Alrighty, I was told I should put all my ideas in one message, so here goes!. I only hope there's enough room!. Anyway, all my video ideas are up for grabs for anyone who is interested in using them (just as long as my name is mentioned) as I have neither the footage, knowledge or equipment to make these myself.
**********
Eternal Memory
Anime: "Cardcaptor Sakura"
Song: "Eternal Memory"
Album: "Mulan" soundtrack
This song was created for Disney's "Mulan" though it was not featured in the official soundtrack. I thought of Li and Meilin the moment I heard it!.
I picture this video having clips mostly from the episodes "The New Rival", "Meilin's Story" and "Just Like Old Times" as well as the Japanese counterparts to the episodes.
It should basically focus on Li and Meilin's relationship from childhood to present day, and how things have sadly changed between them since he left for Japan.

A Love Before Time
Anime: "Cardcaptor Sakura"
Song: "A Love Before Time" (Mandarin Version)
Album: "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" soundtrack
This music video is for those of you who, like me, wish Li would end up with Meilin instead of Sakura!.
In a way, my ideas for this one are similar to "Eternal Memory", except this one is less sad and more romantic, also, I can envision more cool battle scenes, like with the Fight Card and the Twin Cards, as well as lots of flashbacks to Li and Meilin training together as kids.
Some might ask why I chose the Mandarin Chinese version of the song. Well, to be honest, I thought it fit Meilin and Li better then the English version, seeing as they are both from China.

If I Lost You
Anime: "Yu-Gi-Oh"
Artist: Travis Tritt
Album: No More Looking Over My Shoulder
A tribute to the Kaiba brothers!. I once said to a friend that it seemed like Seto needed Mokuba more then the other way around... Well, this video idea is something of a testament to that.
Lots of dramatic moments and flashbacks from the Duelist Kingdom, Virtual Reality Game and maybe the Noah Arc. Also, this video could focus more on Seto's perspective.

You'll Never Take Me Alive!
Anime: "Yu-Gi-Oh"
Song: "You Can't Take Me"
Artist: Bryan Adams
Album: "Spirit: Stallion Of The Cimmaron" soundtrack
I thought of Seto Kaiba, one of my favorite anti-heroes, the moment I first heard this song!. It fits him really well, and I can see this video idea as a tribute to his hardships, his battles, etc. Mostly Duelist Kingdom and Virtual Reality Arc footage could be used for this.
Dragons At Dawn
Anime: "Yu-Gi-Oh"
Song: "Children Of Eve"
Artist: Linda Edar
Album: ?
Yet another video idea featuring the Kaiba brothers!. The moment I heard this song I couldn't help but think of them!. I also loved the irony with the lyrics about the "dragons".
This song would also fit the characters of Amelda, Varon and Raphael from the newer storylines in the Doom Organization Arc, so there could be some scenes and flashbacks with them too.
Some good footage for this video can be found from these episodes;
First Series
Episodes 20, 23, 24
Second Series
Episodes 8, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 41, 45, 58, 99, 100, 101, 103, 108, 109, 110, 116, 119, 121, 143, 150, 156, 166, 167, 168, 169, 172, 176
Joey, The Dog!
Anime: "Yu-Gi-Oh"
Song: "Hound Dog"
Artist: Elvis Presley
Album: "Lilo And Stitch" soundtrack
I just couldn't resist writing this idea!. A comedic tribute to our lovable canine duelist, Joey Wheeler!. Mainly footage from the Dungeon Dice Monsters episodes (Of course! He he!) and a little of Duelist Kingdom and Battle City!.
That Don't Impress Mai Much
Anime: "Yu-Gi-Oh"
Song: "That Don't Impress Me Much"
Artist: Shania Twain
Album: ?
For some reason, when I listen to Shania Twain on the country music channel, I can't help but be reminded of the independence and spunk of our favorite Harpy Lady duelist, Mai Valentine!. So this idea is a tribute to her, her duels, and her crazy, love/hate relationship with Joey!. Lots of Duelist Kingdom, Battle City and Battle Ship footage!.
Raphael's Heart
Anime: "Yu-Gi-Oh" Doom Organization
Song: "My Heart Will Go On"
Artist: Celine Dion
Album: "Titanic" Soundtrack
Those who are familiar with the character of Raphael from the new Doom Organization Arc might see this idea as a poor attempt at dark humor, but it certainly isn't meant to be. Using footage from episode 156 and onwards, I thought this would be the perfect song to use for a character profile for him, and to explore the tragedy that caused him to become part of Dartz's group...
Fire And Rain
Anime: "Rurouni Kenshin" Kyoto Arc
Song: "Desert Rose"
Artist: Sting
Album: Brand New Day
I pictured this video focusing mainly on three individual characters. Soujiro, Shishio and Anji. This idea is basically supposed to show the tragic events in Soujiro and Anji's lives, and how they each thought that joining Shishio was the right thing... Shishio, of course, is the fire, like the one that destroyed Anji's home and killed the five children he looked after, and Soujiro, naturally, is the rain!.
Devil In Disguise
Anime: "Rurouni Kenshin" Kyoto Arc
Artist: Elvis Presley
Album: "Lilo And Stitch" Soundtrack
A character Profile for Soujiro!. This time, instead of the usual drama or angst, this video idea could take a more lighthearted approach. I can totally picture the scenes in this video going back and forth between scenes where Soujiro appears sweet, innocent and unassuming, and the scenes where he becomes downright dangerous and scary!. Note: The lyrics "You fooled me with your kisses" could show that scene with Shishio kissing Yumi before he fights Kenshin, and the lyrics "I thought that I was in Heaven, but I was sure surprised" could show the scene where Saitoh reveals he has a wife and Kenshin thinks she'd have to be like Buddha to put up with him.
Kenshin's Journey Home
Anime: "Rurouni Kenshin"
Song: "The Journey Home"
Artist: Sarah Brightman
Album: Harem
This song is fairly new, and has a bit of a middle eastern feel to it, but I was reminded of Kenshin and Kaoru the moment I heard it!. This video idea basically tells of how Kenshin gave up being a wanderer and found a home and family with Kaoru and the others at the Kamiya Dojo. Lots of clips from the Tokyo and Kyoto Arcs, as well as the very last unaired episode, 96, and a bit of Seisouhen.
Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely
Anime: "Sailor Moon" R
Artist: Backstreet Boys
Album: Millenium
This video idea is dedicated to, in my opinion, the most overlooked and underappreciated antagonists in "Sailor Moon", the Black Moon family (Episodes 60 to 87 in the Japanese version).
Though I can picture it mostly focussing on Sapphire, Prisma and Diamond in particular, it could also include Catsy, Birdy and Avery as well.
The main reason I liked the Black Moon family so much was that they were so sympathetic and human compared to most of the other antagonists on the show, and this video idea should emphesize that.
If I Never Knew You
Anime: "Sailor Moon", "Sailor Moon" R and "Sailor Moon" S
Artist: ?
Album: "Pocahontas" soundtrack
This idea is meant to be a tribute to my favorite loves and couples in the show, be they good guys or bad guys, happy or tragic. Serena and Darian (Although I don't like them, I guess they should be in too, since they're the main couple of the show) Raye and Chad, Amy and Greg, Nephlite and Molly, Malachite and Zoicite, Ann and Alan, and Prisma and Sapphire. Loads of clips from "Sailor Moon" and both parts of "Sailor Moon" R as well as "Sailor Moon" S
Sakuya, Tenchi's Immortal
Anime: "Tenchi In Tokyo"
Song: "My Immortal"
Artist: Evanescence
Album: "Daredevil" soundtrack
Alright, first off I have never actually seen "Tenchi In Tokyo", or any of the Tenchi series for that matter, but I became interested in the relationship between Tenchi and Sakuya after watching the music videos "Loneliness" and "Carried Away", so I looked up info on the "Tenchi In Tokyo" series on the net and I was even further intrigued!. I thought it was so romantic, yet sad, that Tenchi and Sakuya loved eachother so much, yet, in the end, couldn't be together because Sakuya was a shadow of the current antagonist. Thus, I thought this song would be perfect for a dedication to Tenchi and Sakuya!.
Number One (A Tribute To Sakuya)
Anime: "Tenchi In Tokyo"
Song: "The Tide Is High"
Artist: Atomic Kitten
Album: ?
In contrast to my first "Tenchi In Tokyo" video idea, done to "My Immortal", this one is meant to be way more upbeat (lots more happy scenes!) and focus a bit more on Sakuya rather then both Sakuya and Tenchi.
The main idea for this video is to show the main reasons I like Sakuya, how human and sweet she was, and how she was persistent in her pursuit of a relationship with Tenchi without seeming possessive, violent or sexually aggressive like Ryoko.
Kai's Prayer (Please Remember Me)
Anime: "Beyblade" and "Beyblade" V Force
Song: "Dante's Prayer"
Artist: Loreena McKennitt
Album: The Book Of Secrets
Most might think this song way to slow for a character profile for Kai, but I couldn't help thinking of him when I heard it, especially as Loreena McKennitt herself wrote that this piece was inspired by a December train trip across Siberia, also, the song has background vocals by the St Petersburg Winter Choir at both the beginning and end!. This video should focus on Kai (of course!) and his relationships with his teammates and friends, especially Tyson and Wyatt. Lots of footage from episodes 40 to 51 (Russian Tournament) and episodes 56, 67 and 75 (V Force)
Kai's Lullaby (Bayushki Bayu)
Anime: "Beyblade" and "Beyblade" V Force
Song: "Cossack Lullaby"
Artist: ?
Album: ?
This video idea is somewhat similar to "Kai's Prayer", a character profile, as well as a look into his relationships with his friends, particularly Tyson and Wyatt, using mainly footage from episodes 40 to 51 (Russian Tournament) and episodes 56, 67 and 75 (V Force) However, I can picture a few more Beyblading scenes in it.
This is a well known Russian lullaby, and, as such, it may be considered way to slow for a music video about Kai, but it's a little faster then the song I thought of for "Kai's Prayer" at any rate. Besides, I felt its authenticity, and the low, haunting melody, suited him quite well.

Everybody's Fool
Anime: "Kai-Doh-Maru"
Artist: Evanescence
Album:?
I think this is probably the first music video idea created for "Kai-Doh-Maru" so far!. I enjoyed the film, even though it was a bit short and left you hanging, sort of.
This is meant to be a tribute to the antagonist, and, in my opinion, the most interesting character in the movie, Oni Hime. It should focus mainly on her possessive and unrequited feelings towards Kintoki, whom she has always believed to be a male, and her jealousy of Lord Raiko. Note; for the lyrics "Without the mask, where will you hide?" the scene where Oni Hime's masked men attack the headquarters and she is slowly approaching Kintoki while removing her mask could be used, and for "Can't find yourself lost in your lies" it could show the very next scene where Oni Hime sees Kintoki dissolve away thanks to Kintoki's friend's mind tricks would work perfectly!.
Only An Ocean Away
Movie: "Atlantis: The Lost Empire"
Artist: Sarah Brightman
Album: Eden
My very first non-anime music video idea!. The moment I heard this song I knew I wanted to use it for an "Atlantis" music video idea!. It's just so crystalline and ethereal that it fits perfectly!.
I can picture the main focus of this video would be Milo and Kida's relationship, and Kida being chosen by the Heart of Atlantis, how it parallels with the way her mother was taken thousands of years ago...
Sooner Or Later (I Always Get My Man)
Movie: "Atlantis: The Lost Empire"
Artist: Madonna
Album: "Dick Tracy" soundtrack
This is a tribute to Helga Sinclair, my favorite character from "Atlantis: The Lost Empire". Helga was actually modeled partly after the James Bond gals and partly after the nineteen thirties/forties 'femme fatals' so I think Breathless Mahoney's song from "Dick Tracy" suits her perfectly!.
The River And The Highway
Movie: "Pocahontas"
Artist: Pam Tillis
Album: Pam Tillis Greatest Hits
Now, Pocahontas and John Smith aren't my favorite Disney couple, but I couldn't help but think of them the moment I heard this song and saw Pam Tillis's music video on the country music channel!. I've always liked it because it was shot right here in BC Canada where I live!. Pocahontas is the 'river', and John Smith is, of course, the 'highway'...
I Am The Girl Who Will Fight For Your Honor
Movie: "Mulan"
Song: "Glory Of Love"
Artist: Peter Cetera
Album: "The Karate Kid" 2 soundtrack
Mulan is actually my favorite Disney heroine so far, and this song made me think of her and her incredible character growth through the movie, especially since it was featured in "The Karate Kid" 2!.
Here In Heaven
Movie: "All Dogs Go To Heaven"
Song: "Tears In Heaven"
Artist: Eric Clapton
Album: ?
This is probably my saddest idea so far, an "All Dogs Go To Heaven" music video. This idea is mainly a character sketch of the relationship between Charlie and Anne Marie throughout the film. How he saved her life, and how she, in turn, saved his soul.
Also, this idea is meant to be a tribute to Judith Barsi, the voice of Anne Marie, who was killed tragically on July 27, 1988, sixteen months before the movies release. She was only ten years old. You can visit her memorial page at this address http://www.geocities.com/kellycountry20 ... lgirl.html
I was not very impressed with her ideas either but some people here recently have gotten the idea that someone's handed them a license to be a haranguing jerk.
