PV Releases (022112)

Poll Results (021612):
1. Watanabe Mayu - Synchro Tokimeki
2. Tokyo Girls Style - Rock you!
3. SPICA - Russian Roulette
4. PASSPO - Kimi wa Boku wo Suki ni Naru
[Unloved Music Videos: U-KISS - A Shared Dream, SPEED - Lovey Dovey Plus]


Not a bit surprised that Mayuyu won the poll.  For one, I didn't love anyone in particular (I had critiques on all of them) but also because I'm confident there are a bunch of biased readers.  The production value on Mayu's was good.   


My favorite PV for this week has to be ORANGE RANGE's, and my least favorite goes to KAT-TUN.  I'm planning on using my three votes for miss A, ORANGE RANGE, and finally DAZZLE VISION.  I have a suspicion that Momoclo (without Akari) will do well in this poll.  The reason why I don't like it, besides the song, is that the concept doesn't make sense.  It is just a hodge-podge of things with just the excuse it is science fiction style.


So we first see the girls on the moon with glowing eyes so either their robots of some kind or have super powers, and one is playing the electric guitar for a couple of seconds.  They never reintroduce the playing instruments.  Yeah it is a cool shot but am I to believe these are cylon/ pirate/ rockstars on the moon?  Please pick a couple and stick with it and we are only three seconds in.  They fly around on bikes, but also can travel by floating, and their space ship or hub in the background also has wires that they connect to their heads.  They can do the whole dragon ball thing and celebrate when Reni starts floating away even though they've already done it.  WTF!  What does pirates have to do with any of this?  There is a significant lack of pirate-lack activity, so why aren't they wearing futuristic outfits.  Pillage a plant.  Give them some swords.  Just because you can put babies, kitties, sparkles, Russian Unicorns, dragons, cylons, singing policewomen, and coffee in a PV doesn't mean you should.  They could of done plenty with the bikes, space travel, and pirates to make a great PV.  I dig doing something different and all but that doesn't mean you get a pass on doing it well.
