Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger with Korean kids

At Winter Camp in Korea, a class full of middle schools do an interesting word project to the song “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” by Daft Punk. The school project took 90 minutes to do. After making signs, assigning seats, and practicing with word sign, you get this cool video. Remember timing everything.

Dreamers by DanAKADan x afterschoolspecial

Dreamers by DanAKADan x afterschoolspecial

Music group DanAKADan x afterschoolspecial dropped their long awaited “Dreamers” music video featuring some of your favorite Asian American YouTubers. The video takes a first person perspective of DanAKADan as he’s California dreamin’. Take a quick journey on some of the fun things to do on the West Coast. Among the cameos in the video are Cathy Nguyen, AJ Rafael, David Choi, Jason Chen, Jennifer Chung, Joseph Vincent, Toestah, Geo & Chuck of Instant Noodles Crew, Kevin Lien, Arika Sato, Scott Yoshimoto, Daniel Seo, Paul Dateh, Dawen, Wong Fu Productions, and Ryan Higa.

Here’s more about the video from DanAKADan:

The concept of this video still maintains the idea of a chase. The character (my character), is running around picking up items and going through scenarios that lead to another scenario, which lead to another scenario..etc. It’s all intertwined. The most important thing is that the video takes place in areas and has activities that are distinctly “Californian”, like Disneyland (or a place that looks like Disneyland….), In and Out Burger, Surfing, running through the mountains, etc. It’s an ode to the State that has provided so much for myself, a place I love to live, and also an ode to the state of mind that entertainment, specifically Asian American entertainment is in today. It features some people that I once only dreamed of working with, creating a video that’s so community driven, and even in the song, it features an indie state of mind as to how the track came together. It’s a great way to kick of 2012 and I’m thrilled to have it finally available for you all to watch. Even for those that aren’t in Southern California, I think it’s a loving way to see the state from the eyes (quite literally) of someone and to experience a character who’s dreams live out through the song. Share + Pass on the good word!

You can get the single off their “It’s All In Your Head album” on Dreamers - It's All In Your Head or amazon.

Dreamers by DanAKADan x afterschoolspecial

Lyrics to Dreamers by DanAKADan x afterschoolspecial

What up world, oh yea these people are strange
They be California dreaming, they be spitting their games
They be weaving their webs, choosing the music instead
Working this life over sleep, love, family, and friends
Oh what a world, oh what these people have done
From North Park in San Diego to the land they go dumb
From Dub Step to Club Left Indie Rock in the basement
This Californication is invading the nation
Strangers in a strange land, yea we continue
You’ve been doomed, lest your learn what you have been through
And us too? Hell No, won’t even pretend to
It”s peace to the West and what up to the Fresh dude
What Up World, how you doing today,
Said i’ll be doing fine hanging down by the bay
Yeah I’ll be doing fine when i’m drifting away
Cuz i’m a California Dreamer yeahhh
What Up World, how you doing today
Said i’ll be doing fine when i’m flying away
Yeah, I’ll be doing fine flying high and away
Cuz i’m a California Dreamer Baby
Yeah that’s whats up, we’ve built ourselves on this scene
Suckers bleed to be seen, do what it takes to succeed
What up to struggling bands, piled in broken down vans
Traveling up and down the coast just to play for their fans
I was a fan first, inspired by their verse,
Tired and unversed just diein’ to rehearse
Compete with the rest and since every moments a test
It’s much respect for the vets that be setting these steps
So i pick up the mic, live it up tonight, continue my path
It’s still rock and roll, california soul, and if you know the math
The redwoods, the nightlife, hell even your mom please
Are built better when they’re from the land of the palm trees

What Up World, how you doing today,
Said i’ll be doing fine hanging down by the bay
Yeah I’ll be doing fine when i’m drifting away
Cuz i’m a California Dreamer yeahhh
What Up World, how you doing today
Said i’ll be doing fine when i’m flying away
Yeah, I’ll be doing fine flying high and away
Cuz i’m a California Dreamer Baby
They say we’re crazy, the days seem to turn kinda hazy
Minutes turn to hours, every hour amazing
It’s a land of strange food, yea one you should taste
cuz when you take a bite, you’ll pray to stay for life
Stress aside, do or die, we’re never going blind
Winds breathe you in and puts us on our grind
Raise our drinks and leave our fears behind
Because we will remain dreamers here regardless of time
What Up World, how you doing today,
Said i’ll be doing fine hanging down by the bay
Yeah I’ll be doing fine when i’m drifting away
Cuz i’m a California Dreamer yeahhh
What Up World, how you doing today
Said i’ll be doing fine when i’m flying away
Yeah, I’ll be doing fine flying high and away
Cuz i’m a California Dreamer Baby
