A 'Good Luck!' (jdorama) Music Video [updated 2006.08.21]

[winterspel]

It's been a long time since I last made a music video - last summer, in fact.

I made this for koalathebear's upcoming birthday, and I'm posting it with her permission:

Title: Passion (During the Battle)
Song: Passion (During the Battle) by Utada Hikaru
Source: Good Luck! Japanese drama (starring Takuya Kimura), Shinkai/Ogawa pairing
Notes:

• Good Luck! is a Japanese drama that focuses on a young commercial pilot, Shinkai, with Air Nippon Airlines, and this vid demonstrates how he and the young female airplane mechanic, Ogawa, are always coming and going, until they can finally stand together. It is not really necessary to have seen the series in order to understand the video.
  
• I did not vid to the lyrics, because they are in Japanese, and it was too hard for me to find a translation and then (this was the hard part) guess at matching everything up. I apologize in advance to any Japanese speakers.
  
• This version of the song, "Passion (During the Battle)" by Utada Hikaru is the opening song of the Kingdom Hearts II game, and it is amazing. I don't see how you can't be blown away by the song. Everyone who hears it, likes it. Here is more info on the song, plus lyrics and translation. The lyrics are very beautiful.
  
• My video files were hardsubbed, thus I had no way of turning the subtitles off - so a few escaped into the video here and there. Only once is intentional - when Shinkai in Honolulu and Ogawa in Japan are on the phone together.
  
• Enjoy! I'd love to know what you think! :)
