Dearie me, where to start? Our story begins back in Spring of 2008. I was listening to Queen's "Seven Seas of Rhye" and I said, "What on earth are they saying?" I looked up the lyrics and much to my... insanity, we'll say - the lyrics seemed to fit Death Note... a little too well. (Methinks the creator of the show may have been listening to Queen while writing).
And thus began the longest video project I've ever done. I didn't want this to just be a quick video for the fun of it (like most of mine videos). I wanted this video to be taken seriously, to be remembered, and even to win prizes at conventions. I did planning, a lot of planning. I made a beta version (an offline edit using clips from the YouTube. As can be guessed, quality sucked, but it let me get a good idea of where I wanted to go). I spent my Christmas money to buy Adobe Premiere. The song came from the CD, and when we had the money, we bought the box sets of Death Note. I used the DVD Decrypter to rip the footage. I have done everything that the Org has ever complained at me to do. So have at you!
Now that we've gotten production out of the way, let us talk about the video itself. The song was written by Freddie Mercury (the lead singer of Queen) about a story that he made up as a kid. But as you'll notice, the lyrics fits Light Yagami very well. It's a song about a god come to claim his kingdom.
I'd also like to give special thanks to UMG for use of their music. You guys are the best.
So, if you have no idea what the lyrics are, here they are. Enjoy:
Fear me you lords and lady preachers
I descend upon your earth from the skies
I command your very souls, you unbelievers
Bring before me what is mine
The Seven Seas of Rhye
Can you hear me you peers and privy counselors?
I stand before you naked to the eyes
I will destroy any man who dares abuse my trust
I swear that you'll be mine
The Seven Seas of Rhye
Sister
I live and lie for you
Mister
Do and I'll die
You are mine
I possess you
Belong to you forever
Ever, ever, ever!
Storm the master marathon, I'll fly through
By flash and thunder, fire,
I'll survive (I'll survive, I'll survive)
Then I'll defy the laws of nature
And come out alive
THEN I'LL GET YOU!
Begone with you, you shod and shady senators
Give out the good, leave out the bad evil cries
I challenge the mighty Titan and his troubadours
And with a smile
I'll take you to the Seven Seas of Rhye
(I do like to be beside the seaside...)
(I do like to be beside the sea...)
(I do like to be beside the seaside...)
(I do like to be beside the sea...)
(Jolly off beside the sea...)
(Jolly off beside the sea...)

Kira doesn't exist. What is there now... Kiraism??? That's just sad. Kira is so not God.

Y-e-a-h. I know that. That's just the name of the video, due to the song content. It's sad that you don't know that.

Oh! Sorry. My mistake. It's just that people actually do believe that he is God. And THAT is sad.

I just hope I never meet one. I'd have to seriously take few sidesteps away from them at that point. "Y-e-a-h.... Kira is god..... I'm just... gonna go.... that way.... now...." *SCRAM!!!!!!"
