Wild Card: EXO- MAMA

Even though this is a music video, I think it suits CyberARTS Tech due to the computer animations made for the story introduction and to give all twelve members in EXO a sort of celestial power. (Teleportation, wind, earth, light, water, fire, time control, telekinesis, lightning, heal, frost, and flight) （；゜０゜）

 

EXO is a Chinese-South Korean boyband that has two subgroups, EXO-K and EXO-M. EXO-K sings in Korean and promotes in Korea while EXO-M sings in Mandarin and promotes in China. They made their debut in 2012 and in the past year, became known to Beliebers and Directioners by coming out suddenly and beating them in the EMAzing Award ψ(｀∇´)ψ

MAMA starts off with an English voice over illustrating the birth of twelve legendary powers that break into two separate forces in order to "keep alive the heart of the tree of life" which is being conquered by an evil force. The two legends divide the tree of life in half, and carries each piece to their own lands. The narration then declares that the two legends will "reunite into one perfect root" on the day, the evil force purifies.

No but seriously, their MAMA music video is amazing and is what got me into K-pop (And btw no, this song isn't about their mamas, in Korean, MAMA translates to "your highness" or "your majesty") 

There are two music videos for MAMA, one in Korean and the other in Mandarin but I chose a video that someone made that shows both of them at the same time.
