It may sound odd if you've never been there, but the streets of Tokyo at night often double as snooze-stations for inebriated business folk - affectionately dubbed 'salarymen' - who can't face the journey home.

So forms the setting of Caviar director Taichi Kimura's weirdly wonderful promo for Lewis Thompson x David Guetta track Take Me Back, which sees the aforementioned slumberers form a snoring chorus line, captured through naturalistic camerawork and neon-loving cinematography.

“At first, I thought it was going to be a challenge for me to make a visually cinematic music video with a sense of humour…" explains Kimura,"but I believe we were able to pull it off on this one! I am very proud to make a video with such a unique concept in my home country and ever so grateful to make the visuals for these artists. 

"Finally, I would also like to thank the Japanese businessmen who have a weak tolerance for alcohol and pass out in the street. This would have never been possible without them.”
