Something interesting that I just found out randomly on YouTube. I think the inspiration for the radio ad comes from this Akira Sci-Fi channel advertisement from 1998.

It legit has the same exact wording near the 0:37 mark

"You will enter a world beyond your imagination
A future out of control
And an experience you will never forget
Don't say we didn't warn you"

sounds like what he would watch lol

good find

classic album

Ye prolly put him on that

ye prolly put him onto some obscure p***

Akira might be the most influential anime in western music lmao

Weeknd has always been into movies, Kiss Land was based on alot of Blade Runner imagery and horror movie directors helped inspired the sound like John Carpenter

He played Air - Alone in Kyoto (Lost In Translation soundtrack) on the Memento Mori Kiss Land episode and paid homage to it again in Out of Time

This kind of thread is what KTT should be actually about lmao besides funny ass s*** like the Noah Sammak or Jay Elec threads

Noah Sammak

That was a classic

Incredible find OP

This is a crazy find @op

Weeknd has always had great taste, but now he just turns every one of his great, dark, raw, artistic inspirations into a 99c+ mass consumable pop piece of YUCK

(At least with everything post-Kiss Land)

and ngl his Starboy era he kind of brought back some of the raw dark artistry but now its just so blantantly bad

ANYWAYS good find @op

Makes it even harder

Y’all swear ye did so much s*** he didn’t do lol

There’s also hella other ads that sound just like this

Kanye had an entire performance in the outfit from the movie and had Kim in a 02 costume

Holy s*** good find

W op

OK and Akira was a popular movie decades before Kanye became famous

wym read again hahah
