A Summer's End AMV - Desire -情熱-

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!

Arcane AMV - Love Fight!

So while I am typing away at my LIVE RUNNER 2020→2022 report, here's something to entertain you in the meanwhile.

After watching Arcane recently I got the first urge to make an AMV again after maybe idk, 10 years? I was originally planning to use another song (and still might later), but then it hit me that Love Fight! would actually go really well with the blossoming Vi x Caitlyn relationship.

The Coordinates of our Dream ☆ NEW AMV!☆

Yes, I just had to do another Misaki Kirihara AMV, I couldn't help myself. I just love her too much. Though, I did actually have a couple of other reasons why I wanted to make this AMV of her.

1. My previous Darker than BLACK AMV of Misaki and Hei was a bit... well, saying it didn't have a happy ending is a good way to put it. I mean the combination is great and really works, but I like these two together and then having it end with Misaki being like "who needs you" left me wanting to make one with a more positive finish, a hopeful one to be exact (Btw, I still don't understand how the Tokyo Nights AMV is viewable on YouTube again now, I swear it was blocked the last time I looked).
2. I was really dying to make one with a Nana song. Why? Because Misaki is voiced by Nana and I thought it would add something magical to the mix if it really was like Misaki was singing it herself. Kind of makes it more like it really is her feelings, that sort of thing.
3. After coming up with those two points I mentioned, I happened to be listening to PHANTOM MINDS and it instantly hit me how perfect the song was for my purpose. The mood of the song is hopeful and purposeful, and that sort of thing fits Misaki very well. Not to mention that the theme of stars really fits Darker than Black as a series and even Misaki's feelings for Hei. Success all around! 

Preparations for Japan

After a couple of months of nearly constant stressing, it is rather unbelievable that I currently find myself in a situation where I have a lot more sorted out by now than I ever thought I could possibly have. So here's a little update on where I'm currently standing.

BRIGHT STREAM is here~!

<3333!

Mmmm, Nothing better than waking up to the mailman delivering BRIGHT STREAM to my door (well truthfully I woke up to the racket my dogs were making because of the mailman.. but still.. :3)! Surprisingly fast delivery from HMV, I am very pleased.

Aamun Kuiskaus - AMV and Lyrics Translation

Holy hell, I just uploaded an AMV today! How long has it been?! I've been working on this one for quite some time, the longest I've worked on one AMV really. Not that this was particularly hard to make or anything, there just happened to be many obstacles on the way of making it - that's all. My editing program wouldn't work during the hot weather, had to find alternative versions of Dog Days since the one I had did not convert properly, general lack of time and so forth. xD Hopefully it won't take this long for me to release my next one - one can only hope, haha.

So anyways, this AMV is for a friend of mine who was the most sad to see me go when I left the United Kingdom last May. I made it in order to show her that I am not leaving her behind. Without further ado, here is the video. Enjoy!

Master & Apprentice Tribute AMV - Aamun Kuiskaus [w/ subtitles]

今日は。。。

So time for some random stuff for a change.... and some stalling concerning my song list yet again. Today has been quite an eventful day, so I figured it deserved an entry.

狐と狼 Tribute AMV - Goodbye

Enjoy~

Remember [This]? Well this AMV was what I was referring to over there. Why? Well purely for the fact that I have been working on the background images since last summer and that was the day I finally was done with them all and was able to move on to the actual video editing phase.
