While the video in the American version uses bits from the Japanese, it's
mostly different. Also, The Scene (TM) makes use of an obviously televisual
image of the pertinent character, complete with some static/white noise.
While I found that interesting, it also makes her appear less incarnate than
in the Japanese...and the way she moves isn't so different. Pardon my
description. I'm trying to keep it incomprehensible to those who haven't
seen it yet, but since you've seen the Japanese, I'm sure you'll know what I
mean. :-)
