I can hear Uki’s “bitch” while editing this lmfao.

Seriously though, Ridin’ is such a catchy song. I don’t know if it’s the beat or the old, fairy-like melody, or the harmony between Lana’s girlish voice and Asap Rocky’s drunken tone that does it– but I found myself just listening to it on repeat over the past few day. Better yet, I discovered it after joining the nijisanji EN fandom and it just so happens to fit with nearly all of my favorite ships there. I don’t mean the actual vtubers of course, just the characters that they represent and how they choose to portray their dynamic with each other. We have Sonny the hard-boiled officer who fell head over heel for the sneaky thief Alban, Luca the chaotic and playful mafia boss whose partner in crime is the serious and elegant novelist Ike, and Fulgur the quiet and brooding cyborg (who is, spoiler alert, not actually a cyborg) struggling get his mind off the beautiful, enigmatic psychic Uki. Like?? Hello?? The potential?? The opposite attracts trope? The complementary designs? The possible connections in lore? Not to mention how their actual voices counterpoint each other? (esp Uki and Fulgur, love love love their voices) That’s some good sht right there, and you know Imma have to do something about it–even if I’m suffering from a really bad cold at the moment. This is also my first time editing a pure “still-pictures” amv, so I apologize in advance for the questionable quality. I obv lack experience, and my body was kind of already dying from the cold lol. Maybe that’s the price to pay for trying to be creative at the wrong time.
