Kazumi Kurigami is one of Japan’s leading commercial photographers and TV commercial directors. He’s been working since the 1960s and in 2009 he made the feature film Gelatin Silver, Love. He’s worked with major clients like Nissan, Sony and Suntory. For the trendy Parco department store Kurigami-san shot slowly moving Warhol-esque portraits of glamorous western celebrities like Faye Dunaway, Margaux Hemingway, Dominique Sanda and… Gary Numan.

The New Wave superstar is seen peering into what we moderns might think is a super slim futuristic iPad, but that is revealed ultimately to simply be a mirror. That Gary!

The English translation of the voiceover is:

“I am an android. I look exactly like a human. PARCO.”

It’s 15 seconds long, I can’t think of anything else to write about it. It’s Numan bein’ Numan. That’s all I got for ya.
