KH-Vids | Your ultimate source for Kingdom Hearts media

Welcome to this week's installment of the Top 5! Unfortunately we only had one entry this week, but what an entry it was.

This Week's Judge(s): Crowley (aka Cat~)

1. Hurt ; けが


Submitted by: @FurySp4rk
Song: Hurt by Johnny Cash
Details: The timing was spot on, the transitions were simple but effective, your use of text was great. I also especially liked your story. It got a bit bright at times, but your overlays were well used and I was surprised to see this kind of song paired up with KH. Well done!
