Smily.
This is a music video by Otsuka Ai, a young Japanese pop singer.
The locale is the island of Guam, the tempo is upbeat, the actual translation,
well, forget it. It will make you puke.
If neither the music nor the video brings a smile to your face, on some
level, then you are a more cynical son of a bitch than I. The young gal's
enthusiasm, the locale, etc., makes this just a fun piece of music.
Hell, I would agree to be in a video like this one. Well,
maybe after a few Coronas. Make that a lot of Coronas, without the beanie
cover, speedos and fat gut. Damn it, then. I will sit on the beach. Now,
leave me to hell alone.
The video was down–sampled to Adobe Flash to accommodate bandwidth
consumption. In other words, I shrunk the size so it wouldn't take
as long to download. Naturally, the quality degraded somewhat but
that was the necessary compromise.
This video requires the latest version 9 of the Adobe Flash Player
[EXT].

Accessibility.
The main thrust of using this video is that it presents a unique challenge
to provide alternative content for the broad spectrum of viewers with disabilities.
Any Web visitor should have the opportunity to interpret music and video without
restrictions based upon any disability they may have. This particular content
is an example that broad accessibility can be done.
As of yet, I have not undertaken that objective. Please be patient with me.
Thank you very much.
