PV Review: S/mileage "aMa no Jaku" Morning Musume "Nanchatte Renai"

Yo, I'm here with two new PVs and their reviews... take a look <3

Morning Musume "Nanchatte Renai"



The good: I like the setting of this, it reminds me of the w-inds PV for "CAN'T GET BACK" which I also really liked. I really liked Koharu's solo line, when I heard it for the first time I didn't even recognize her voice. It wounds so nice now that she's dropped the Kirarin singing. Gaki and Ai look really sexy here. And the camera work is very nice here, not too many still shots of just dancing or close-ups, they move it around to make it interesting.

The okay: Umm... everything. The song, the outfits, the whole PV in general. It's not bad, really, but it's just the same as everything else that they've come out with recently. And too little of LinLin here, I'm pretty mad about that. I thought that maybe after her bigger precense in Shouganai Yume Oibito and her other solo opportunities she's been given recently in the tour and the new H!P cover album that in this new PV she'd get some light, but I guess not. The song is really average as well. The rapping is interesting, I guess, but it doesn't stand out like it should.

The bad: Like I said, there really is nothing that stands out as horrible here, it's just all been done before. I guess little-to-no LinLin time is a bad thing ;)

PV Rating: 6/10
Song Rating: 6/10

S/mileage "aMa no Jaku"



The good: Whoa, H!P, when did you get a budget?? This PV really surprised me. Lots of different situations for the PV (Dance shot, close-up, around school, looking at pictures), which obviously took time to produce. All of the girls look great, especially Sakichi. Dawa is ... I don't know, she's not growing on me that well. I just don't think that she's that cute. But Yuuka and Kanon looked cute enough to make up for it :) The song is also quite good, I can tell that it wasn't just thrown together in the last second.

The okay: I'm not really happy to see the most overused situation in the idol genre: girls in schoolgirl uniforms go around the school doing cute normal schoolgirl things. I mean, it's not bad, but if you want to promote these girls you've got to do something so that they don't just fade into the woodwork like everyone else. Also, the vocals of S/mileage have yet to really impress me.

The bad: Um... I can't think of anything!

PV Rating: 7/10 (Remember, this is by H!P standards)
Song Rating: 6/10

Well, thanks for reading... I'll be back in a few days with the C-ute tour reveiw... the DVD came out recently.

Bye Bye Everyone! Enjoy these new songs and PVs!
