Okay, the second PV from double A-side Berryz’s 20th single is already rolls out at DohhhUp. You can watch the entire pv here. Its title is “RIVAL”. I only have one word to simply describe the entire PV and the song itself, that is “FANTASTIC”.
As you can see, as you can hear, as you can feel, the PV is very simple. But, simple PV doesn’t mean it same as the other H!P low cost production PV. All the foods and instrument in this PV are fake and made from cheap card board paper. The room is just simple white with very poor decoration. And you can see very well that some part of their outfit is just modified re-used outfit from H!P’s cramped wardrobe.
Yeah yeah, enough for that. But i can say this PV is far more better than the other side of this double A-side single. There is one thing that made this PV become very fantastic. It’s its concept. A band with 7 members and they sing a very happy-genki-catchy song. Air band dance, hula hoop, and girly-girly chit-chat is another positive point. Everyone looks very happy, but they show their another side as well. The dance is only a very berry simple dance that everyone can easily follow it (even for a fat guy like me).
Perfect synchronized theme between the PV and the song make this PV even more superb. They don’t need full CG effect. They don’t need a huge winter castle or university for a place to crash. They don’t need dark discotheque atmosphere. Even they don’t need an imaginary hi-tech bus that can travel across the universe. Just a simple bright white room with colorful furniture and instrument plus catchy dance is more than enough to express all the thought within the song.
Another thing that make me very addicted to this PV is the return of Miya and Kuma’s role as one of the four front engine. Even now i’m still confused who is the main actor for the whole PV. Is it Rii as usual? Is it Momo? or Is it Miya?
The PV starts with Miya handling a card board guitar. Her position is center and also the pivot for the dance. She did the public talk for the others with captain but, she stand out too much that made her steal the eye catch just for her. Her outfit is the most sparkling. Think a shoujo manga style pretty thing (is that what she thinks about her beauty self?). Her hips moved very well in the dance or even when she played those hula hoop. She got long lines in this song. And she know how to draw with ‘metal’ guitar very well and made some awesome move with it. And of course a close up only for her in the end of this PV.
That is my main point why i love this song very much. I want to buy every limited pack and single V for this awesome single. Should i cancel my order for Alo Hello Berryz. My budget is really thight too for an average salaryman. Should i take some loan? Oh yeah before leaving, i have some stuff to share about this ‘Rival’, here:
