You knew it was coming right? Doing a review on the PV as soon as there was a decent version available is kinda obligatory ^^ I think overall I’m going to annoy many people with this review but oh well…this is my opinion and my opinion alone. Just because you have different views doesn’t mean that one of us is wrong. Anyway…Onward, Christian soldiers o_O *has no idea where that came from*
Hmm…for some reason I’m not enthusiastic about this PV at all. Don’t confuse that with me hating it, because I don’t. I just…I don’t really feel anything for it at the minute *sigh* I will still try and be nice about it though.
First off, I was wondering what those blurry things behind the writing on the title screen were. I kinda thought it was a tire bridge like you see in Formula 1 racing *facepalm*. When the PV started though, I realised they were umbrellas XD Is there any need for that many umbrellas? I bet there are some people, somewhere in Japan, getting wet because there’s an umbrella shortage…bastards! Also…Do I see the entrance to Santa’s grotto below the umbrellas? Awesomes!!!
On to the outfits. To me, the main outfits (leather jacket, short skirt & fish net tights) kinda look like something prostitutes would’ve worn in the 80’s. Not that I’ve ever met a ‘lady of the night’ from that decade, but I have seen them on TV ^^ Overall I don’t mind them too much. I think if they lost the gloves it would look less trashy (yep…loosing just the gloves will work wonders). As for the secondary outfits…they all look pretty darn good. Even Risa’s horrible silver puffy jacket looks okay. It’s amazing what computers can do!!! I must say though. I’m not feeling the fluffy jelly fish that Lin Lin calls a hat. What is that about? o_O
Hang on a minute…OH MY FUCKING GOD! Does Reina have glitter in her hair? No she doesn’t. Holy shit! I think the apocalypse is coming! Everyone duck and cover…DUCK AND COVER!!!
*composes self*
Moving on…Everyone’s hair is pretty darn awesome. Well…everyone apart from Ai. I really wish they wouldn’t do her hair like that. I said it on H!O and I’ll say it here – If they stuck a bowl on her head and cut around it, she’d have the most amazing basin hair cut ever! I was trying to find a screen shot from the latest Argos advert (where the family are saving money by cutting their own hair – basin style), but I can’t find one *sigh* Ai would so fit in with that family though.
Koharu’s hair on the other hand…I came! Seriously, that is filled with epic win! It’ll probably look like shit when the official photos come out, but for now, I’m wondering if I can get my hair like that. Hmm…mines probably not long enough :(
What else do I need to talk about? Oh yeah…the ‘rain’ shots. I’m kinda glad that they weren’t actually stood out in the rain else ‘hello hypothermia!’ They were nicely done but in some places reminded me of Mario Kart, as the rain was just over them and not in the whole shot. Actually! They’ve just reminded me of a scene in Hana Yori Dango, where Domyouji is stood in the rain for hours waiting for Makino ♥ Aww…now I like them a bit more (sucker). Sayumi and Jun Jun look exceptionally hawt in those scenes *gushes* Although whoever sprayed Jun Jun’s hair with water went a little bit overboard XD She does looks great for it though.
Last but not least, the dance. Reina said this dance was pretty difficult although I fail to see it. I think that after some dance lessons, gym sessions and generally getting some rhythm…I could pull it off (so to speak) ^_^; IMO the dance doesn’t really fit with the tempo of the song. But that might be because we don’t get to see the whole dance continuously. Once I’ve seen the dance shot (if there is one) maybe it will look a lot more in keeping with the song.
Hmm…I haven’t actually said many bad things about this PV. I think it’s not that I don’t like it. I just feel that it could’ve been a whole lot better. Maybe after a few more watches it will grow on me, especially seeing as the song has grown on me since I first heard the preview. We’ll see…
Tooth…Aches x_x
(sorry – I randomly paused there to IM Shirow and it made me roffle XD)
