Summary: Sai and go.

This is a really distinctive vid, making use of coloured manga pages and all sorts of nifty effects I can't name. It's very tastefully done, and is something rather special. It has the feel of an opening theme.

Beautiful Liar

[onkoona]

I've added this one because it's interesting rather than good. The vid maker really had too little footage to work with, making them having to re-use the same footage and get some other footage in that actually distracts from the plot. But none the less, it's a good try for this pairing.

I just came across this one, and I rather like it. The song's translated in the uploader's comments - not very fluently, but in the end I think it's quite a fitting song. And pretty.

Name of AMV: If We Have a Game
Song: ...umm, the song's name is shown in the end of the vid, but I can't read Chinese. ^^; (To be exact, apparently it's in Cantonese.)

Summary: Hikaru and Sai, and how it ended
Warnings: spoilers from ep 60

[dawntodusk]

Hurr, I can't speak Cantonese but the pinyin for the Chinese would be "jia ru zhen de zai you yue hui", which kind of translates to "if we can really meet once more". At least this is how I would translate it because "date" (as the uploader has translated) doesn't really seem to fit the context that I'm looking at XD

[tuuli-chan.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Heh, I do like your translation more, too. ^^

It's the theme song for an old HK drama called "My Date With a Vampire 2"

I just came across this while searching for the Hokuto Cup ED lol. It doesn't really impress at first, but if you can get past the first 30 secs, it's wow. Also it brings back memories of me crying myself blind (figuratively)
