Video roundup!
Various stuff, not just Gackt this time!
The full-length version PV of the Bokurano opening theme, "Uninstall", by Chiaki Ishikawa. I've been listening to this obsessively. It's karaoke-subbed in both romaji and English, but the letters are pretty tiny, so here are the romaji and English lyrics.
Another PV of an Ishikawa song used as the opening to the yuri anime Simoun. I don't think I've found an English translation of this one yet, but the romaji is here. Yuri generally isn't my thing, but there's something about the story the video tells that captivates me.
Cen no Kotoba (A Thousand Words) in Japanese, from Final Fantasy X-2, high quality version. I find the English version kind of corny by comparison; why did they find it necessary to change the visuals, as well as the lyrics? Did they think we were too dumb to figure out what was going on if they didn't show both Yuna and Lenne separately? Sheesh.
An AMV of live-action Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, to the Gackt song Lust for Blood.
I dislike Hayden Christiansen's Anakin Skywalker, but this video did a great match of song with video and is nicely edited (although that damned nightgown of Padme's always makes me groan. Who in their right mind would wear a nightgown with three BEADED STRAPS on each side? It looks spiffy, but you'd be full of holes by morning; I hope it's just a robe or something.)
Friday Morning Edit: Oh, and anybody who wants my chibi-Tasuki avatar, grab at will. I threw it together last night when I wanted an avatar for amazement and didn't have one. lol.
