STS: First of all that intro is sick as fuckkkkkkkkkkkkk! You became the master of aesthetic and probably the best guy in the community for it. I really liked the build up and how you used lightning overlay as a lyrical sync for it. Build up for the tournament was absolutely fantastic and I love your use of overlays there. Chorus was the standout part of the video for me, just color grading and overlays were astonishing! Pacing and syncing here were just so well done and honestly an improvement from your older work. Ending aesthetic is probably one of the, if not the prettiest I have seen in a music video. IMO your best work by far, I absolutely enjoyed it and it was a perfect mix of everything. Really enjoyed watching it, time flew by and video ended before I was ready, I am going to watch this more for sure. Just outstanding work!

Stylopz: I ain't feedbacking a Tam Nakano music video.

Okay since it's your birthday I'll make an exception.

Stylopz: Intro was really damn cool with your animation of text and audio choice, it's something new when it comes to your editing and it was very unexpected. Already in the beginning you set the tone of the video and what it was going to be about, I especially liked how you managed to tie lyrical sync with story and keep both of them without them interfering with each other. Outside dive was a fantastic choice for a spot with energy to go into chorus, it just makes everything feel so alive (no pun intended) and ofc I am a sucker for RGB and here it was fantastic. Chorus structure was brilliant, how you focused on moves to give it more energy and differentiate it from verses part while using facial expressions for fast beat parts to not ignore her character so chorus didn't feel shallow, also great use of slow flash so that it breaks up the pace without it feeling too sudden. Standout part in this video for me would be how you managed to tell a story with just facial expressions without any need of explaining it more and it was all so easy to follow WHILE you maintained lyrical sync, that's something I would never be able to do. The entire story was so well structured here and I love how you used choruses to build up and edit her big matches giving them huge meaning, also that pulling down transition was too damn smooth! So ending match, that one felt different to other ones and I suppose that's what you were going for, it felt like a cathartic ending to this entire build up, especially the transition that you used before ending sections to show their history. Ending of course was very emotional and perfect ending to such a beautiful video. I really have no complaints here or any negatives to point it. I said it already but I'll repeat myself, you have been my favorite editor for quite some time and you are by far one of the best editors here and you proved that by making me care about Tam Nakano, that's all I'll say.

Stylopz : This is one of the most amazing MV I've seen. The story is so well told the effects are beautifully done and fit perfectly. I don't even know what to say in negative points. I even had goosebumps watching it, it brought so many memories and so many feelings. This is the kind of level I wanna reach one day. Thank you for this beautiful work I'll watch it way more than once that's for sure !

STS : Awesome MV, I loved all th effects you used and your cuts were so well done it looked stunning. I loved the building in the beginning and how it climbed through the video along with showcasing all her emotions and storys she had until chorus when it sets her for the tournament putting flashbacks with Tam, that was an amazing idea of setting up and I loved how you did it. Amazing job

Simplopz: I love MVs that tell the story that builds up over the years and pays off in the end, and this is exactly what it was. Commited to the story from the beginning to the end, while not neglecting pacing and effects. Clip layout was near perfect, character traits and development was shown with simple clips of her facial expressions, while the chorus was covered by clips of moves, but also facial expressions to keep the story moving. I loved the documentary-style intro as well, it's so simple but it works in MVs like this one. You did the final match exactly how it was supposed to be done, different than everything else and it truly felt like a final obstacle in Tam's rise to greatness. Truly amazing work, it will be an honor to job to you after I beat Storm's jobber ass.

SimpTS: To be honest, you surprised me quite a bit with this video. I always thought you are a good editor, I was just waiting for you to truly break through and go to that next level, and I think you accomplished that with this video. Much like Simplopz, you were using facial expressions and story elements during the slower parts of the song, while the chorus was dominated by moves, and it was the right way to go. Pacing was great and and I could understand the story well, but what was truly outstanding was your aesthetics and overlays, it matched the story that you were trying to tell and it felt like a perfect blend. Your best work so far, and I am looking forward to more of this.

First of all
Y'all are mad
Both dropped heat.
I knew STS was out of this world his MVs are just in a different level.
Like the transitions, the effects, the Pacing, the sync are just ridiculous in a good way.
But I may say I never saw anything from stylopz before.
He is so good.
Maybe one of my new favourites.
The storytelling was just flawless.
The pacing was sick, the audio bits that helped the storytelling i think are one of the strong points for stylopz the little cheeky flashbacks parts was unreal.
Both did a unreal job on the MVs.
Both are unique
Both do an amazing job with their styles.
Me gusta.
Props to both sts and Stylopz for the amazing job

Stylopz: This is great man. As you can clearly guess I'm nowhere near being relevant with Stardom but still I was able to understand at least the main idea of this MV, which shows your storytelling game is decent. I loved the editing, shake+flicker combos looked absolutely sick. I wish you had a different CC, I think it would make me appreciate the video even more but yeah, it's just my opinion. Loved the lyrical syncs as well. Overall an amazing video from an amazing editor, kudos.

Sts: I absolutely loved this one. In my opinion this is one of your best videos. Overlay work is on point as always, you're always creative with overlays and it always impresses me. Editing was also really good, it worked pretty well with the song. I really loved what you did at the bridge part of the song, it's just another example of how creative you can be sometimes. I don't think I have any complaints, great work man.

Stylopz: Man your clips don't just breath they are literally alive (no pun intended with the title of the music video decided by the editor). The intro and ending gave me movie vibes I really liked them, sync, pacing and effects were perfect. I really liked what you did at 3:24 and at 3:54. Amazing work with the lyrics sync too bro. KUDOS!

Sts: Linkin Park 😍

Stylopz: As a Tam fan, it made feel really emotional.
I’ve been following her journey since day one in Stardom, and you’ve told her story in the best way possible.
And you did it without even using anything, just facial expressions which is really impressive.
Great choice of song and perfectly edited!


STS: usually I’m not a huge fan of many effects, by here it was fucking phenomenal.
You’re a master of using the right CC and effects for your edits and this is by far the best one I’ve seen from you.
You made Saya look even better than she already is.
