Morning Musume - Wakuteka Take a Chance

[showraniy]

Guys, clearly the fire is the sum of many sparkles shining so bright, they'd combusted. Duh.

The fire is clearly there to cement Mizuki and Riho's sexy images.

But everyone is in the fire.

I guess in their special way, UFP is trying to build hype for the PV. Little do they realize the fanbase has thought the PVs have sucked for many years now. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/rofl.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

[rob]

True, we are just impressed that they are even putting in some effort for a change!

[Shoujo Q]

Someone failed to mention to them, less is more. I'm just surprised that none of the other H!P groups have had to suffer the wrath of the sparkle.

[Shoujo Q]

Haruna speakin' the French!



I now want a video of every girl speaking a different language.



Edit: I moved these over from the spam thread since it's basically more Wakuteka promotion.

Oh gosh, and I thought their pronounciation of Engrish couldn't be any worse. haha

[NekoKaiSai]

^Her "s'il vous plaît" was adorable.

[Mukuro]

I wonder if every girl is going to do one of these. I hope they do cause it's darn cute!!

[Noa]

I really want Kanon to do one in Korean or Mandarin, that would be so cute.

[cadmonkey]

I bet the final PV is going to remove the sparkles and fire, so we'll all think it's great by comparison.

STAHP



They're making it worse. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' /> It looked pretty okay before but now it looks cheap(er) and awful.

[Farrah]

I've come to the conclusion that whatever opinion this board has, inevitably, I'm going to end up having the opposite. I'm actually very content with this video, and I PREFER this version because it has much more dynamic camera work, which, sparkles be damned - makes it look far less cheap. And speaking of sparkles, I'm pretty cool with them in this video because they actually fit the song and the style of the video, unlike ONE TWO THREE which lacked any concept and was a product of some interns calling it a day after stringing up a brown back drop that completely clashed with the outfits, and slapping some multicolored sparkles all over everything. This video is actually pretty decent.



The only parts that stick out as particularly cheap to me are the parts where they're standing behind the light bars. The lighting and camera work there are just... awkwardly inorganic. I feel like the people over at UFA (ahem, sorry, UFP) are allergic to utilizing ANY shadows EVER. Everything is always insanely over exposed.

[Haru]

Oh I love how this turned out with camera angles and such, but I don't like the doubled/tripled bodies with the fire scenes, or the constant loop of sparkles.

[Farrah]

The fire scenes are a little random, but I'm okay with them other than the fact that every girl is doing essentially the exact same pose, which gets kind of boring, LOL.

I only scanend the thread, but the majority seem to think the newest PV version is way worse than the first one we got.

Maybe the fire is symbolic of the burning of H!P's last shreds of creativity.

I was thinking Portuguese since she has family/friends in Brazil. I'm not sure that UFP has done much to acknowledge their fanbase in South America though.

The best thing to come out of Hello! Project PVs are always the jokes made at this BBS.

[Shoujo Q]

Look whose on the 109 building in Shibuya.

[ObsidianSet]

Pretty much the best advertising spot in the whole of Japan...and it's big! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... stling.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whistling:' />

[Mukuro]

That really is a great thing to see. I'm glad the promotion didn't stop just with the 50th in this way.

[neshcom]

It's a huge promotional get. Wasn't that where they promoted Love Machine too? The song and PV are take-them-or-leave-them, but the meaning and effort put in make me hope the single sells well.

[BonkyuAsh]

Did Mizuki dye her hair?

[Anderei]

She did.



More promotion:

[momoirosaya]

That's really an amazing accomplishment for them to get on 109 now :) I'm so happy for them!

[Noa]

First thing I noticed was Kanon in the middle and it made me really happy

It's because they're in order of generation then age.

I'm aware, but it doesn't diminish the happiness. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />
