Amo's AMVs
Amo-chan's
Death Note AMVs
Amo is amazingly talented
at making AMVs. She really is. I personally am a real sucker for well-made
AMVs, and I used to search and search for good ones, which are very
hard to come by. I knew her for a while before she bothered to mention
to me that she made them, and the first of hers I saw was Yokata.
I was astonished.
It was amazingly good. The timing, the effects, it really got me to
the point of tears. Since then, I've seen many other AMVs she made, including
several award-winners, and, truly, I've loved every one. She's made some
amazing ones for Death Note, which I've included below as downloadable
.avi files (I find that Youtube
takes away from the quality and it'd be such a shame, so I've actually
upped them to this site for download).
I totally don't care if I sound like the Amo spokesperson or something
because she really is that talented. In fact, I'm really toning
down the praise here compared with how I actually feel.
1. The White
Guy (Pretty Fly for a White Guy by the Offspring - I think it
takes some serious talent to make an AMV this epic about freaking
Near)
2. Wammy's House
(Cheers theme)
3. Waiting for
Death (In the Shadows
by Rasmus)
4. Bittersweet
(If you were Here by the Thompson Twins - this was a yaoi-implied
L x Light AMV I requested, and I think she did an incredible job)
5. What a Tangled
Web we Weave (Angels by Within Temptation)
6. Strangers (Strangers
in the Night by Frank Sinatra; L x Light)
7. L x Light
(Always on my Mind by Pet Shop Boys; this one's really one-of-a-kind
and is based on yaoi doujins. It's ridiculous how hard I fell in love with
this)
8. Notice me (Creep
by Radiohead; L x Light; as a big Radiohead fan, I absolutely loved this
one, as well)
9. Hide and Seek
(Augen Auf by Oomph)
10. Calm and
Cold Soul (Welcome to My World by Colony 5)
11. Sexy Lighto
(Sexy Sadie by the Beatles; another one I requested, and, God, it's
fucking adorable, it just fits him so well)
12. Turn Around
(Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler; you absolutely, absolutely
have to see this. Fucking gorgeous)
13. What I want (You
Make My Dreams Come True by Hall and Oates)
14. Where You'll Find Me
(The Space Between by Dave Matthews Band)
15. You are the one
(Here in your Arms by Hellogoodbye; after I saw Amo's other AMV
to this song, I really wanted her to make something with L and Light doujins
for this; and this is just beautiful)
16. Reichenbach
Falls (Lux Aeterna by Clint Mansell; "...somewhat based
on a story by Loyal Subject called 221B Baker Street. Lots of non-lying
cake to anyone who knows how I got the title.")
17. Decisions...Decisions
(I Can't Decide by the Scissor Sisters; this song was practically
written for L and Light)
18. Twists
of Fate (Little Wonders by Rob Thomas; oh, God. If you somehow
managed by some bizarre act of miracle not to have fallen in love with
L yet....this will just....oh you just have to watch this)
19. Confined
Love (Strange Currencies by REM; this MMV....this is just...pure....pure...amazing,
gorgeous, beautiful love...it just...it melted me to bits....)
20. Cumshots for Kelly (Relax by Frankie goes to Hollywood; at last this is up...
a slideshow of hot, hot LxLight cumshot images Amo was kind enough to put together for me, Kelly. Thank you,
Hachi, for the idea and the opening image!)
21. Put your Back on Me (Read my Mind by The Killers (quite the
appropriate band name); another perfect song for L and Light, and another gorgeous, powerful AMV).
22.Kelly's OTP (Take a Chance on Me by Erasure; You saw it from Amo first, folks! I highly doubt
this has ever been attempted before as an AMV- the hottest conceivable Death Note pairing, you know you've all been wanting it as badly as Light has.
Step aside, L; this one's Ryuk x Light).
Amo is also part of a group that makes DN Abridged episodes. There really
isn't much yaoi in those, however, so, single-handedly, she went ahead
and abridged a few scenes from the anime into what came later to be known
as Yaoi Note.These short videos are very funny and I strongly
recommend you watch them.

For those interested, here are some incredible AMVs she made for other

Day by the Polyphonic Spree; Princess Princess)
11. Not me (Someday
You will be Loved by Death Cab for Cutie; Vampire Knight)
12.Greener Pastures (Go West by the Pet Shop Boys; Ouran, Death Note, D.N.Angel, Princess Princess, Sukisho;
fuck me, she's done it again. This vid is pure magic, and I'm not just saying that because of the part where L yells I love you Britishly to Light.)
13.I Have to Find You
(Monsoon by Tokio Hotel; Toward the Terra; this one's total hotness, beautiful job editing the live EMA performance with the anime).
14. New! This is Ourselves
(Pressure by Queen and David Bowie; Gravitation; BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS, AMAZING, PERFECT, ASTOUNDING, this is absolutely one of the best AMVs I've
ever seen, and it's not even Death Note. This is just pure, pure sweet, magical, innocent love, the song is just so perfect here!)
