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.

broke: UGH Hibiya Amamiya in Kagepro is SO WEIRD AND GROSS and so is Hiyori Asahina like she was SUCH A BITCH how could anyone POSSIBLY LIKE EITHER ONE -----
WOKE: so it's definitely not Hibiya the CHARACTERS's fault that he was stuck with Jin the WRITER giving him the personality that he did and that needs to be RECOGNIZED MORE because early 2k12 era Jin basically confirmed he wanted to "DESTROY THE FANS' EXPECTATIONS" specifically re: Hibiya, with Hiyori he didn't want to make her the heroine at start because she would have BEEN TOO MUCH FOR THE REST OF THE CAST AND STORY TO HANDLE IN THE GOOD WAY, SHE BASICALLY WOULD HAVE DRIVEN THE ENTIRE STORY WITH HER ENERGY LEVEL, and that is definitely NOT either HIYORI ASAHINA'S fault NOR HIBIYA AMAMIYA'S, so you should MAYBE let them off the hook a little bit, OK,,,,, (by the way this is also NOT an invitation to trash on Jin because the guy tries his best, literally became HOMELESS and yet KEPT TRYING FOR US, does LIVE SHOWS at LIBRARIES for us so like maybe let up on HIM a bit too ,,,,,,, HE BECAME GODDAMN HOMELESS FOR US please leave Jin and his characters alone and instead maybe RECOGNIZE THEIR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENTS, ALSO THE TWO ARE STILL *YOUNG* SO LIKE,,,,, CHILL)
