My Life In Fandom: Rick Astley's Residuals Get Another Boost

Hobbyists making music videos out of their favorite anime films or series is nothing new. As with most creative endeavors, many of them are middling and few of them truly stand out. Today I present one that does stand out for all the right reasons: pairing of music with visuals, timing thereof for maximum effect, and the synergy thereof promoting both media to each others' audiences. Readers, I present an AMV for Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up set to Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.

Mr. Astley does not worry about paying his bills for the rest of his life thanks to goofy little things like this, as the now-ancient Rickroll meme proved quite conclusively years ago. This video is just going to make certain that his estate will have evergreen revenue, because that song and this romantic comedy are too good not to cross-promote in such a fashion.

And there's your goofy little thing for Sunday.
