"Shining Power" was pretty awesome for me (although this outfits were horrific) but I can agree on "Asian Celebration."

I liked Shining Power.
But yeah, all their songs being about love usually doesn't bother me, but i can't listen to them right now.

I just saw the MV on YouTube. I've never been more underwhelmed by a H!P song before. The "Woo woo woo" part is weak
And I like the irony of them singing about adult freedom, and romantic experience when they are all adults with no experience or freedom to date.

Berryz songs disappoint me a lot. Usually its the MV for me but it was the song also. It wasn't that interesting and ironic in a way. The outfits were also shit Berryz needs something energetic. Not sexy.

Didn't see it up-- Otona na no yo! MV is up.
The rest is just as underwhelming as what you saw.
And then they all got farted on in the end.

Eh, I like it. For an H!P MV, it's pretty good.

I actually like the way the chorus flows, but this sounds more like a B-side or album song. I like that they have some sort of set, but why is it so dark??

I feel like everything about this song and video is superior to the main A-side, much like with Golden Chinatown/Sayonara Usotsuki. They really need some better brains behind Berryz because even a simple adjustment like promoting Sayonara Usotsuki over Golden Chinatown probably would have payed off at least a bit.
Re: [2014.02.19] Berryz Kobo - Otona na no yo! / 1 Oku 3 Senman sou Diet Oukoku (single)
Unless they're going to promote one on TV, I'm honestly not sure it matters which is the main a-side. They'll perform both at any release events anyway.

That looks so much better than Otona, in my opinion. Much cooler set with a wider view. Definitely a different feel to what's "normal"
Re: [2014.02.19] Berryz Kobo - Otona na no yo! / 1 Oku 3 Senman sou Diet Oukoku (single)
Ok, so just one question. What is this song even about? I think youtube's translate captions feature confised the shit out of me. Either that or the lyrics are just wtf.

^Dieting.
Here are some choice lines "Thin girls are dieting all year" "After I eat I have to run, I run to eat, I run for my health, I'll eat as much as I ran"
"Please please please please please please please etc."
It's like the total opposite of the west and the whole "love your body" thing going on, but at the same time, it's saying 'exercise' not 'starve yourself.' I know the whole weight thing in Asia is different, and it doesn't bother me, but some westerners are likely to take offense.
Both PVs look like they put a blue filter over everything. I like Otona na yo as a song better than this one though.

I also (don't) enjoy the lines "I wanna see fun dreams, I wanna believe in the future. Don't let me have lonely feelings. From the bottom of my heart, I wanna be acknowledged, I wanna be wrapped in warmth." then it's the pleases, lol
Usually those wouldn't stick out to me, but since it's in a song about dieting, they do lol. It's like, can you only get these things if you're on a diet and thin?
Well, er.... I mean, I guess over there you can I should shut up hahaha

Pffft the thing is in the west, is that they say 'love your body', but in the same breath talk about dieting.

It just seems odd to me to have a song about dieting.

Japan's whole thing is supposed to be odd. Actually, H!P has quite a good number of odd songs.

First of all WHERE ARE RISAKO'S EYEBROWS?!
Second of all, that onegai shit is annoying. It seems so out of place.
Ugh I feel like this is an exact repeat of last year for me. They follow up an amazing awesome single with a downright awful one. WANT! then Asian Celebration, Motto Zutto/Rock Erotic and then THIS atrocity.
Fuck everything I hate you tsunku I hate you.

I just watched the live performance because after watching that clip it started sticking with me, and ITSUDEMO DOKODEMO ITSUDEMO DOKODEMO ITSUDEMO DOKODEMO ITSUDEMO DOKODEMO /throws self off bridge
The choreography looks like it's going to be the hottest of hot messes. But I gotta say that split-second closeup on Maasa looked really cute?? I guess I misjudged her on her haircut, she looks like she's working it better.

I finally listened to the Diet song because it was featured on Hello Station. It is the WEIRDEST song I have ever heard. It isn't even about girls dieting in the typical way. I mean, it is this weird, robotic, futuristic droning on and on about the entire nation of Japan on a perma-diet. I just don't understand.
Kind of love it though.

Yeah, the lyrics are super weird. When the song titles were released, I though it was going to be something like this.
