[2012.08.29] AKB48 - 27th Single "Gingham Check"

[boykun]

Nice PVs!

Gingham Check: Good stuff. Dancing ghouls and criminals were probably my favorite part.

Nante Bohemian: Mocchi looked so fine a good god so fine.

Show Fight: Why can't mjsk3 be like this? Lovetan and Suzuran getting knocked the fuck out was great. Also Moeno looked so fine.

Didn't watch that other one lol

Things I liked about Gingham Check:
- Rena and that knife!(?) (video freezes at that exact frame)

- I liked that Tomo~mi actually has screen time, and that TomoZombie!

- Choreography is very energetic, and I like it.

- I didn't really mind the "cluttered" feeling, as the relationships fit the lyrics, HOWEVER

Things I didn't like:
- The Godzilla thing with Yukirin was just really.. out of place, to say the least.

- Crappy CG The gunshots were kind of (really) bad, as well as the Godzilla thing, can't really blame them
   for that one though.

Even though all of the girls look flawless, like always, I have to admit that I'm a little disappointed of Gingham Check since the only one I saw were Yuko and Mayu. I get that they are first and second place but Yukirin got third and she was barely in the video.

- I didn't like the fact that they used the same people in different "movie" trailers as the main characters,
  for example, we have biker Yuko, officer Yuko, and the two Mayus. Therefore, half the time the PV goes
  Yuko>Yuko, Mayu>Mayu. Makes it seem like a blatant attempt to say that they are that much more important
  than the rest.

Show Fight > Gingham Check > Nanto Bohemian > Yume No Kawa > or = Doremifaso Onchi

Finally got around to watching the other PVs after my high on Show Fight died down.

Gingham Check: I really like the PV and the song has really grown on me, everything is so wacky and the dance though lol

Nante Bohemian: Still don't like the song but that PV gosh how is it that everyone looks so dang gorgeous? 6_9

Doremifa Onchi: Okay song and okay PV, it was nicely shot so that's a given.

Show Fight: Perfection. The End.

My opinion :

The best PV : gingham check. THE BEST AKB PV ever!! The PV is so random but i really enjoy it. really, i'm laughing hard at the first time i watched it. This PV is LOLtastic..

The best song : Show Fight. Damn, i can't get the song out of my head. This is an awesome song!

Just saw all of the MVs of the songs in this single.

I don't even have to say anymore. This release is filled with memories, cuteness, hilarity, elegance, epicness, and sheer badassery.

This is gold guys, GOLD.

Honestly, I think they should have just dropped those dresses if they have no significance to the PV at all.
Go with the biker chick and car devil outfits!
