Eripon's cover shot is the one to beat. Looks like she's infected by Sayashi Virus.

OH NO I WASN'T EXPECTING THAT LAST SHOT OF GAKISAN AND NOW I HAVE RED EYES AGAIN

Indeed...I just watched it for the first time right now, thinking relatively mundane thoughts through the whole song, then suddenly once the music stoppped:

My take on this song:
- It's "Only You" part 2! Both because of the slow/bouncy intro and the whiteness of the set with the dangly mirror things...but the video also reminds me a bit of two previous grad singles, "Kanashimi Twilight" (camera flashes, wind machine effects) and "Onna to Otoko no Lullaby Game" (white set with square/rectangle motif).
- Speaking of the slow/bouncy intro, I wish the song utilized those slower drums more instead of the usual fast four-on-the-floor kicks used in almost every recent "serious" single--my genre bias for hip-hop/funk aside, it would also serve as a nice change of pace for when they do this kind of song again.
- I also wish they used the visor/ponytail hairstyles like on the cover photos, but the girls look good anyway so whatever.
- Riho's definitely living up to the "Gocchin v2" prediction I made in the 12th album thread! Her voice isn't as high and nasally anymore, starting to develop some power. And Reina sounds better singing with a lower voice. And LOL @ more Sayu-tune™.
- Getting really worried about Aika's absence in the dance parts. She's been restricted for almost a year now.
- The magazine covers were a great touch.
- I still know very little of 10th gen beyond their names!

But seriously, DAT ENDING...

Risa sounded lovely on this track and I'm really gonna miss that voice in future songs...and now I really wish I could afford to go to her grad concert, especially after missing out on Aichan's.

I still haven't seen/heard the entirety of Pyoko Pyoko Ultra yet for proper analysis! I'll work on that...someday.

My two cents about this PV.

I love the song, really do,can't find anything wrong with the song, but as soon as I started watching the PV I saw a lack of, I dunno the proper word for it, but the dancing lacked something, maybe some, uumph. Some kick, some feeling of alive.
Maybe they have to tone it down a notch with all the newbies, but I feel this song deserve a more energetic dance without "wierd" moves, like the crab walk.

And the backdrop could've been something cooler. Like a rooftop in the night. But thats just wishing. ^_^

All the newbies did a great job, but in the pv you can see some of them looking down at their feet to see where they are going and such. But they are soo gorgeous. I think Masaki is going to look really good in a year or so when she's learned how to do stuff "properly". Coming out of that awkward newbie-phase. Riho is already out of it. She's awesome in the PV, her face-shots are really good ans she's not half-assing when it comes to lip syncing.

The last frame with Niigaki makes me cry also..;__; Why you so awesome Risa!?

(Please don't misunderstand me for this, my english isn't that good)

If you do not want to prejudice yourself against the song, watch the Recording version of the PV. THEN you go watch the actual PV. Because I hated the PV so much that it prejudiced me against the song.

Gaki-san is AWESOME beyond AWESOMENESS... And it's good to see her going off with this superb song and PV (dance really could have been better, but she rocks it and makes it better to watch).. I cried in the end... We will miss you, Gaki-san!!!

I love the song, and the video is one of the better ones they've done in a while.
I agree with riOtkittin on the dancing, missing something there but still enjoyable

^ Gotta love them Mario Paint versions, especially when done with the original (emulated) game and not the Composer app.

That was just my roundabout way of saying how lazy I've been with keeping track of some H!P releases lately and the contrast between my relative silence and suddenly making substantial commentary now; I wasn't offended by the chicken outfits or concept as much as some other people were, I simply wasn't excited for the song and my priorites were just elsewhere at the time.
