Ok, I’m catching up on all my favorite links, and ran across this at Brickmuppet’s place The Pond. So I’m late (edit: and stupid)… bad me. Very cool my ass, this is taking me past fanboyism to outright gushing. This is just too awesome for words; utterly delightful. And I happened to need a dose of delightful at that moment, which made it even better.
DO. NOT. MISS. THIS. YOUTUBE.
Especially if you;re a classic rock and animé fan. Ah hell, why make you work for it… link below the fold.
Update: Ok, now that I’m over the fanboy-gasm, I notice that the instruments as shown do not synch well with the music. It appears, that despite all the microphones obviously visible, the creators of this clip just took a live performance and overlaid a track from the studio or a prior live performance. Still, it’s pretty damned awesome — especially that they could keep the cadence of the lyrics so close despite the translation.
Is it horribly wrong of me to point out it was at The Pond, as opposed to Brickmuppet’s place?
Er, no. I’m an idiot. And it was late.
