Berryz Kobou's Rival PV
You can watch the PV via Dohhh UP!.
The song and the concept is very cute overall (especially the foods, the instruments, and the talking parts in the song). But, at the same time, I think the song is really boring (maybe I have a hidden bias because I love Seishun no Bus Guide because it's a very cool song). I am waiting for Morning Musume to a double A-side single again and put out cool, fun videos like this one (I like the PVs for MM. but they need some fun single in their current discography).

Loving the song! Super cute. However, that high note of Risako's near the end... should be interesting live. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
Re: Berryz Kobou's Rival PV
When I see the guitars, girls in red,black&white outfits and short skirts, plus Miyabi standing out with her very distinct hairstyle..
I can't help but think "When did Buono get so many members?" <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />
This is a world better than the Seishun Bus video. The concept was hilarious, but those green screen scenes looked like they were part of the earlier 3,2,1 contest entries, (before people figured out how to use se.. Wait, I mean Windows Movie Maker. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> ) Did you see those cityscape scenes? Seriously, that's what got put in the finished PV???

It's like an updated "Fighting Pose Datte Ja Nai," which is fine by me, cuz that's one of my favorite BK songs ever. The dance is really cute and the song looks like tons of fun. The wota should eat this up at concerts. They need to either start or end a concert with this song.

Re: Berryz Kobou's Rival PV
I like this a lot better than Seishun Bus Guide. This isn't even close to their strongest single, but it's cute and fun whereas Seishun Bus Guide just didn't appeal to me at all. As for PVs, I guess they're about equal. They tried to break from the typical H!P PV format more in Seishun, but this one is more fun overall. The concept for Seishun was cute, but in practice it fell a little flat.

Re: Berryz Kobou's Rival PV
I like this more than the Seishun Bus Guide pv which I found disturbing and creepy.
Re: Berryz Kobou's Rival PV
I played this PV once at work, but never got near the end so I finally got a chance today to sit down and watch it. It's cute, reminds me of an updated version of Morning Musume's Do the Hustle. As in, this is how you REALLY bring back the 80s. Hustle being the example of what NOT to do to bring back the 80s.
It's great they're squeezing two PVs out of H!P singles now but in the future I wouldn't mind just one good one.
And oh my god, Risako's high note scared me. I actually jumped. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /ph34r.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> I had to rewind it and hear it again. That sounded painful. My laptop vibrated when she said the line. xD

Re: Berryz Kobou's Rival PV
Surprisingly, the song isn't all that bad. Cutesy, typical H!P, but the energetic PV makes up for it. Bonus points for Chinami hamming it up during the instrumental break.
I really want a .gif of Saki doing her little "crying with cardboard tears" thing, it would make such a good avatar..

Re: Berryz Kobou's Rival PV
^ I know, when did she get so cute??
I'm having trouble recognizing Saki with the new brows though... I keep being like, "Who's the new girl?? Oh wait, that's Saki... " <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... stling.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
The song is OK, the PV is cute but just OK. Overall I preferred Seishun Bus Guide but it's not terrible or anything.

Re: Berryz Kobou's Rival PV
It's actually better than her voice cracked. At full volume it's kind of piercing. BTW, skinny Maasa = HOT!

Maasa got so skinny! Risako's probably the chubbiest now. Hahaha. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /weeeh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />
Speaking of which... first of all, whose idea was it to GIVE her that note, to start with? Secondly, my ears are thanking God for that crack, like Tallgeese said, that note at full volume... <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ek3run.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':sad:' />

Re: Berryz Kobou's Rival PV
The "fat monster" that previously roamed MM is now haunting BK!
Re: Berryz Kobou's Rival PV
I like this - but what is wrong with Saki's hair? She looks like a 40 year old obasan.
Re: Berryz Kobou's Rival PV
It's obvious Risako just hit the "awkward Aibon years". Let's hope she comes out of them fully intact for the better. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':sad:' />
Saki's hair... there is only so much you can do with short hair. It's either her or her producers that are keeping it short. My bet is on the producers. At least she finally got her eyebrows mowed...I mean trimmed. One step at a time Saki, one step at a time. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... iggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';/' />

GOD, yes. When I watched the making of video for her PB from a few months ago I about shat myself with how unbelievably skinny and gorgeous she got in such a short period of time. She looks like a different person than she did a year ago.
And this song just may be the best song and video that they've ever done, for the record. And that's quite something to live up to, because I think they may be my favorite H!P group at this point.

Re: Berryz Kobou's Rival PV
I like what they've done with Saki's and Chinami's hairstyles here. Very pretty. Almost makes up for the loss of Saki's eyebrows. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />
