English band Jamiroquai is getting the S.H.Figuarts treatment, and will appear wearing the iconic outfit from their Virtual Insanity music video, which took home four awards at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards, including Video of the Year.
Boasting the unique flexibility of S.H.Figuarts products, this figure comes with two interchangeable facial expression parts, three left hand and four right hand parts, and three paper craft sofas (2x 1-seater, 1x 3-seater) . All this allows you to recreate the famous dance scenes from the unforgettable music video!
And in case you don’t remember this video, let me leave the music video for Virtual Insanity down below:
“Virtual Insanity” is a song by British funk band Jamiroquai, released on 19 August 1996 as the second single from their third studio album, Travelling Without Moving (1996). The song interpolates parts of Jocelyn Brown’s post-disco hit “Somebody Else’s Guy” (1984), and its award-winning music video was released in September 1996, garnering 10 nominations and winning four, including for “Video of the Year”, at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards.
About Jamiroquai
Jamiroquai are an English funk and acid jazz band from London. Formed in 1992, they are fronted by vocalist Jay Kay, and were prominent in the London-based funk and acid jazz movement of the 1990s. They built on their acid jazz sound in their early releases and later drew from rock, disco, electronic and Latin music genres. Lyrically, the group has addressed social and environmental justice. Kay has remained as the only original member through several line-up changes.
The band made their debut under Acid Jazz Records but subsequently found mainstream success under Sony. While under this label, three of their albums have charted at number one in the UK, including Emergency on Planet Earth (1993), Synkronized (1999) and A Funk Odyssey (2001). The band’s 1998 single, “Deeper Underground”, was also number one in their native country.
As of 2017, Jamiroquai had sold more than 26 million albums worldwide. Their third album, Travelling Without Moving (1996), received a Guinness World Record as the best-selling funk album in history. The music video for its lead single, “Virtual Insanity”, also contributed to the band’s success. The song was named Video of the Year at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards and earned the band a Grammy Award in 1998.
