• Comments: This was a fun little experiment with bringing a show's subtext into full text, in this case, taking the friendship between Natsuki and Miyuki into a full lesbian relationship.
  
  I've wanted to use the song for a while, ever since I heard it on the radio several years ago, but always pictured it as a "girl loves bad boy" song, like the original music video showed. When I went looking for a song to do the video to, it suddenly struck me that the gender of the singer's significant other is never specified, so it could also be interpreted as a girl taking pride in a lesbian partnership over other people's objections.
  
  I'd also been looking for an excuse to make myself sit down and watch YUA for a while, since I owned all four box sets of season 1, but had only watched the first one before getting distracted with some other show. Now I need to watch the other two seasons (which I also own), which I didn't include here because of the major art shift.
  
  This video was entered at Tekkoshocon IX and Anime Boston 2011, but didn't make the finals at either.
