モーニング娘。 『Only you』 (MV)


So the usual title/group name appears first. Here the background they used is the white dance shot setting. Plus the a crystal. Then the scene switches to the red dance shot setting. Then another scene switch to the same place, but the members aren’t dancing anymore. They’re just sitting around while some crystals are floating. I noticed that the new MVs of H!P all have one thing in common (well the three main groups which is MM, BK & C-ute) there are floating things. For Berryz they have the shining white light or the heart thingy. For C-ute the pink bubbles. Whats up with them now? Mano, S/mileage & Kikka have probably the most normal MV this round.
Although I’m not saying the floating crystals here are distracting or a fault. I actually think they’re nice. So yeah another scene switch we go back to the white room where they dance. So next we have the close-up version which I think was nicely done. Actually because the close-up version is all white and bright (hey it rhymes!) it sort of reminds me of S/mileage’s “Yume Miru 15″ close-up version. They were also dressed uniformly and in white too. Plus the background was shiny. Though I like Morning Musume’s shiny close-up better. The scenes repeat… Not much changes.
So my comments… IT’S AWESOME! I love the PV! I love this song! Probably the best single ever since Ai took over and well I can’t really say if its the best for the kyuukies since it’s only their 2nd single, but definitely better than “MAJI DESU KA SKA!” :)
To be honest I didn’t like their outfits or the covers…but the song matters right? :) As for the b-side of this single since the video was removed I wasn’t able to hear it. I heard a cover one, but I couldn’t really take it and stopped listening. So I’m not sure what I’d say about it. The a-side however, like I said, is awesome. I didn’t really mind the auto-tune, but yeah I agree with the other fans that they shouldn’t have auto-tuned their voices much. (Especially Gaki) Hopefully Morning Musume can produce more songs like this, but “those” days would’ve been okay too (Mr. Moonlight, Love Machine, etc..where they were goofing off)
Oh and one more thing..Remember “Shouganai Yume Oibito”? yeah well I think that was the 8th gen’s first #1 and well I gotta agree its really good. And the video was good too. I just want to like tell the directors and whatnot that they should stick to that concept. Where they have these “acting scenes” and then the close-up, and then sure dance..but at least there they’ve got a lot of outfits unlike here they relied on one. I’m not just saying for MM only, but the whole H!P. I’m sort of frustrated with Hello Project MVs now.
