In the Air Tonight

Adolescence Mokushiroku music video script
In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins
If you've read my other video scripts you know the drill. What's going on in the song will be in [brackets], and the images shown in the video will be written underneath that. I decided to use this song because some of the lines really reminded me of the movie, for example "Well if you told me you were drowning/I would not lend a hand/I've seen your face before my friend/But I don't know if you know who I am," which reminds me of Utena and Touga. I really wish I had the software to actually make a video of this that you could see, and if anyone did and could put this together for me I would be forever in your debt. ^-^ This isn't quite finished yet, but it soon will be...I wish I had Adolescence Mokushiroku on video so I could watch it again. ;_; Anyway...SKU, the characters, all that other good stuff, that's all (c) Chiho Saito, the Be-Papas, Ikuhara-sensei, etc. and the song is (c) Phil Collins and whoever else wrote it and owns the copyright to that. Not me, and I'm not claiming to own any of that stuff either, just this script. Thanks a million, now you can "watch" the "video". ^-^

[the creepy drum things at the beginning]
Floating buildings, staircases, etc. at Ohtori float by, then it cuts to Anshi's shadow with a hole where her heart should be (it cuts after the first guitar thing).

[the music starting in the background]
The scene of Utena and Touga in the elevator, as the water's starting to leak in, then Utena's and Touga's last kiss through the glass, and Utena's anguished expression.

[I can feel it coming in the air tonight]
The room where Shiori and Touga were, with the sheets twisting up.

[Oh Lord]
Young Touga and his father in the garden, as seen from the POV of one of the butterflies

[I've been waiting for this moment, all my life]
The wings pulsating on Shiori's back, then bursting forth.

[Oh Lord]
Butterfly Shiori on the cabbage plants

[Can you feel it coming in the air tonight]
Juri and Miki walking in the garage, then Shiori walking towards them.

[Oh Lord]
Semi-close-up of Shiori in the garage

[Oh Lord]
The scene fades to Utena, with a similar expression to Shiori's on her face, it kinda looks like Shiori turned into Utena.

[Well, if you told me you were drowning]
Shiori in bed with Touga

[I would not lend a hand]
Shiori and Juri standing facing each other, about three or four feet apart.

[I've seen your face before my friend]
Utena's POV as she runs through the rose garden, looking at Touga.

[But I don't know if you know who I am]
Same scene, except Touga's POV watching Utena.

[Well, I was there and I saw what you did]
Shiori holding up the tape that has Akio's death on it.

[I saw it with my own two eyes]
The wall of paintings in the tower that Akio did of Anshi.

[So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been]
Anshi, Utena, and Touga talking as the girls clean the pool, Touga walks up to Anshi and smooths down her hair, and Utena walks away.

[It's all been a pack of lies]
Close-up of Touga's rose signet ring as he pushes his hair behind his ear, and then Utena's face as she looks at the ring.

[And I can feel it coming in the air tonight]
Shiori with her arm linked in Juri's, encouraging her to duel Utena

[Oh Lord]
Kozue in the bath with Miki, holding the razor up to his neck (a kinda pointless scene IMHO)

[I've been waiting for this moment for all my life]
Utena turning into Dios, grabbing the sword

[Oh Lord]
Miki watching the duel with Touga next to him

[I can feel it coming in the air tonight]

[Oh Lord]

[And I've been waiting for this moment all my life]

[Oh Lord]

[Well I remember]
The Shiori car crashing.

[I remember don't worry]
Close-up of Anshi as she drives the Utena car

[How could I ever forget]
The angle changes to a shot of the Utena car speeding down the road

[It's the first time]
Shot of Utena's photograph of herself with Touga

[The last time we ever met]
Touga in the elevator, floating away

[But I know the reason why you keep your silence up]
Utena in the arena, grabbing Anshi's collar, a close-up of her angry face as she accuses Anshi of breaking up her and Touga, then Utena pinning Anshi down.

[no you don't fool me]

[The hurt doesn't show; but the pain still grows]

[It's no stranger to you or me]
The Utena and Anshi straw figures (scarecrows :P) in the Shadow Girls' command room

[big drum fill]
Anshi raising the axe in the arena, then bringing it down on the water pipe.

[And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord]
Utena and Anshi dancing

[I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord]
Utena being pulled into the car wash with Anshi holding on to her hand; the angle switches from looking at Utena to looking at Anshi, and at the end of the line Anshi falls backwards and Utena is pulled in.

[Oh lord]
Close-up of Anshi's hand opening to reveal the key to the Utena car

[I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord]
Akio pushing the tracks in on Anshi as she drives out of the castle car

[Oh lord]
Anshi's face looking determined as she drives toward the end of the tracks

[I've been waiting for this moment for all my life]

[Oh lord]

[I can feel it coming in the air tonight]

[Oh lord]

[as the music fades out]
Utena and Anshi on the remains of the Utena car, driving toward the outside world, and the last shot is a faraway shot of the Utena car and the girls driving off into the horizon.
