  I had just completed my first viewing of the series, Ai No Kusabi, and I instantly became inspired to make an amv surrounding its vast amount of subject manner. I also thought that it would be good to make an amv of this nature since Ai No Kusabi isn't too well known, but it deserves much more exposure in the anime comunity as a whole.
  
  So, what song could possbily fit the mellowdramatic, sentimental feeling that I had deep down within my heart? Well, I was browsing my music collection one evening, and stumbled upon Fiona Apple's cover of Sally's Song, from the movie, the Nightmare Before Chirstmas. Her soft vocals, jampacked with emotion and heartache instantly clicked within my mind, and I then immediately printed out the lyrics and began the editing process.
  
  The theme of this amv is rather simplistic, in the fact that I tried to match the lyrics with the footage as I went along. It is centered around Riki and his relationships with two other men; Iason and Guy. I split the amv up into two parts; one focusing around Iason and one focusing around Guy, and then, in the later half of the amv, I brought the two different perspectives together, and wala! Success! At least from my point of view.
  
  This video was edited with Virtual Dub Mod and Windows Movie Maker, since my trial of Sony Vegas is expired, and I have to wait til I get the money to get the whole product. I'm not much of an effects person, so if you are looking for something that I consider merely eye candy, look elsewhere. If you like yaoi, romance, drama, and the overal nature of humanity then you have come to the right place.
  
  Please enjoy my amv, and leave a comment if you wish. ^_^
