Video: Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Takes You To Heaven's Divide
Just when you think that Metal Gear mastermind Hideo Kojima has run out of ways to make you scratch you head and ask yourself, "wtf?" he and his team come up with something like this.
Proving that the graphics engine behind Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is good for more than just games, Kojima Productions and Jpop star Nana Mizuki team up in this inventively bizarre music video for her song, "Heavens Divide." Sure, the entire thing isn't exactly rendered in real time on a PSP and there are a few clever edits here and there, but for the most part, this is what players should expect from one of this year's most anticipated PSP titles. If you find yourself humming alone to the tune by the end of the video, you'll be happy to know that the song will be released on April 7th through the usual import outlets. I know that I've been a little hard on Peace Walker because it is getting released on the system that I play the least unfortunately, but things like this do start to bring me back around. Hopefully, I'll be ramped up and excited to get my hands on the game when it releases later this summer.

Just a minor correction: the song is actually "Koi no yokushiryoku" ("The Deterrent Power of Love"), and is the B-side for the Heaven's Divide single.
What was with her clothing momentarily disappearing? Does that have anything to do with the lyrics?
And as weird as that all was for a second my hopes got really really high that she was about to enter a choreographed dance sequence when they were all in that line but apparently not.
Uncanny valley TO THE MAX!
