{{expand}}''Shinya Tsukamoto'' (born January 1, 1960) is a Japanese film director and actor who has twice worked with [[Nine Inch Nails]].
==Work with NIN==
===MTV Promo===
[[Trent Reznor]] had previously contacted Tsukamoto with a request to make a music video, which due to label difficulties had never been achieved. However, Tsukamoto was approached to create a TV spot for MTV Japan, and so he was able to collaborate with Reznor on the 50 second piece.
About:
<blockquote>Made by Tsukamoto Shinya as the first-ever station ID for MTV Japan, this video was called "TOH (Top of the Hour)". It was used from September 1993 til August 1994.
<br>
So far, a number of famous film-makers have made the TOH in the US. This time - exclusively for MTV Japan - Nine Inch Nails, who had been asking Tsukamoto to do their promotional video, penned the music. With this familiar melody [sic] by NIN, the video almost feels like a scene from the movie Tetsuo.
<br>
The film won the Station/Network ID award at New York Festival 1994. [The copywriter fails to mention "who", but somebody] attended the ceremony and got tumultuous applause.
<br>
MTV Europe started using this TOH video in February 1994 for the opening title of the Rock Block programme.</blockquote>
===Tetsuo:The Bullet Man===
In 2009, Reznor and Tsukamoto once again were able to work together, this time with Reznor creating the [[Theme For Tetsuo: The Bullet Man|theme]] to the third in Tsukamoto's epic cult series ''Tetsuo'', entitled ''Tetsuo: The Bullet Man''.
