• Comments: This vid is primarily a character profile of Mikura, the main character in Mezzo. Though there is one sad scene, which has links to the movie Mezzo Forte, the emphasis of the vid is on action with a fun, wink-and-a-nod attitude, much like the series itself.
  Unlike many of my vids, there is no over-arching story to the vid. Instead it's comprised of a series of segments which depict various aspects of Mikura's personality and attitude, from her devil-may-care, acrobatic action scenes, to her mentoring of young Asami.
  The song is a positive, upbeat number from 1975 by Kiki Dee, who is British, though you couldn't tell it from her singing voice, and was the first white woman ever signed by Motown Records, which explains the soulfulness in both her voice and the musical composition. If you like Joss Stone, then I think you'll like "I've Got the Music In Me".
  The song lyrics contain several very specific descriptions of the singer's personality and attitude towards life, so it stands to reason that at least one of them wouldn't fit with Mikura's personality, and indeed we have that with the line "When something gets in my way, I go 'round it." If something gets in Mikura's way, she just blasts her way right through it, and so I went for some ironic humor and picked a scene which involved Mikura, a locked door, and her shotgun. Later on in the vid I went with irony again with the line "Ain't got no trouble in my life," since Mikura does have troubles, though she doesn't let them get her down.
  Oh, and like most of my vids, there are a few clips which contain lip flap, for various reasons. Just know that they are there on purpose, and are definitely not because of sloppy editing.
  So, I hope you enjoy the vid, and please let me know what you think and/or if you have any questions about any segments, preferably in the forum thread, though QC's will work too.
