Japanese calligraphy

Souun Takeda (武田双雲) is my favorite Shodouka (Japanese calligraphy artist), his artworks are AWESOME. Almost all of his works are copyrighted so the only video I can put here is a 30sec clip officially distributed on YouTube by Discovery Channel:

世界に拍手　日本版

NicoNicoDouga artists creates shodo arts and creates videos:

The artist's nickname is "Himajin Yanai (Himajin means he has lots of spare time...) the letters written on the video are the lyrics of the song by a musician called ACIDMAN.

飛光を書いてみた。

Another video by the same artist:

金色のカペラを書いてみた。

I know it is difficult to understand what's happening but the artist changes the style of the letters based on the lyrics, and for the 2nd phrase starts playing around a bit more.

For example, this letter is "eye(目)", and the calligraphy looks like an eye:

Eye

Another example, this letter is "fly（飛ぶ)" and the letter looks like a person is flying:

Fly

This one is drawn by another artist called monomono, and the letters moves this time. The music and lyrics are from an animation called "Gintama", the main character is a man and you can see the letters are written with a strong and man-ly touch.

銀魂ｏｐ「曇天」を筆で表現してみた（フル完成版）

This one is drawn by monomono again, the music is from a game called Touhou, and the characters that appear in Touhou are girls, so the letters written here are much more softer and girly than the letters above.
