The Kristen Dunst ‘Turning Japanese’ video has the blueberry-haired actress happily skipping about the Tokyo district of Akihabara singing that hit from The Vapors. Produced by Takashi Murakami and directed by McG, the [music video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-love) explores the [culture of Japan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ufo-robot-grendizer).

The video is actually kind of funny, as Kirsten Dunst looks like she just escaped out of a bad episode of [Sailor Moon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superflat-animation) and she seems to get more in depth with the customs of Tokyo than Gwen Stefani ever did. This is a video that is definitely worth checking out.
