EDIT: Footage from the actual show (Fukuchan and Harunan make a guest appearance) where they show the announcement of the winner.
*Don't be surprised if it needs 10-15 seconds to buffer before it starts to play. Be patient.
20141229 「THEビッグチャンス」 譜久村聖 & 飯窪春菜EDIT 2: Now, after having a chance to watch them individually, some thoughts on each of the entries...
Entry Blue - It was done well, but it was pretty plain in terms of PV fare. Other than the shots where we got the "camera viewer" POV, nothing about it really stood out. Not a lot to write about it, so (if I were one of the judges) there's really not a lot that made me think it deserved to be the winning entry.
Entry Red - A good blend of what we usually look for in a PV and random bits of randomness.
Personally, I loved the bits with the steak (Duu's cutting it to the beat of the music and then Fukuchan stealing it and the others running after her WITH the table
). I also liked that the ending shot (where Fukuchan getting the bug at the end with the newspaper and then showing Yasshii, who gave a "eww" look) wasn't just a plain "ending shot", if that makes sense.
Oh, and who was that during what I'm calling the "giant body shot" right below the "floating steak shot"?
I'm betting it's either Yasshii or Ayuyu.
Entry Green - The most mature, and dare I say, the most "artsy" of the 3 entries. Showing the song's title in English at the beginning was a nice touch, and having the entire thing done in greyscale is definitely different. I didn't understand the use of the rain effect, but it kinda worked (at the very least, I'm not going to complain about it
). If anything, and this may sound odd, but I think this one had too much dance footage.
