Hear Berserk Films' Theme With Made-Up Lyrics in Video
posted on by Egan Loo
The official YouTube channel for the Berserk anime films began streaming a tongue-in-cheek video for the trilogy's theme song, "Aria." The song's official lyrics have not been made public, but the creators posted the song on the Niconico service and invited listeners to write up their own alternate lyrics to be the "net standard lyrics" — complete with a music video.
The staff then took the winning fan-made lyrics (and music video) and created a special video for the third film with actual anime footage. The alternate video debuted during a live streaming event on Niconico last Wednesday. (The video below begins with the official trailer for the third film, Berserk Golden Age Arc III: Descent/Berserk Ōgon Jidai-Hen III: Kōrin.)
Susumu Hirasawa performed the original song, and the third film will open in Japan on Friday.
