  It's not surprising that I made an AMV with Blinding Lights. The song was absolutely everywhere at the time, you couldn't get away from it. What is surprising, is I was one of the first people to edit with it (or at least, gain moderate popularity with an AMV of it).
  I mulled over what anime to use for a while, but my brain kept coming back to Ai No Kusabi despite how hard I tried to think of something else. It was an anime I'd watched many years prior when I was in my "must consume all of the gay media" stage of life. I wasn't sure I could pull off editing with the anime while keeping things fairly PG, somehow I managed though (a couple parts are a little dicey, but if you'd never seen the anime, you wouldn't know).
  There was a more recent release of Ai No Kusabi, but I didn't like the art style, so I stuck with the original early 90's one. This version fit the aesthetic of the song better anyway.
  There is one scene in this that I reversed and one scene that I sped up slightly. All the other editing is hard cuts and fades.
