An Early Summer Video of Midsummer Greetings
C-ute will be coming out with their new single, Shochuu Omimai Moshiagemasu (It means "Midsummer Greetings" reminds me of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" for some reason...) on July 1st. The PV has just been released and seeing as I haven't reviewed a PV in a while, I decided to make random comments on this one.
Blue skies? I hope this PV's outside! That would be a nice change.
Oh well that dream's ruined...Let's hope this is a good PV
Interesting dresses (ARGH those dresses have ruffles on them! Ruffles are one of the things I hate...) They would be more appropriate on Valentine's Day, though.
A beach! Then there's hope after all! I have to note that this scene is in slow motion (like every recent H!P PV), which shows that H!P knows how to make a good video
Maimi prepares to break the watermelon with a stick (which is a popular summer in Japan by the way. I would try to do it here but I don't live by any beaches...I guess I can go do it in a park) There's a lovely cameo from Ume (Awesome)
Nakki epically fails on her try. But she looks cute doing it so it's alright
Chisa actually gets a hit and acts like she won the Super Bowl or the World Cup or the NBA Finals or the Daytona 500 or the Stanley Cup (Want me to continue or have I made my point clear)
Random point to the ceiling moment! "We're #1... and Berryz is a close second!"
Let's eat that watermelon that we were beating to death not too long ago. Hope they washed the sand of it first...So after they eat, the girls take pictures. Just about everyone gets one and after more dancing they color.
"Airi! Stay inside the lines!" "I need a red. Does anyone have a red?" "Just use a pink. No one will notice..." Then there's more closeups and more dancing. After that, C-ute decides to go home for the day. "Maybe we'll film another PV here one day." Maimi says as they walk away
I like this PV because: 1. It's not in front of a green screen 2. It's bright and colorful. It makes good use of the slow motion and closeups and this time the PV actually matches the song which is rare is H!P PV these days. So this PV gets an A from me. Good job, girls!
