Buono! >>> The Queen

The PV to Buono!’s awesomely amazing new single is now on Dohhh! Up. But I haven’t come here to do a review on it, as I believe that something as spectacular as this deserves to be ‘gushed’ over when a high quality version is available. What I have come to say is – I wonder if the Queen was aware that 3 Japanese girls broke in, then hawked the special cake that she had made for Barack Obama’s first visit to the UK? Damn those pesky kids!!!

Random Berryz / Miyabi Spammage

I want to apologise for the next few posts. Basically I’m cleaning out my Live Journal and making it just about my personal life. But a part of me doesn’t want to lose a few of the Hello! Project posts I’ve made there, so I’m going to copy them over to here. This is purely so I can laugh at it all in years to come…

September 3rd 2008 – 02:22am

I’m sat here on my bed, drinking Polish Vodka with Coke, and chatting with Shirow <3 size=”1″> (and for nearly a year afterwards) Reina was my favourite member. So everytime I watched a PV I focused on her. Now that Risa has totally bitch slapped Reina out of top spot (and the top 5 members positions XD), things have all changed and I’m seeing the PV’s in a new light. So as I haven’t watched them all through again, from Mr. Moonlight to Resonant Blue, I cannot give an actual concrete answer to his question.

Because I totally failed on that, Shirow then asked me which is my favourite Berryz Koubou PV. Well…This started the ball rolling on some major PV watching and screen capping. My absolute, without a doubt, favourite Berryz PV is SPECIAL GENERATION!!! But a very close 2nd is Gag 100 Kaibun Aishitekudasai, purely for the amazing outfits (my uber fave Berryz outfit) and the cracky dancing. So I decided to plug in my HDD and find the Berryz Singles Clips and watch my 2 fave PV’s <3

Nai Chau Kamo PV

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…

Kill Me Kiss Me Now!

The PV for Hangry & Angry’s ‘Kill Me, Kiss Me’ has been released and is up on the front page over at H!O. The video comes from the dedicated Hangry & Angry MySpace page, and as no-one has uploaded it yet, I can’t post ‘decent’ screen caps.

Kill Me Kiss Me

But here’s my thoughts on the PV in one simple word…

SHITE!

That is one of the most painful things I have ever subjected myself too…really! Watching it made me want to gauge my eyes out, with a spoon…

Yossie seems to be having a gurning competition with herself, and Rika just looks a bit clueless. Does she really know why she’s there??? Oh…and don’t get me started on the fake guitar playing!

Anyone get a Mark Lamarr vibe from her?

Then there’s a bit where Rika runs her hand up Yossies stomach and cups her boob… I nearly spat my tea out, which would’ve been a major waste. Not because I was thinking ‘Hawt Dayum!’, but because it looked so forced, and down right horrible. Urgh!!!

*sigh* I really don’t have the willpower to write any more about this. Even though I really wanted to blog about it. I suppose I just don’t feel like wasting any more typing time on this piece of crap. And like my mum always says to me: ‘If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all’.

Although I’ve changed that over time to: ‘If you can’t say anything nice, say one horrible thing, then walk / run away’.

So I will…

Toodles ^^

No Rika…hiding behind a teddy will not make the PV go away!
