Almost no difference, huh? :D

The music video for the song has undergone a huge development hell, we'll probably tell you more about it later. Long story short, Rise Guys was initially meant to be a 3D-animated video, but attempts of working with 3D animators who agreed to work on it all failed in the end - so after all we decided to draw a simple...

So he just recorded the words you can see and he...
