This goes on sale today! (At concert venues, store release date is 4/3) so I wonder if we'll get the PV today? I hope it's soon ><

I know, why the hold up with the PV dudes? I wonder if it's because it's indies? They weren't really using YouTube for promotion during C-ute and S/Mileage's indies days were they...



Anyway I have this ordered but it won't come until 5th Dimension ships so I guess I'll get it the end of April. :\

You can hear a preview of the recorded single from iTunes here! There's a longer preview (1:29) if you open it in iTunes. They sound like they did in the concert which is nice because it means they sing live well :)



You can also purchase it on iTunes now! I'm not going to because I bought the CD and don't want to waste money, but I have to wait for it to come in the mail :( There's also a full version available on H!O to download.



JJ is like my new S/mileage now guys T_T

[yuzuriha]

Yeah, for some reason I was convinced it wouldn't be on iTunes because it's indies so I bought it toooooo!

[momoirosaya]

Someone on H!O said that Tsunku tweeted that the PV will be up 8pm JST, and that their next Indie single will released in May.

[Banana]

MV is up on their new channel.



Juice=Juice 『私が言う前に抱きしめなきゃね』 (MV)

[Shoujo Q]

The PV is standard stuff, very bland in fact. (Just compare it to S/mileage's debut)



I see so many similarities between C-ute and Berryz to S/mileage and JuicyJ now. Watch them get crap promotion and mediocre songs.

[Melon]

So who's most likely to leave before they hit it major? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... stling.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whistling:' />



The PV is boring, but I like the song.

[Solarblade]

This song is just so good!



After watching the PV, I found myself so in love with Sayubee and Yuka. Then everyone else follwed behind...I would love to see where this group goes for their next single because this was a great debut song.

[star]

Guys, this might end up being my favorite group.I know none of these girls because I don't follow the Eggs, but I've already chosen favorites.

Sayubee is my favorite. She was the first one I noticed.

Tomoko follows as a close second. She looks a lot like Maimi to me, and I love her voice.

The others all fall close behind.



I liked the PV. There's something about simplicity that I like.

Not sure but I tried to make comparisons between both groups. If I'm right, Yuka, Sayuki may not make it.





Yuka = Kanna (Last minute edition, not a Egg) (Last minute edition, not a H!P Kid)

Karin = Airi (Fan favorite, should have been in S/mileage) (Fan favorite, should have been in Berryz)

Sayuki = Megumi (Another fan favorite, strong voice but weak on the looks.)

Akari = Mai (Youngest members of their groups and I don't like either one of them.) *That's not a good enough answer Q!* YES IT IS!

Tomoko = Maimi/Erika (She looks a bit like Maimi and She's also the oldest of the K!Eggs)

Aina = Saki (Derp~) *Maybe Aina will develop an ass worthy of Al's praise?

[AurA]

The great thing about newbie groups with no promotion is that great concert tickets are pretty cheap.

I remember when S/mileage's debut PV came out, I thought it was more interesting than most PVs that were coming out for H!P at the time, but I found the song fairly boring. This is like the opposite, I really like the song but the PV is more boring than Momusu's new PVs. At least there's dynamic dance shots.



I can't really remember much from S/mileage's indies debut, but did they perform at H!P concerts before they released Ama no Jaku?

[momoirosaya]

The PV had nice camera angles and all but I wish they had some more stuff going on in the background.

They performed it at an egg concert, the summer concert, and Mano's concert. I think the first two were pre-release.

[kira]

Ah, okay. I only remembered them performing at Mano's concert so I wasn't sure.



After watching the J=J PV I went and looked up S/mileage's first PV and was reminded of how people used to say (after Asu no Deeto) that they would be the second Tanpopo. Then again, this was before they released their other singles & H!P did the reshuffles for that cover album.

[makky]

As much as I hate the saxophone in this song, I still manage to like the song itself. The MV is nice and simple. I actually don't hate any of the members, which is good. I really (surprisingly, since I like Karin) like the peach girl (whatever her name is).

[Anderei]

Miyazaki Yuka. She's from the S/mileage auditions in 2011.

She's also in GREEN FIELDS with Aika and Captain.

Hm, the sax isn't as pronounced in the MV. I don't like that, which is a shame because that means the CD version will sound that way. Ah well, can always rip the live, I guess, so good thing the girls are so good.

[rob]

Wow they really put zero thought into that video... I imagine the process went like this.



"Ok we are at the studio, it's big, white and completely empty"



"......"



"Finished!"



That said, I think J=J performing in a cupboard would still be awesome because all of the members are really awesome. It's kinda weird to not be able to pick a favorite and not be able to pick someone you don't like at the same time.



Aside Karin, I really like Tomoko's voice, it's deeper than the others and when they sang live you could hear the nice balance it brought.

[Anderei]

Well, they DID film it only two weeks ago. That right there made it obvious it was going to be even less a work of art than usual.

[Enmiz]

It is a simple PV, but I like it. I like that they have member color socks and just a few accessories in their color.

[tsukinobyouin]

This is my first time really listening to the song, I can never tell anything from concert rips.



I LOVE THIS SONG. The sax is awesome. The dance is fantastic. The group is full of solid singers, there's not one weak link. I also love that they're being given somewhat of a mature image right from the start (but not TOO mature to the point it's extra creepy). Some of the girls naturally have higher pitched voices, but overall they don't have the S/mileage kiddy voice thing going on. In terms of looks... I think pretty much only Karin and Girl in Red managed to be consistently cute. Most of the others had a lot of awkward moments and almost all of them need a lot of work on emoting. But overall this is a really solid indie debut.



Yeah, the PV is boring but it's an indie PV. I wasn't expecting them to put any money into it. At least the dance is fun to watch.

[Mukuro]

This song is really good! I wasn't crazy about it at first but now that I'm not hearing a concert-rip it's really stuck in my head.

[momoirosaya]

I thought the concert version was very nice quality since it was concert DVD quality, and it doesn't sound too different than the recorded version. Or did you guys just not see the performance on H!P Station? Because then it would make sense because there was a crappy fan recording before that.

[showraniy]

The sax isn't as loud in the PV than the concert, and that's probably the concert hall's reverb or something. I know nothing about sound, but the sax just jumped out a lot more to my ears in the concert performance, and the sax is the whole reason I like the song to begin with. It provides that interesting "something" to separate it out from a sea of uptempo H!P love songs IMO. So it's a little sad to hear it blend in much more with the other instruments (synths?) in the final mix of the song.

[Miss Moonlight]

I like the song a lot better with the dance in there. It's cute and fun and makes me want to try doing it <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' /> And I think the girls all did a really good job.



The PV is literally them dancing in an empty white room. It's refreshing because it's a new group doing something official, but if this was a MM video I think we'd all quit.

[neshcom]

I like the video and the song is really good. I hope they keep that sort of music style moving forward. The video production was nice for such a simple concept. The solos looked great and the dance was captured with a lot of drama. The girls kind of look similar, but they seem talented.

[roddyreta]

I thought the MV was pretty bare bones. Reminds me of a much cheaper version of Fairies' Beat Revolution MV, right down to the choreography (some girls standing still while the others dancing).



Still, the MV does a good job of highlighting each girl, and they all look fine, especially Akari.
