I think Ryuki is undoubtedly one of the best Kamen Rider series, and the love I have for it made me create many things for it: including in this case AMVs ! Like, it was with my ICE MY LIFE AMV that I got serious about making this type of videos again! So I hope these videos transmit both, my love for Ryuki [Thanks Miss Yasuko Kobayashi!] and the songs used!

Original upload date: SEPT. 4, 2023
My most watched Ryuki AMV with an astonishing count of 29.851 views as of JULY 23, 2026!! The power of the one and only Asakura Takeshi with an amazing rock track!
D'ERLANGER has those old-school rock vibes with Tetsu's rhytmic percussion, SEELA's mysterious bass, CIPHER's dirty riffs & Kyo's gruff voice that certainly fit Asakura's rather yakuza-esque type of wild antagonist. Alongside his two favorite riders to pester--Kitaoka, the lawyer he's obsessed with since he fumbled his defense and Shinji, our sweet if rather naive protagonist that clashes with Asakura's violent worldview. Please enjoy my rather choppy vision, I wish I had timed some scenes better, but oh well!
ICE MY LIFE [KUROYUME]
Original upload date: JAN. 28, 2022
My very first AMV with a song from my RenShinji playlist...! If I had to pinpoint the exact moment I started to get pumped-up about amvs all over again, it would certainly be when I was making this video. With a fan-favorite 黒夢 song, I pictured NicoNicoDouga's old MADs with no flashy effects as I made this one.
I wanted to capture their push-and-pull relationship, with a focus on Ren's rather complicated feelings towards Shinji: His inaction, repression and uncertainty tied in with the freezing imagery with lyrics such as
Tírame al fondo del mar [Francisco Victoria]

This one is such a classic to me. It was my first amv using clipchamp! I hate to see Shinji suffer, but I love that his suffering is the cause for Ren's dilemmas. This is another song from my Renshinji playlist, it plays a bit into the loop aspect of their relationship and the rider war. And also Shinji's dissapointed-worried stare that mimics Eri's same glances directed at Ren... Eri and Shinji are quite similar, so of course I had to include a song that talks about old wounds heh... Cue Francisco singing

冬東京-Fuyu Tokyo- [LAREINE]

My very first amv that got locked out of yt so I uploaded it on tumblr instead LOL! Shorter than my other videos considering Clipchamp was crashing like crazy when I made this one.... I sense some kind of pattern with my video editors packing it up when I try to make tezushin amvs.... Anyway, I had to cut it short and it was a revenge against my first tezushin amv that had aspect-ratio problems, so I got a little more adventurous with the effects in this one! Please enjoy before it gets taken down or something orz...

This was entirely made as a joke haha, I aspire to introduce people to both south american and japanese artists I like and it seems Kamen Rider is my medium lol
Love Again [Cascada]
Original upload date: DEC. 8, 2021
At first I only made AMVs with Cascada songs, to keep the old traditions of amv making haha, so obviously this extended to my first serious Ryuki AMV. I also wanted to try more old-school video coloring and the result was this! I didn't want to repeat episodes/clips from my ICE MY LIFE amv soooo I digged into Inoue's vision of renshinji for this one... I might have my reservations about his depictions of Ryuki, but that man sure loves his renshinji...! Sadly, I had no RAWs of the Rider Time special...
BELIEVE [LUNA SEA]
Original upload date: MAY 22, 2023
This one irks me, mostly because I struggled with multiple versions of this AMV in at least 3 different video-editing software and during the final export the aspect ratio decided it was going to be a square!!! I can't even remember the old editor I used before it decided to charge a subscription for videos that lasted more than 2 minutes...tsk tsk. Anyway, not much to say besides I LOVE BELIEVE! It's kinda hopeful in its depiction of a love so deep it hurts, and upbeat too! As for the video itself, I wanted to bring attention to the paralells between Shinji and Yuichi, specially appearance wise. Just like with Eri, I don't think it was unintentional...
Wouldn't it be good [Cascada]
Original upload date: DEC. 10, 2021
Another one of my first AMVs! This was made for the KitaGoro lovers out there [ehem: My girlfriend]. With a classic Cascada song at that! I kinda hate the fade-transitions now but ah well...
