I've always had trouble getting into visual novels, but recently I found one that sucked me in so completely that I finished it in no time, marking it as the first one I ever actually played till the end. It is called A Summer's End - Hong Kong 1986 and is a beautiful LGBTQ+ story set in Hong Kong in the 80's. The visuals are incredible and the soundtrack really sets the mood well for the time period.
Once I realized that the original version of Desire -情熱- (this Nana cover I used is not though) is also from 1986, this idea took hold of my brain and I had to manifest it so here I am! Been a while since I've indulged in AMV shenanigans - hope y'all like it! (TikTok version [here] )
And if you like what you see or are curious about this visual novel please grab it from Steam and give it a go yourself!!!
The partial lyrics for the song that I used and translated for the video can be found below. If anyone's interested in the full translation for Desire -情熱- just let me know and I'll be happy to do it!
| Japanese | English |

| ぶつかり合って廻れ desire 星のかけらを掴め desire 夢はそうよ 見る前に 醒めてしまったら 何にもならない | Spin around colliding into each other, desire Grasp the fragments of stars, desire Dreams are like that, if you wake up before seeing one, it won't become anything |
| Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up Burning love | Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up Burning love |
| まっさかさまに堕ちて desire 炎のように燃えて desire 恋も dance, dance, dance、dance ほど 夢中になれないなんて 淋しい | Falling utterly head over heels, desire Burn like a flame, desire As madly in love as into dance, dance, dance, dance I am unable to fall, it's lonely |
| Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up Burning heart | Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up Burning heart |
| Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up Burning love | Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up Burning love |
