Axel and Roxas - Makes Me Wanna Pray

*SPOILERS*
This vid contains Kingdom Hearts 2 and Re:COM spoilers, and clips from Re:COM and Final Mix.

It's AkuRoku day! (8/13...yes, I know, I'm obsessed...)
You know what that means... XD

Yep, a new Axel and Roxas vid =D

Well, the story of this vid is of Axel wanting to tell Roxas how he feels about him, and how he's changed his life. How does he do it? Through song, of course ;D He gets the rest of the Organization (who have known all along, but have pretended not to know... :/ ) to back him up.
And so, the Organization XIII Choir was formed ;D
Demyx, being as musically-inclined as he is, is the conductor/leader of the choir. Most of the Org members are...well, reluctant.
(Xigbar: "WHAT do you want me to sing?!")
Except for Marluxia, who jumps on board right away (Why? Maybe he likes queer sing-alongs...[sorry, bad joke; I came up with it while making this... :/ ]).
Demyx scolds them and tries to get them to cooperate. And they do...sort of.
Even Xemnas joins in the chorus (once Saix was in, he was soon to follow...)!
Although letting Saix join the choir may have been a mistake...in the third-to-last sync with him, it looks like he's muttering some sort of incantation 8-/

So...yeah, there are kind of two stories going on at once here, the main one being Axel telling Roxas how he feels, and the secondary one being of Demyx and the Org. XIII choir singing along XD (There are a lot of cute Demyx moments here, so the Demyx/AkuDemy fangirls should be pleased ^_^)

I love this song, it's so happy and fun (hard to be depressed when you're listening to this one), and I think it fits AkuRoku pretty well.
Just to get this out of the way: YES, I'm completely aware of how wrong it is to have Axel lip-sync to the lyric "Could it be a new reflection of a woman complete?" :/ But that's the ONLY part of the song that doesn't fit, and I wasn't going to throw it out just for that ;) I tried to cut out the "wo" part of the word (lol), but it ended up sounding weird, so I left it as-is. Feel free to laugh, I think this vid's pretty funny myself (I can't tell you how many times I burst out laughing when I was lip-synching the different Org. members...especially Vexen for some reason, LMAO).

I wanted this to be a CELEBRATION of AkuRoku, not a tribute. Tributes tend to be sad, and I think the Axel and Roxas relationship, friendship or etc., is something to be celebrated, not mourned ^_^
This may be a bit over the top...but hey, this is my first AkuRoku day (this time last year I didn't even know that there was a name for the Axel and Roxas relationship/pairing), I had to go ALL OUT =D

This was really fun to make, in fact, I was kind of sad when I finished it :( The lip-synching the hardest and the most fun part at the same time. Making various Org. members sing "Pray, PRAAAY!!!" is just as fun as it looks ;D (and as hard...)

Speaking of that, don't be weirded out by the title, this isn't really a gospel song. It's just about how Roxas gave Axel hope ^_^

Geez, I've got kind of a theme here, don't I? What with the videos that have Axel praying in some way...First with Axel's Prayer, then Axel and Larxene's Tainted Love ("You think love is to pray, but I'm sorry, I don't pray that way"), and now this, and there are more in the works...I feel like I should open some sort of Church of Axel...
*pompous preacher voice*
YES, WE BELIEVE IN THE SECOND COMING OF AXEL!!!

*reverts*
Uh...that was random...sorry about that...
*walks away, hanging head in embarrassment*

The video clips are from KH-Vids.net and KHinsider.com, and the song is "Makes Me Wanna Pray" by Christina Aguilera, feat. Steve Winwood (according to the CD booklet, he's playing the piano and the Hammond B-3).

Oh, and the credits are on a piece of my own fanart =) (hand-drawn with pencils, scanned, and filled in with Paint)
And the fanart at the very end is NOT mine. I think I found it on photobucket...

I would so join!!!! But im already a part of the International Church of Reno(tm) lead by Reverend Zack(tm)<--Don't steal without permission or I will hunt you down and hurt you.

[brilliantbroonette]

I say you start the church of Axel. My sister and I would so join, as would a dozen or so of our friends, so we've got a pretty good congregation going here.

On a completely different note, WOOT, DEMYX.

[Kurotorachan]

lmao this is awesome X'D

[Lilyanne63]

*logs in to comment* AKUROKU IS LOVE! *snuzzles*

I just wanted to let you know that I love you. And if you make a Church of Axel, I will totally be there.

Also, Demyx ftw. The lip synching was good, and seeing the Orgy XIII sing is always fun stuff. Good job :) *watches video more*
