I have not kept up with my favorite Japanese pop star.  This video, "machine civilization," came out in March or so.  Great stuff.  It seems to be asking us if we have become dehumanized by our modern mechanized economic-culture.   Sudo Genki means it, though, as his response to the disasters that swept Japan earlier this year – earthquake, tsunami, nuclear meltdown.  In a statement accompanying the video he hopes that these tragedies might prefigure some broader changes:

These disasters can be interpreted as a turning point for civilization.
I think that we have arrived at a time of revolution, shared with all
the people of the world, in today's society, economy, and political
systems.

And what we should be turning away from is impersonal modernism, as is evident in the lyrics:

The morning of machine civilization
Red pretext, shadow doubt
clad in mourning clothing of blue.
Rythm captured in the morning,

Always the same instant.
Don’t stop the production line.
Something broken,
In the twilight of machinery.
Where’s the world going?
Won’t somebody tell me?
Are these thoughts illusions?
Are we all one?
This world will be changed…?
This heart an illusion?

The movement certainly captures those sentiment (play it full screen):
