peter Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 And now, seriously.... Was Madonna on the top of the dilusional game when she thought she could play a japanese woman in a film? Well ... wasn't there controversy that a Chinese woman was cast to play a role instead of a Japanese woman? I mean ... a Caucasian should have just as much of a chance as an Asian in that case. It was a long shot, of course... Just saying the casting was controversial ultimately. Of course, it would have been MORE controversial for Madonna to be cast as Hatsumomo, but ... whatever. I never actually saw the film or read the book, so what do I know? I just love the NRM video. I remember it premiered on Valentine's Day weekend, and the VH1 vj said that's when Madonna wanted it to be introduced "for its message of universal love." And then nearly three months later, the maxi-single CD was released in record stores. It was never gonna be a top 10 hit (being a fourth/fifth single) but ... come on. WB totally botched that release, with the physical product delivered well after airplay "peaked." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolidayGuy Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 MTV had it on its "When Bad Videos Happen to Good Artists" countdown- probably cause it couldn't make heads or tails out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyenzed Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 In the days before the internet I remember seeing this on television and I was blown away, Madonna like I'd never seen her before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruncher9123 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I think the choreo is reminiscent of Butoh - a style of dance originating from Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRVC Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I think the choreo is reminiscent of Butoh - a style of dance originating from Japan. fucking terrifying.

Shane Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Anyone remember the online fan arguments over whether NRM or TPOG should be the third single? Love this video, and I remember the song was played somewhat regularly on my local pop station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promise to try Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 This is the most "typical madonna song" from ROL,I liked it when the album appeared,but I think it's an average song,nothing impressive.the video is weird,but she looks good,especially in the final part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasqual Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 i dont see anything weird in this video...nothing except beauty song have good dance vibe, very good but simple lyrics, nice message...madonna looks stunning....black kimono or redone....white japan people with water pillows put some contemporary art elements....coreography is good...not typical...what else? oh yes...after frozen video that was great, ray of light that was cool, drowned world that was also cool, NRM won the game...my favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivy Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Should have been third single ( excluding drowned world semi release? ) would have been the perfect trifecta, instead of being spoiled with the average POG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollhouse Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 POG actually made ROL resurrect in Christmas 2008. It sold extra 2-4 million thanks to POG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
