Rick Astley - Beautiful Life [Touhou Animation]

I have this thing going on where I want to make as many videos as possible that I post feel like a rick roll.
Twitter/X: x.com/HoxtonTexas
Patreon: / hoxton
KZbin: / @hoxtontexas
There is also the planning of character appearances that made me decide to have the video start from that timestamp, forgive me if you're not cool with it.
This project, along with project bonkers, was made in between the two month period where touhou 19 was announced and later released,
which is why certain characters have not appeared in this video.
The rapid character switching in between every camera shot in the original beautiful life music video is what inspired me to do the same thing to the rick roll anime.
The same trait will also be implemented into most of my future projects, I hope you can enjoy it.

Thank you for introducing me to this song. Love it.

Cool to see that Rick Astley still makes songs! This animation is great!

[@obaniwan]

You have done another flawless job! Touhou fans all over the world should know of your work.

[@HaotoAnimeOnPiano]

0:37, 1:01, 1:32, 1:45, 2:28 These low angle shots made me realize just how many Touhou characters wear pants. 2:19, 2:33 Minamitsu & Urumi too.

[@sanchezeugene9725]

What? People wear clothes?

[@dedoperdedo869]

mike wears too

[@HaotoAnimeOnPiano]

@@dedoperdedo869 No? I think you're mistaking her pose from ZUN's artwork. I've never seen any fanart of her wearing pants in her official design.

[@chuachev]

oh I wasnt done watching the video. I thought the mokou pic was the only one

[@SubPriestPepsi]

I believe Murasa's original UFO artwork was stated to by a skirt, but she does clearly wear pants in her Gouyoku Ibun sprite.

[@Ryoko453]

Great song and vid with a positive message as well: DO NOT SCREW WITH THE TOUHOU FANBASE!

[@jk743]

Top notch animation, ngl. Also speaks to the editing of the original video that it translates this well to animation.

[@francjirachi]

Your animation skills are no joke, these videos are always awesome, thank you for making them

Certified Touhou moment.

[@Maiddd]

it looks like everyone is having fun quite alright! rick astley and touhou girls makes quite a nice contract ngl. neat and smooth work! can't wait to see more touhou rick roll to come.

[@chuachev]

0:37 mokou having pants and not a dress made it so theres not a "suggestive" pic. Epic save

[@J1428753]

*this is legit insane 🎉*

[@ShockedTaiLung]

ANOTHER ONE?!

[@mishy415]

Good work, looks very fluid and dynamic. I liked it very much

[@lynxizz24]

素晴らしい

[@okuu_utsuho]

Now this is a masterpiece. I got rickrolled with a different song by Mr. Astley, but also got rickrolled by Touhou chracters.

[@DeadlyHunterYakuza]

Best animtaion.You've got hands of gold

[@oceyy2763]

touhou fans love this man!!

[@oniisanbaka5681]

This is the first time i hear a Rick Astley song, that is not "Never gonna give you up" also i love this vid

[@bluenightgenso6390]

I refuse to believe the shots viewed from below coincides with 2hus who wear pants/isn't wearing skirt

[@lacien5624]

Yeah the shot order in the original music vid must have been changed around a bit to avoid big frills and bloomers taking up the whole shot.

[@meirintheguard]

nice

[@canalwuachulero]

maravilloso/wonderful

[@K-Agric.A]

2:32　The poster must know a lot about Touhou.

[@puncherinokripperino2500]
