Classification shoujo
Synopsis Collection of short, symbolic films that are mixed with fantasy and eroticism backed by music. Features superstar Koji Nanjou and soccer star Takuto Izumi from Zetsuai 1989. (KEM)
Review This is the follow-up video to ZETSU AI 1989. At first glance it might seem to be just a music video, as there's no obvious story. However, the sequences are scenes from the BAD BLOOD and BRONZE manga.
In the manga, Koji crashes his motorbike and is badly injured. He loses his voice. Meanwhile Koji's family exert various pressures on Takuto and his guardian, Hirauchi, to get Koji out of hiding and back to his 'duties' in the family business. The video has some wonderful art sequences in it and the music is pleasant.

Incredible anime with excellent music. Great use of storytelling techniques and one of the most interesting adaptations of manga images I have ever seen. (KEM)
