I have longed to do a Nobuta wo Produce OPV for as long as I can remember, but I could never find befitting songs for it. In the end I found two and edited them together…

First Skit: Afroman
This should be crystal. Anyone who has seen Nobuta wo Produce will match Akira with that really doped up behaviour. The music itself is pretty slow and therefor difficult to handle without getting boring. I’ve tried to get around that by using screensplits; which was a first time edit for me. It turned out well. The song itself is very suitable up until a certain point lyric-wise, so that’s why it’s cut at about 1:16. It continues with comments about loss of job, etc. Something that is not associated with Akira.
Second skit: You ain’t seen nothing yet
What made Akira like he is? Shuuuuuuuuji-kun!
I actually picked the song by Bachman because as soon as the chorus started in a blink of an eye it was Shuuji’s “Bye Bye Bicycle” rolling in my head.
I didn’t really intend to make a Shuuji x Akira video but while searching for the perfect scene to put in between these “Bye Bye Bicycles” Akira just pulled the right face. And who can really resist pasting scenes like these together:
All in all, I had a mighty good time editing. The last screen as usual, is the editor’s window. I’ve used about 6 layers at it’s peak points.
