• Comments: This song had been in my head for awhile as an AMV possibility, despite it being quiet, and thus not likely everyone's favorite. When Copeland released their first CD, I picked it up and was surprised to hear a song like this as the first track. (anyone who has heard any of their others songs will notice how unique this song is for them) It's not a long song, only a little over two minutes, so I was unsure of how a romanace/drama video would turn out. To me, it seems difficult to make a dramatic video with a short song, since you don't have as much time to convey the emotions in the anime. I struggled for months with what anime to use for this one. ^_^
  
  Finally, a friend showed me Ai Yori Aoshi, and I fell in love with it. The two just clicked in my mind, which is always how it happens I guess. I had only seen a couple episodes before I set out to make this video, so with a limited amount of the anime to work with, I was able to come up with ideas a bit faster in my head. I knew pretty much what I wanted the video to be, so it was just a matter of taking the time to sit down and work on it. Took me about 2 days of editing: one to make the video, and one a week later to make revisions. Thanks to my friends in OAS who helped with some suggestions that brought this video from its first form into the finished product.
  
  About the anime: I only used footage from the first three episodes here, so there really shouldn't be any spoilers. I'm sure those who have seen some of Ai Yori Aoshi will get more out of it than those who haven't, but at the same time, I always want it to inspire some of you romantics like me to take a look at the series. ^_^

  UPDATE 15.02.04: this video has been taken offline to make room for my new amvs which are of higher quality. (local download still available until I remaster this amv)
