Digimon Adventures/Tri ~ Chosen Family A.M.V [song by: Rina {Sawayama}] featuring implied DUO/SHIP: Taichi Yagami [Taichi “Tai” Kamiya in US] x Koushiro(u) [Izzy] Izumi also known as [KouTai]/[TaiKou]/[Taishiro(u)]

Summary:

“We don’t need to be RELATED to “RELATE”;

We DON’T NEED TO {share ““GENES””} or a SURNAME...”

{Originally created for August 1st, 2020 anniversary; “Chosen Family” Day is also recognized February 22}

and significant bonus characters: MRS IZUMI [Yoshie (as I prefer to call her, is a name translation used in some translations still, such as the Adventure novelization); her name has also been read/translated as Kae]; Mr Masami Izumi (briefly); the Chosen Children (as support); Tentomon / HerakleKabuterimon (as support); Taichi, Koushiro, & Tentomon in Digimon Adventure 2020 Reboot [Episodes 02, 03, & 05 of Reboot only; just Koushiro-relevant scenes] - ALL of Adventure{s} Chosen; (including a few brief scenes of Meiko from Kyousei) (Tri Part 5) will show at some point towards the middle to end;

Because, as per the symbolism,

THEY Are ALL Koushiro’s “CHOSEN FAMILY” TOO.

“We don’t need to be RELATED to “RELATE”;

We DON’T NEED TO {share ““GENES””} or a SURNAME...”

- As well as some Koushiro-relevant spoilers from Tri Part 3; “Kokuhaku” [“Confession”] (These may hint to Tri’s plot progression, though without ‘full’ context.)

My past/other AMVs can all be found within this tag on my blog! {As well as this and this index for Koushiro & Taishiro specific A.M.V.s!}

This A.M.V. was originally made for August 1st 2020 Anniversary of Digimon Adventure. More information on this A.M.V. can be found under the ‘read more’!

HAPPY AUGUST 1ST / ODAIBA DAY 2K20, DIGIMON / ADVENTURES FANDOM!

This is a Koushiro Izumi-centric AMV with, honestly, a very special overall message intended. It ALSO, however, functions as a SHIP/OTP AMV as TAISHIRO is my ultimate OTP of OTPs. I understand not everyone ships the pairing, but, if you can, please consider viewing this AMV regardless. I worked very hard on this AMV, totaling about 9 HOURS spanning 2 full evenings/2 days. (AMVs are not made “easy”! They can and do take time!)

I stumbled upon this song after recently hearing about the British-Japanese artist Rina Sawayama; her album is also titled “Sawayama”. As soon as I saw the title / read the lyrics, I knew IMMEDIATELY this was the literal perfect song for a Koushiro Izumi AMV. You’ll see as soon as the 1st chorus what I mean by this. (*You can probably guess from the title alone.)

However, something important of note. The artist of this song ALSO identifies as both Bisexual+Pansexual. She has also talked notably about her Bi/Pansexuality in interviews. The artist has also stated she wrote this song to reflect those who have been ostracised, disconnected from, or “Othered” by their parents / loved ones / even communities due to being LGBTQ(IAPN)+ (bolding mine for emphasis): “ The concept of a chosen family is, to me, a Queer one – people are often kicked out of their homes or ostracised by their family, friends, and community after coming out. This can be an incredibly painful experience that can be remedied by finding a new ‘chosen’ family. ” She has stated that this song is intended for anyone who has felt such a disconnection in regards to their family / communities in general as a result of their being L.G.B.T.Q(I.A.P.N)+ and that Family as a wider concept does not necessarily have to involve Blood Ties, at all. FRIENDS CAN VERY MUCH BECOME YOUR CHOSEN FAMILY. Essentially, the concept relates to/is basically “FOUND FAMILY”. There may be such a similar implication in this AMV in regards to the various other Chosen Children as a whole UNIT. (Though for Koushiro specifically, while Koushiro truly loves and is supported by the Izumi family here, In regards to a “Disconnect” Koushiro and others may feel in general, still, even within their own communities/society, otherwise ...) [Basically, I have created this AMV from my interpretations of the characters and through the lens of many of my own various L.G.B.T.Q.I.A.(P.N)+ headcanons; Obviously, I recognize they are non canonical, I do NOT need to be TOLD. That said, my many varied headcanons are absolutely intended regardless. Basically, please recognize various L.G.B.T.Q.I.A.P.N.+ in general is intended.] (You can view some of my past posted headcanons in this tag!)

So, you can probably see why I was inspired to make this AMV and also the intentions of it... Note: my other ships can be found on the sidebar of this blogs’ layout AND also via the links to my old main blog, where my shiplist is linked. BASICALLY ANY OF THOSE OTHER SHIPS can be read into this AMV. I’m a pretty big multi-shipper (includes me having numerous polyships) so if you’d enjoy reading any of those in, feel free to do so; HOWEVER, please also note the main pairing and focus intended is still Taishiro [Taichi x Koushiro].

There are somewhat, if brief Tri and Digimon Adventure 2020 spoilers in this AMV. (*Mainly involving Tri Koushiro, and TRI TENTOMON, with very miniscule Tri Taichi moments) [the vast majority of scenes are for AMV aesthetics purposes.] They are listed (vaguely) as follows.

- scenes from KOKUHAKU / CONFESSION, 3rd Tri movie (mainly character scenes of Tri Koushiro + HerculesKabuterimon). [*Also, That Thing xxxx Was Involved In, a.k.a. The Rxxxxx.] (*Also, a moment involving Koushiro + his partner from the ending.) [*Also, a quick moment involving Koushiro+Mimi just post Rxxxxx.] - scenes from SOUSHITSU / LOSS, 4th Tri movie (mainly a Taishiro moment; however, a moment with Meiko as well.) [*The Meiko moment is overall not majorly spoilery / friendship implied.] - scenes from KYOUSEI / SYMBIOSIS, 5th Tri movie (mainly a scene involving the Chosens’ family members.) [*The family members themselves are not present in the scene. It is overall a not majorly spoilery character moment involving two quick flashes of Tri Koushiro and Tri Taichi for aesthetics.] - scenes from BOKURA NO MIRAI / OUR FUTURE, 6th / final Tri movie (*Overall not majorly spoilery Koushiro aesthetic scenes; some moments of him in his office only.) - Taishiro interaction (brief) from Digimon Adventure 2020 Eps 02~03. - very brief scenes from Digimon Adventure 2020 Episode 05 Koushiro + Tentomon’s battle + the ending moments with them.
