[11/21] 「 Mikan 」 Morning Musume 35th Single

[herachan]

Omg

Kamei wins 

baby kamei looks like YUI

[applebee]

Well i´m not a big fan of japanese videos, most of them are sooo low budget...

Are you kidding me? Japanese music videos (mostly avex and sony) have the most expensive videos in Asia and might as well the rest of the world except the U.S. If you are the 2nd biggest music industry in the world, there's little room to be cheap. On the other hand, you must be watching those music videos from small recording companies.

I like the PV. It hearkens back to the old-school H!P PVs which also used a lot of greenscreening effects. The childhood pictures were also a nice touch.

The song is growing on me, too. ^^

[Mikitan]

this PV just saved me from givin up MM xD

[Rick-e]

There are neon lights around the camera to make it look like that, We could see how they made in one of the ZYX making of if I remember well. Well it's only lights in the shape of what they want around the camera, nothing more.

Oh and that CIRCLE in the girls eyes are lights indeed, is a circle of lights and is very strong it can be used close but not too much time... i don´t like the effect it put the girls eyes like with bad contacs

I see! that's interesting how they thought out these things xD
hmm I actually like the effect it gives to the girls' eyes ^_^

btw anyone noticed how fast they switched koharu's face when they're showing the baby pic? (it's around 1:58)
all the other girls were shown doing something before their baby pic was shown but Koharu's was like, her face didn't even show for half a second xD

yeah, me too ~     one of the reason I like close up ~

............... because there is already tooooooo much Koha in the PV ??        LOL

[shurastriker]

in the video Sayumi remembers me to Maki Goto... don´t know why but in she does ^^U maybe is because she looks terrific sometimes cute and sometimes sexy.

there is too much Koha? i barely notice it (wich is good) but it will be better with more Kamei.

oh and aika´s baby pic... i was imaging a granny voice saying MY puppy!!!

Pd: just realize i´ve got a problem with music videos... just say that youtube is not my favorite web and that i rarely saw mtv better shut up

[ferrar1]

This vid is so "Nogashita Sakana Wa Ookizo!" ish

same 3 members stance, same kind of lightings, use of CG. i bet the producers are the same.

Nooooooot that i'm hating it though. The song is so so (yet... maybe i'd grow into it) but the use of baby pics was a killer turnaround. The huuuuge amount of close ups was a win as well.

Without these 2, i'd have given the PV a 1/10

Does MTV really play music videos? I thought it was all about "reality" shows and freak shows. I see videos there once or twice a day 

[Matyeu]

This vid is so "Nogashita Sakana Wa Ookizo!" ish

Funny, I saw it more like "Ambitious". How we all saw them as baby reminded me how they were breaking their images, the use of the green screen like in the car part and the choreography was similar in some points.

[Jupibell140]

HAHA! Aika looked EXACTLY THE SAME when she was a kid!

Making a broken record here, but the baby pictures were awesome. Kinda random, but awesome. Also loved the outfits.

Not really liking the song yet, but I dig the PV. Lots of silver.

Junjun~ *_*

[Parhelion69]

This part is awesome:



Leader is gorgeous!! 

I like this PV, and this song a lot, but I still think the previous 3 singles are better (but I rate EYN, KT and ONSA in the top 10 MM songs, so they're hard to beat)

Koharu looks cool on the dancing, specially raising her leg while doing that little hop, Reina is beautiful as ever, Sayumi still has the prettiest face in japan IMHO, linlin looks great but junjun doesn't look that good tbh. Eri is a front girl, yeah!!! Too little mamechan though >_<. Aika is looking better everytime... she's gonna be a hottie.

I think the CG was cheap, but it did the job. The girls looking gorgeous definitely made the PV. I'm still amazed at how good aichan is looking, cool and sexy, and her smile at 1:44 is LEGENDARY, I  her.

The song is catchy and has really mature lyrics, posted by ampedechoz in JPM, but translation credit goes to Ruler of Takamagahara:

On a bright morning wow wow chance. OH YEAH, you'll get a chance.
On the morning you begin your jorney. OH YEAH, you'll get a chance.
No matter how many times I've come to see my dream, I can't bring myself to give up on it.
Women or men, it's the same for both.
Being born in a loving planet, meeting someone you can love.
You have less than a century to accomplish that.
There are moments when you're sad, moments when you're happy, become a kind person. OH YES!
You only have one life to fall in love
A smile is the door through which good fortune comes LOVE IS ONE TIME
In order to live, you should, like a new crying newborn baby,
be as innocent as when you were born.

No matter how many times you stumble because of love, you always raise up.
It's the same no matter whether you're an adult or a beginner[first time doing this could also work].
When I first fell in love and didn't know what to do, I listening to a song loudly.
Because you're poor at it, it's all the more precious. OH YES!

Live this life positively, a gathering of smiling people, LIFE IS ONE TIME
Today or tomorow, everyday is 24 hours long
No matter whom, everyone gets embraced by the morning sunshine.

I just realized the baby pic they used for Koharu is the same one(I'am sure it is) they used on one H!M show, the 30th single special one.  Not trying to make a 'dee dee dee' moment here, lol. 

[Trey]

I like the PV a lot
Everyone looks so nice.. and the lights-in-eyes thing is just.. wow *_*
The outfits are great too.
The close-ups on LinLin reminds me of Ayaka a lot~ >_>

[herachan]

this PV just saved me from givin up MM xD

[eynjel18]

The PV is good and the music is catchy. And the baby pics are cool.

so ...... it's "Nogashita Sakana Wa Ookizo!" + "Ambitious" + "Furusato" ??

[Mikitan]

this PV just saved me from givin up MM xD

really? wow!

maybe i have to listen more to it.

yeah!! ;DD
'cause at first when I heard the song I thought it was nothin special.. but now it's just growing! I love the refrain! and I love Aichan's and Reina's sololines  I'm so happy xD since when Miki left I have been rather anti MM xDDD but now after this.. well, I'm happy again xD  tomorrow I'm gonna order all versions of this and Onna ni sachi are 

[invisname]

I haven't been around for a couple days, but I'm really excited about the PV! I mean I was in wonder for so long and seeing it when it came out I was very happy with what I saw!

1. It has baby pictures, which is awesome!
2. The colors are sparklie but still pleasant, very nice
3. The eye effects... the way they set up the lights to reflect in their eyes... @_@ my goodness!
4. The mikan in the background... cute and yet not distracting (or odd like Ootsuka Ai's peach...><)
5. Good close up moments, all of them have a moment of maximum cuteness!
6 and the most important: it makes me happy and cheers me up!

Of course its not the perfect song musically and I'm sure the PV doesn't help everyone, but for me... I'm  .
