Comments: This amv should somewhat satisfy the complaints I got for the excessive stillframes in my last video. I'm not sure the beat and scenes are fast enough to be counted as action, but sports isn't exactly an option. This, in case the title didn't give it away, is a video about the 'Golden Pair,' meaning Oishi & Eiji, so possible shonen ai hints in this. Except for the beginning, it pretty much caps scenes in order through the series, touching on some of their games, and their practice sessions. I'm not fluent in Japanese, so I mostly tried to match the sounds rather than the meaning of the lyrics, and I did work to keep the flow of the scenes in pace with the music. I find it's difficult to find a song fast enough for the 'action - game' scenes but not too fast since they tend to do a lot of slow motion shots that are hard to speed up for a video. I didn't bother with editing out the moving lips this time since it would definitely have detracted from the speed of the shots. Over all I think it turned out all right.
