• Comments: Ah, my first Naruto AMV! Took a few months, ne? And it's a SasuSasku tribute! I'm not a hater of the pairing, but I'm not a complete lover, either, especially of what I hear about NaruSaku...how could you, Sakura?! -cough- Anyway, I can go on forever about that. I was thinking of changing my Gaia Online profile theme to Naruto, and since my good friend Saku-Shina-chan [aka Shina-chan aka Sakura Shina!] on there simply loves SasuSaku, I decided to do my theme as that for her. So yes, this video is dedicated to Saku-Shina-chan! -luffluff-
  
  It took me a while to start, though. I couldn't find the right RMVB converter, so I couldn't use the Naruto clips I got, and then when I finally found one, I couldn't figure out the music to use. Sasuke's and Sakura's relationship is sorta hard to define-- it's obvious Sakura loves Sasuke, but Sasuke...I believe he does have some feelings towards her, but he can't commit to them because of the whole thing with his brother, so he acts like he doesn't care about her at all. Episode 109, anyone?
  
  But as I was searching through my iTunes, I came across Utada Hikaru's 'Final Distance'. The music was beautiful yet had sorrow intertwined with it, and one look at the lyrics told me I found just the right song. Saying that, the song, and the AMV, is from Sakura's POV, as expected. I think it turned out pretty good, save for some of the camera actions the footage uses sometimes...I'd freeze it so that it's a still picture, like I did for some scenes, but then I've had to fix this video so much for the time lag in the music when using WMM that I can live with it for now. Maybe later I'll revamp it.
  
  There are a few scenes with them as a group, and I felt that was needed, especially for the line where it was 'yokusoku doori janai kedo trust me' [ It's not as I promised, but trust me ]. Sakura had mentioned once the four of them as a group, and how they'd have fun and be together and such. Or rather, she was referring to herself personally, but I broadened it as I felt she meant that as well. So, since everything's not going as she promised, with them happy together, I put the image of them as a group. The other times were for the same effect as well. They are, after all, a group, he's seen mostly happy when they're together as a group...the group's important, 'kay? No worries, it's still about SasuSaku even in the group.
  
  Anyhow, if you haven't seen until Episode 136 of Naruto, I suggest you don't watch this-- spoilers could be abound for you. The title, 'Aru issho ni iru' means 'I need to be with you' in English, and yes, it is an English line in the song. Hope the AMV's all right, especially for Saku-Shina-chan! [ Though no pressure to like it, honestly, Shina-chan! ]
  
  'Final Distance' by Utada Hikaru Translation
  
  I'm anxious but I can't say anything
  I'm tired of swimming; even you've become silent
  
  I want to see you, but I can't; an invisible wave pushes us apart
  Again, just a little more distance
  
  Try not to stop it, keep it going baby
  If you don't feel the same then tell me
  It's my philosophy not to force things but
  It's all right to try a little
  
  I wanna be with you now
  Let's shorten the distance between the two of us
  If we start now, we can still make it on time
  We can start over
  I don't want to be alone
  
  I wanna be with you
  Someday even this distance
  We'll be able to embrace
  We can start sooner
  After all, I wanna be with you
  
  You, who gets hurt with a single word
  taught me what loneliness is
  
  When you can't protect me, keep on trying, baby
  It's not as I promised, but trust me
  It's my philosophy not to force things but
  I would do it for you
  
  I wanna be with you now
  Look at our distance between the two of us
  If we start now, we can still make it on time
  We can start over
  I want to tell you with words
  
  I wanna be with you now
  One day, even the distance
  I'll be able to embrace it
  We should stay together
  After all, I need to be with you
