:3 It reflects a millennial's love of the 1980s, from some of Ninja Sex Party's aesthetics to the lovely work by @kotlt-animation.bsky.social to capture elements from The Black Cauldron and Don Bluth.

:p Apologies to our Welsh friend Deborah: she has a love-hate relationship with the Disney film.

Screenshot: A trio of mystics focus luminescent magical light into a cauldron etched in a style similar to the Black Cauldron from titular 1980s Disney film

Screenshot: Having forged the mystical light into a crystal, the mystics summon it forth to use its magic for the benefit of the kingdom.

RIGHT. So, without further ado, we bring you the one, the only NSP single and music video:

Screenshot: The opening title to Ninja Sex Party's 2021 music video for "The Mystic Crystal". The scenery is of a medieval fantasy landscape, with a castle in the background and glowing fairies floating in the trees and bushes of the forest.
