All right... Vanessa. Extra Stage (i think) to IIDX Gold. What the heck is up with the video? Is there some kind of meaning that I'm missing?
Also, (and this could be just crappy YouTube quality...or me) does anyone else notice the guy in the portrait's expression change only slightly from neutral to ticked off several times? Is it just me?
I just want to know if the video has some meaning. Without one it's creepy...and weird. | |

The video production note on the web site reads: Quote:
Vanessa de Verdet
1794-1844
ヴァネッサ ド ヴェルデ伯爵
気高くも悲しき思想にとりつかれ、その人生は苦悩であった
ヴァネッサ伯爵のその深い悲しみが宿ったといわれる肖像画
1845年、戦火で絵画下部が焼けてしまったが一度修復されている
現在、とある博物館で保管されているが、
この肖像画の下に何かが焼けたような灰が積もることが稀にあるようだ
・・・とか、ないとか。
| Basically it's just supposed to be the portrait of a fictional guy named Vanessa de Verdet who "lived" in the early 1800s. Something about suffering, blah blah. The portrait was damaged during a war but is now kept in a museum, blah blah blah and things like that. I'm too lazy to do a full translation.
No special significance other than this fictional guy they came up with.

1844
- (minus)
1794
= (equals)
Vanessa lived 50 years old | |

the games expression on his face DOES change. When I played gold thats one of the first things I noticed about the song.

I thought I read somewhere that his face changes expressions when the performance gets better. It seems pretty odd. | |

Flashing Great: He kinda smirks.
Great: Neutral expression.
Good: Not that much different, looks semi-concerned.
Poor: Pissed-off look. | |
