I have very few words to say on the subject other than I’m somewhat disappointed. I already knew that the other girls were going to get shafted for screen time, but a great deal of things left me confused.
- The dancing in the PV is okay, but I can’t help but feel parts of it are out of place. The style doesn’t work with it and why do you need all the dancing in the first place?
- It’s obvious it’s cheap. Tsunku, if you really wanted to make this a “new” Morning Musume, you’re only making them look less like a real group. Whoever suggested the idea for the PV to be what it is, and just that needs to be shot multiple times. Then they need to be revived and shot again.
- I don’t expect this to do any good in a promotional sense for Morning Musume. If anything most people judge the song by the PV. I’m sure there are already people second guessing themselves liking the song. Resonant Blue is a great song that is the victim of a cheap PV.
- If people were looking for any more reason to hate Kusumi, her presence as one of the three main girls is it. I don’t mind, but it worries me since I know people are going to be having kittens and cursing her to a foul death. Too bad she isn’t the one that decides things. But I’m sure people will, as usual, conveniently forget this and say she’s a diva and spoiled brat, etc. etc.
- Most people who hate the video with a passion hate it because their girl got shafted for screen time. And in other news, the sky is blue.
- I’m still buying the single because I love the song way too much not to. However I doubt I’ll watch the PV on the DVD that comes with it.
I felt completely underwhelmed after watching that PV. What a let down.
About the “cheap” comment you made, I agree. And really, these PVs don’t HAVE to be cheap. A little more effort, editing, and scenery is all they need to “come alive”. It is a little rediculous. You’d think with all the money those concerts bring in that Tsunku rakes in he could make the PVs better. I mean, I could do a better job directing some of these new PVs.
