Rick Astley - Together Forever [Animated Music Video]

My two brain cells thought it was a good idea to edit the music video like this.

This video, along with project beautiful life, were two projects that were made between the two month period of when touhou 19 was announced, and when touhou 19 was released.
I was in quite a hurry making these two projects, because I was still making the Anime Rick Roll during this time.
It was poor planning on my part, for only repeating the very short dance cuts instead of everything else.
I wasn't able to salvage it, and the outcome was not what I had hoped, but I still wanted to post it.
Despite its many flaws, I hope you can still enjoy this video.

Loved how you included characters from the official manga works Amazing work as always

[@brezzybee9559]

The sync is really good

[@Pudding404]

This is so good it took me a minute to realize it wasn't motion captured. And all while getting pretty much all the 2hus in it.

[@Jakublowicz]

banger and best game ever combined into one.

[@mintyou8348]

Thank you Rick Astley, for bringing everyone in Gensokyo a peace, even for a while. And thank you for this absolute amazing animation.

[@athy8763]

[@russayooo]

Idk why im so happy seeing these type of animations 😂

[@GutterBallStudios]

Thank you for making this.

[@panickal]

Based

[@spaghettiking7312]

This is of a higher nature of human consciousness. I wasn't aware humanity was on the level yet to create such art.

[@kirbybulborb]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@CirnoFriends]

masterpiece

[@barneyjuniorYT]

Touhou movie ending dance scene. This is my new favorite youtube video

[@Nights_Cavalry97]

This is what KZbin was made for. Peak Cinema

[@Floppa-And-Cinro]

Was waiting for it

[@Bibi_XXVII]

Woah

[@Post-ModernCzechoslovakianWar]

Man, this is so great. An insane amount of work! I can't wait till Rick Astley officially becomes a touhou.

[@dakotabless4800]

The next one must be Giving Up on Love so the Trilogy of Rickroll can be completed

[@maxjpz]

That or the new-ish sequel. It's happier at least.

[@hafizhaekal1352]

PEAK TOUHOU VIDEO

[@francjirachi]

peak cinema as always, also really like this rick astley song. Great job! :D

[@Smugen]

you may see it as flawed. I see it as charming and beatiful

[@mr.tremolomeasure9290]

Well, I have a few things to say. First of all, I’m surprised by how smooth this animation is. Also, great choice of characters! I would have loved to see Ellen from Touhou 3 alongside Kana, but still, it's a good selection. The second thing I want to mention is that, aside from the memes, I really love this song. It reminds me of my childhood when they used to play this music video on VH1 and MuchMusic (you know, TV channels). I used to sing along a lot. It’s true that “Never Gonna Give You Up” is a great song and all, but I love this one for the reason I just mentioned. Watching the video again even brought a tear of happiness to my eye. Greetings from Argentina!

[@Clovalei]

You should totally recreate the What is Love MV exactly like this.

[@sheepcommander_]

LESGOOO

[@thelawsonman]

[@bm142_m]

[@CrazyFredy_0]

[@danteshi]

[@The_Hanged-Man]

This is Touhou peak. I swear this will still be talked about in years to come.

[@Mio_Naganohara536]

This is a beautiful piece of animation it’s perfect:D

[@nchmbzhvchvv]

[@pastelguro]
