A girl in a plastic space bubble suit.......yep! Story: 6/10 Well basically its a bout this girl (who I assume is a pop star singer of sorts) having to get to a wedding, by way of traveling to the planet its on by way of a bubble space suit. For most of the music video it simply shows her losing control of it and some guy coming to help her. It remains unclear as to whether these two actually knew eachother inthe first place. Anyway their antics are pretty funny, they start to get attacked by these strange robots that seem to be wearing the same kinda plastic bubble, which can kinda come off as either quite entertaining, or down right boring depending on your view of it. Basically that is the over all plot to it, which is enough to get you through the 5 minutes. Over all the story is entertaining, but kinda hard to follow for its short run, though the ending I found to be pretty cute! Since the story (I felt) is left mostly up to guess work on the viewer's part, you may get a different conclusion compared someone else who has seen it as well. nnArtwork: 6/10nFunny thing is that this title kinda resembles a more western style of anime, as it seems quite Americanized with its artwork and clothing that the characters themselves wear. The main lead almost kinda reminded me of a pink haired Barbie doll. That being said I think it will appeal to most of us westerners, while nothing is overly detailed for sure, it does have a distinctness to it. Though I found the backgrounds to be pretty boring and unimaginative for the most part. Now I know some may argue that its trying to add a certain style and look with the video, (which it does for the most part) yet I can't help but feel that this thing isn't that great to look at for a 2005 title. nnSoundtrack: 7/10nObviously the most important thing with a music video. The whole time the story plays out you get this kinda neat Techno J-pop mid style beat. Its quite fun to listen to, though its lack of any real noticeable vocals does make it seem to kinda loop over and over throughout the video. Though this video is only 5 minutes so its not a real terrible thing. Nice beat, but a bit repetitive. nnCharacters: 5/10nUnfortunately there isn't much to say about this, since the music is not coming from any of the characters themselves, and only plays as more of a background track with their antics. A majority of the characters are there to simply move the video along, and you really only get to see the main lead female, male and a bunch of robots. Not quite varied in that regards,…
