Synopsis

A blue-skinned alien band performs "One More Time" before a huge crowd on its home planet. The joyful concert takes a disturbing turn when an ominous spacecraft appears overhead and an unseen force disrupts the celebration. The musicians and their audience are left exposed as the peaceful event becomes the opening stage of an apparent invasion. Without dialogue, the video introduces the science-fiction story that continues through the rest of Daft Punk's animated Discovery saga.

Factoids & Trivia

• The video is made from footage that later became the opening sequence of the 2003 anime film "Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5ystem."

• "Interstella 5555" visualizes every track from Daft Punk's "Discovery" album in sequence, turning the record into a feature-length, dialogue-free animated musical.

• The project was created with Japanese animation artists and manga creator Leiji Matsumoto, whose space-opera designs strongly influenced the film's visual style.

• The alien musicians seen in the video are recurring characters in the larger film, rather than one-off figures created only for this single.

• The video helped establish "One More Time" as more than a conventional club track by pairing its celebratory message with a wider story about alien performers, abduction, and cultural exploitation.

• The song was released as the lead single from "Discovery" in November 2000, while the complete animated film followed in 2003.
