Boyzone's "No Matter What" as Yaoi AMV

[DongShenYin]

I don't know if this song is well-known or not, but I think it's a FANTASTIC choice for a yaoi-themed AMV. Two guys singing about how they'll always love each other even though socitey say different. Has Ai no Kusabi all over it!!! Please someone do this vid, please?!?!

Eh, last I heard, getting Ai no Kusabi footage was very very difficult. >.< The best I've seen was fansubbed tapes complete with originally poor quality and (of course) subtitles. About the only way to get good footage (since there doesn't seem to be an import dvd version) would be bootleges (ultimate evil). But if someone could manage it I'm sure it would be a unique vids - rare anime here.

But if the song is good I'm sure it could be used for other anime - many yaoi/shonen ai anime feature that 'society in arms' theme - and others can be made to feature it with a little manipulatin.

Makes me wish I'd heard the song you refer to. ^_^;;

The DVD isn't that hard to get; I have it. But I must admit that those who want it must be willing to shell out $100. Yes, I paid $100 for yaoi. I try not too hard to think about it. Anyway, here's the url:

It is of course, unsubtitled, as it is from Japan. But it has neat extra features and a script (which I can't read) as well as an Itialian soundtrack.

Oh and here's the Lyrics to No Matter What:

No Matter What
Boyzone
Andrew Lloyd Webber (music)/Jim Steinman(lyrics)
No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true

No matter what they call us
However they attack
No matter where they take us
We'll find our own way back

I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know I'll love forever
I know, no matter what

If only tears were laughter
If only night was day
If only prayers were answered
Then we would hear God say

No matter what they tell you
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach you
What you believe is true

And I will keep you safe and strong
And sheltered from the storm
No matter where it's barren
A dream is being born

No matter who they follow
No matter where they lead
No matter how they judge us
I'll be everyone you need

No matter if the sun don't shine
Or if the skies are blue
No matter what the end is
My life began with you

I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know, I know
I know this love's forever
That's all that matters now
No matter what

If anyone has seen Andrew Lloyd Webber's 50th anniversary vid, then they've seen Boyzone in action. Yum.
