#('I love KageDaze' circa 2012 me said)

[koushirouizumi]

(My) Digimon Adventure amv [Taishiro AU] x KageDaze (top right) comparing ( x my older amv parody / comparisons of top right using the series’ later anime [top left] + some music video scenes towards end) [ lyrics were included here ! ] (+ it’s better if you fullscreen) ( this is technically not another amv edit, more just comparing how I arranged it ) ( you might see what’s inspiring me in the fic in here, at quite a few points ) ( ... not necessarily all of them though ) ( but a bit ) ( maybe )

[ warning: KageDaze spoilers especially for anime episode 04 are in here !! ] [ it’s kind of the concept for the overall series too though ... the scenes were compiled in a slightly different order in my amv there (top left) but yeah they eventually lead to the similar resulting scenes shown in anime ] [ and some implied things from the novels like boy on the top left who technically isn’t who I was comparing exactly to right and bottom screens er] [you’ll see] [ ok I promise it’s not as bad for Koushiro as top left, ok, that’s different ]

“ making otp parody amvs using limited amounts of stock footage is fun ”

“ comparing literally every scene you can in the other series ? even more fun ”

[disclaimer: boy on the top right does not exactly happen same in anime] [disclaimer: on the top left, major spoilers re: a major character though if you’re at least semi-aware of the cast by now he may not quite be such, but...] [ disclaimer: it’s a timeloops series for a reason, ok, ] [disclaimer: uhhh there’s kind of some blood and gore and impalements in the top 2 i’m sorry I swear i’m still not here for that aspect of it I like the story ok]

Kagerou Days (Nico Nico 50 person Chorus ver.) [2011] + Mekakucity Actors 04 [2014] + very brief bits of Wannyanpuu’s Kagerou Days PV [2011], Children Record [2012], Outer Science [2013], Otsukimi Recital [2013]

Mekakucity Actors #04 amv by me, originally posted not long after MCA #04 first aired (2014 Kagepro fandom era)

IN CASE YOU ARE STILL CONFUSED BY MCA #04′S SEQUENCE OF EVENTS FOR THE “KAGEROU DAZE” SONG PLS COMPARE THESE MCA #04 COMPARISONS SHOTS TO WANNYANPUU’S OLD FANMADE PV [2011] AND YOU’LL HOPEFULLY? UNDERSTAND THE POSSIBLE / POTENTIAL THEMES/CONCEPTS A LOT BETTER Wannyanpuu’s version is technically non-canon but THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF COMPARISONS TO BE HAD OK and WHO KNOWS how much of Wannyanpuu’s original ideas Jin chose to incorporate into the series it’s not like Wannyanpuu designed the short haired Hiyori first you know

FEEL FREE to use this for COMPARISONS / ANALYSIS / THEORIES TOO BC I LOVE KAGEDAZE + ORIGINAL!HIBIYA + HIYORI THEORIES OK

... ... ALSO CAN WE LIKE PLS RECOGNIZE HIBIYA + HIYORI’S CHARACTER DEVELOPMENTS BOTH AS INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERS AND WITH EACH OTHER + OTHERS AND GIVE BOTH OF THEM MORE LOVE / PROTECT THEM BOTH

I’M VERY TIRED WHENEVER I SEE HIYO OR HIBI HATE NEITHER DESERVE IT TY

I MEAN PLS JUST WATCH THE AMV AND/OR REWATCH MCA #04 BC I KNOW A LOT OF YOU ALL PROBABLY JUST HAVEN’T WATCHED MCA 04 OR KAGEROU DAZE’S ORIGINAL PV BY SIDU SINCE 2012-2014 IT’S OK WE CAN FORGET OVER TIME BUT SERIOUSLY

(ALL THAT SAID aha my original amv is below!!)

please open the links on Youtube to expand the video size if preferred! * I did kind of insert some original theories of mine back then that maybe didn’t / won’t / or haven’t become canon yet (for example the Kano scene - that turned out to be Novels Route only - though I actually never thought it was only him acting as the cat anyhow but yeah) and also re: Saeru (Clearing Eyes) but still I TRIED with comparisons overall ok * there was ONE scene I edited where I flipped it to mirror Hiyori during the second verse (second repeat of “I really hate summer”) because it was only animated once but yeah

* the interlude voice-acting of Wannyanpuu’s version was done in the 50 Person Chorus NicoNico version and also isn’t canon BUT it can be counted as Japanese fandom’s interpretations circa 2011

Lyrics under cut!

On August 15th, 12:30 in the afternoon, The weather was incredibly nice And amidst the sickening rays of the dazzling sun I spoke with you, for I had nothing else to do "Well, y’know, I kind of hate summer", You boldly murmured while petting a cat Ah, you pursued that cat as it ran away from you And what jumped out Was the traffic light that changed to a glaring red Suddenly, a truck came out of nowhere and struck you as you screamed Your scent, now mingled with sprayed blood, choked me In the haze of lies, the haze of heat laughed, "This is all real!" With that, like a cricket’s sound being disturbed, the light blue of summer darkened away I woke up upon my bed to the sound of a ticking clock What time is it now? On August 14th, sometime past 12 in the morning I recalled the sound of an awfully annoying cricket But, y’know, it’s a little strange. Yesterday, in a dream, I saw us walking in this same exact park "Why don’t we go home now?" The second you stepped off the pathway, everyone surrounding us Turned their heads up to the sky and opened their mouths From the sky, down dropped an iron pole That pierced your body straight through The sound of wind-chimes and your ripping screams filled the spaces between the park trees In this unnatural scene, The shimmering heat laughed, "This is the real thing!" As my vision blurred away, I glanced at your profile, and thought I saw you smiling Countless times have had me black out In the laughing heat like this

This cycle has repeated for decade              s

I realized that a long time ago

In this kind of clichéd story, There must only be one ending. Beyond this repeating summer day, it has to exist. Suddenly, I pushed you aside and jumped into the street; At that moment, the truck slammed into me Your eyes and my twisted body were like hazy reflections of the blood that sprayed everywhere If that praiseful heat haze laughed, “Serves you right!” again Then this would be what you’d call a normal summer day. But all of that ended today. On August 14th, a girl awoke upon her bed And she said, "I failed this time, too..." as she cradled a single cat.
