[09/15] Mano's 8th Single - Genkimono de Ikou!

[winner]

Genkimono sounds like a dream job.

Going around cheering random people (by smacking 'em in the face). With the company of Mano-tamer.

[Slack]

Reminds me of that DS Oendan Game.

Maybe tomorrow I'll do a photo recap of the second story, cause y'know...
...it's kinda hard to explain.

[cool_kickin_dude]

wait, there's actually two stories?

how is that possible? man I wish I had that single(or a youtube clip of her singing the b-side from LA)

[Slack]

Finally got around to doing the second story.


The 47-year-old television producer.
"I'm home~"


"Did everyone leave?"


On the table are some drinks, instant noodles and a note.
Note: The drink and noodles are some of the commercial tie-ins for this PV.


"Happy birthday!"
"It was late so conversely"
"Here's a list of things we want."

The guy comes home to an empty house ON HIS BIRTHDAY and his family expects him to give them presents?
How messed up is that?
The note doesn't make too much sense to me either.


Anyway, the son wants an iPad,
the daughter wants an English cocker spaniel,
and the mom wants one of these:


"It's my birthday..."


Genkimono!


"So I'll give myself a present."
*glug glug*

Do you see where this is going?


"Huh!?"


"JYAAN"
"EEH!?"


That's right! Genkimono-tamer Mano-chan (Chinese ver.) and her Genkimono appear!
"Ni hao ma!"


"FIGHTING SPIRIT!"


"Don't lose to the situation!"

But just like the last guy, he doesn't get it until...



"YEAH!"

Is it really that easy to get pumped up?


"GENKI!"

...I guess so.


So Mano-chan commands him to "Go to the second floor!"
"Go!"

So he does...


and wakes up the family.

But why?


He gathers them around and I guess he says to his son to use him instead of an iPad.
...by giving him a massage?


*rub rub rub rub*
"That's good~"

So then he says to the daughter:

"Since you wanted a pet, Papa's become a cocker spaniel arf!"
"Dad.."


"ARF ARF ARF ARF"
"Dad's cute!"
"Dear.."

...Well at least that one made some sense, I suppose.
And now for the kicker...


"MAMA! INSTEAD OF A RODEO MACHINE, RIDE ME!"

...so she does.


"whir whir"
"I love you.."

But it looks like someone's been watching all this.


"Alright!"

So, with that randomness out of the way, they go for a more conventional birthday party.


"Cheers!"


Mano:"I'm so glad."
Genkimono:"They all look so happy."


"WHO THE HECK ARE YOU GUYS!?"

And so, they walk off into the night...

*whip cracks*
"WAAH!"


*whip cracks*
"EEK!"


Next time:

Behind the scenes of Mano Erina "directing" the PV!

I may also upload the CM tie-ins at some later time.

[Slack]

Looks like the actors from this PV went to see the theater show Manoeri is in.
You may recognize the guy who was the Genkimono, the section chief (right), and the birthday father (white hat).
I don't recognize who the other two are though.

[Meania]

Ohhh so THAT's what's going on there

I guess it's H!P's way of getting in a rude joke/scene without any controversy

[Mizu_D3]

[SarangAi]

anybody know who the four eggs are? i know one of them is akari, who can miss that lovely girl?

[winner]

^Takeuchi Akari, Saho Akari, Kikkawa Yuu, and Satou Ayano.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

[J-Triumf]

Awesome video...and awesome play-by-play from Slack! The randomness goes well with the upbeat nature of the song.

Now here's the full version of the B-side, "Uchi e Kaerou / Returning Home" (ending theme for her movie Kai-Ki)...very smooth and relaxing, with a really cute/amusing second verse.
