[2015.02.04] ANGERME - Taiki Bansei / Otome no Gyakushuu

[Derby]

At first I wasn't really happy when they announced Rikako as one of the new members, but after the Taiki Bansei performance I think she's already my favorite from the new gen. lol.
She was the most energetic, just as the song is. Oh and Taiki Bansei is so frrrrreaking awesome

[momoirosaya]

Otome's PV looks awesome, but Taiki looks basic... And looks like they reused the silver tinsel from Yume Miru 15.

It's a game because I like Taiki Bansei better. oh well!

[ShiroiChanUK]

For once I don't mind a H!P MV being basic :) This MV shows off a lot of the dance and as I said I loved seeing this song performed so I'm happy :)
 
Otome's MV looks great so far and everyone looks elegant :)
 
I thought we'd see Country Girls MV's first since their single is coming out first but I'm not complaining :) Maybe we'll see one of each groups MV's on H!S next week :)
 
Edit: From H!O

Not quite Yume Miru 15 but still XD!

[Noa]

This single might just make me love this group. I really didn't care for much of H!P besides MM so I'm anxious to see how this year plays out.

Reg A

Reg B

Lim A

Lim C

Lim D

Interesting that they put the English titles on a number of the covers.... H!P really is shifting towards a more international fanbase, no? They all look great (the girls), while dat photoshop game still weak. Shoutout to Lt. A for putting the girls with their new colors... Helps me remember/adjust. Meimei feels out of place to me.

[Anderei]

All the Taiki Bansei covers can burn. I'm getting Reg B.

[Elpis]

The MV was cheap looking, but its UFP. All the girls had a different sort of energy about them and they looked like they were having fun for once. The instrumental is awesome.

[TicTacAnyone]

Haro!Sute PV of Taiki Bansei
 
Damn, Murota is seriously forcing me to pay attention to her lol

[Noa]

I love the PV! Can someone tell me which new girl is which? I know Rikako but I'm lost on the other two.

[Banana]

Aikawa Maho - long hair, wearing a white shirt and a red skirt, tall
 
Murota Mizuki - hair in a ponytail, wearing white and blue plaid, short, has darker skin (like Dawa)

[Farrah]

Maho is cute but Mizuki stole the show for me in Taiki Bansei.  She just has a lot of charisma.  Although I find her to be terrible overrated, Rikako did as well.  Maho seemed to fade into the background a bit but I'm sure she'll find her place.  Is she a good singer? I presume at least one of them must be and we all know it isn't Rikako.

Out of the three, Mizuki is the best singer and a good dancer. Rikako has a deeper voice... It's not a bad voice but she herself has said singing isn't her specialty.The extent of Maho's singing ability isn't known but I'm pretty sure she is a weak singer and alright dancer (despite taking ballet), but is very cute. She was a Kenshuusei for only 5 or so months before debuting. Here's Murota singing (over a year old.)

[Mugi]

Yea Mizuki really stood out in the pv.  Unlike the live performance Rikako didn't give off as much energy.  I really love both the songs can't wait to see and hear the full versions of both!

[Noa]

Mizuki was the one I really liked then, I'm looking forward to more of her.

[Anderei]

Maho was super cute.


What's with that bluish lighting they keep using in PVs though? I hate it.

[kira]

That lighting drives me crazy.
 
Also, the thing that really threw me off about the PV was the completely different lighting between the dance shot and the close-up shots. The dance shots were so dark for some reason.

[JPope]

The only one of those covers that kind of sucks is Reg A. The rest are at least pretty good, and Lim C is a brilliant throw-back cover.

[MejraThea]

Lim B and C are for me.

[ShiroiChanUK]

I hope this will be released on iTunes :)

[yuzuriha]

I am absolutely obsessed with Taiki Bansei and I am LOVING third gen.  Rikako is my favorite but the other two I just like can't even choose.  Everyone looked like they were having such a great time in the PV....except Ayaka and Kanon.  Especially Kanon looked bored out of her mind.

[Shoujo Q]

Scrolled through and didn't see this. If you've been watch MUSIC+ (You know, that other UF show besides Hello!Station) they've been showing the creation of Taiki Bansei from the start. 
 
Part 1 / 2 / 3 / 4
 
It's really interesting stuff and I hope they continue to do it for other H!P songs in the future. 
 
#4 is really the most interesting because you get to see the vocal mixing process.

[momoirosaya]

Definitely interesting to see how much work goes into these songs, even if you can't understand Japanese, you can still tell visually.

They're doing Otome no Gyakushuu next week.

[Anderei]

Taiki Bansei PV up on their channel
 
I know all the hype is for Mizuki and Rikako, but Maho's closeups were really cute.

[Shoujo Q]

Also the version they put up is different than the one they showed on Hello!Station. They cut out the name shots.

[NekoKaiSai]

I liked the name shots.

[momoirosaya]

Maybe the name shots will be on the single version.

[TicTacAnyone]

Main changes I can see:

-Possibly lightened up the dance ver.?
-More dance ver. vs. close- up
-Longer shots when on close-up
-Different shots of close-up than the original (which is sad because Murota rocked the original PV)
-Less close-up focus on 3rd, more evenly dispersed
 
Overall I think the New Ver. makde the PV feel a lot slower... And that wasn't really what I think fits the song. But. 

[Meikochi]

This single is great ! Taiki Bansei is a really energic song, like I love. About 3kies, Murotan (that dress is really perfect for her) and Rikako really stand out to me, they're both having fun while Maho seems too embarassed and uneasy. Meimei's hairstyle isn't looking good, unlike in Otome no Gyakushuu, where she's pretty.
I love the first lines of Otome no Gyakashuu and the song is growing on me. I'm looking forward the full version to decide which one of both songs I love the most. (but Rikako's hair in this MV.. )
Murotan is the one who stand out the most in both MV in my opinion, she has a lot of charisma and is really pretty. Great addition.
And about the covers, Regular B and Limited A are my favorites (good idea to help us remembering their new colors). Also, at first, I was really surprised about titles in English, but well, maybe UFA is trying to appeal more overseas fans ?

[arcobaleno]

I think the single is fantastic, and I love 3ki so much. Maho is my definitely favorite, I love her brand of charm, but I really, really like Murotan and Rikako as well.
