According to Twitter the PV for "Doki! Doki! Baby" is supposed to be uploaded to YouTube on December 10.
撮影終わりましたっ。今日撮ったMVは12月10日にYouTubeにUPされる予定です。お楽しみにーっさてさて,明日も早起き。5時起きっとりあえず早くお風呂入らなければっ

She's been asking fans questions on Twitter during filming.
- She asked about two umbrellas for the video, and which one fans liked more.
- When they were filming in a gaming center she asked which UFO catcher she should go to; one with candy, one with stuffed animals, or one with anime figurines.
- She seems to have asked about a pair of shoes (pumps) as well?

I don't understand this video, lol.

At first I was like, YEAH AKIHABARA MAYBE I'LL RECOGNIZE SOME PLACES, then it ended up being just geisha spotting and extreme close-ups of Manoeri's face. o-o I mean, it's a nice face, but wut.

Nice Moritaka Chisato throwback with the costume.

Manoeri's songs are usually hit or miss for me and this one falls into the miss category. I tend to prefer her more "mature" sounding songs, like Haru no Arashi/Onegai dakara/Kono mune no toki wo so I'm hoping Tasogare Kousaten will have that kind of sound instead.

2ch is also saying the costume very Moritaka Chisato-like.

For comparison:

I was wondering whether they'd gone totally away from her oldschool-ish image, but now I guess I have my answer.

Now I'm really curious about who wrote this song.

Actually, thinking about it a bit more, the geishas w/ electronics imagery kind of makes more sense now.
Manoeri is a modern idol drawing on the more traditional parts of idol history.

Liked when she had the old timey pipe, put it into her mouth, and it was a bubble blower instead of a real pipe.......and also her back dancers are part of the story this time, so that is cool..........and she is a cosplaying fan anyway, so goofing off in Akihabara must have been fun for Erina....

Tasogare Kousaten will be for a short drama.

I feel like I'm in the minority for people who really liked the song

I was hesitant about it at first, but I got into it quick. The PV in general was alright for me, nothing amazing, but at least it didn't look cheap and thrown together. Her outfit made up for it~

I'm really excited for this single.

First of all, Double-A always excites me. Also Doki Doki Baby is such a good song and the PV is so cute!

Recently all her songs have been slower after Genkimono so its nice to have a cheerful song. Can't wait to see a dance shot if they have one, and if not a live.

Updated the first post with larger covers (and the first preview of the single V cover)

Before the info on these songs was available, I was wondering who the heck wrote them.
Turns out, they're both written by a guy named Honjou Ryou.

Who's that?
Well, after a little searching, I found out he wrote several songs for THE Possible under TNX, including this one:

The part around 0:40 sounds an awful lot like the opening for Doki Doki Baby.
