In Topic: [11/10] Berryz Kobo 24th Single "Shining Power"

25 October 2010 - 04:25 PM

I'm actually surprised that I enjoyed that LQ preview. I'm still not really feeling the song, though. I will say that, yes, Yurina looks absolutely gorgeous (though so does Captain), but I'm not taken with Miya, Chinami or Risako because of the stupid things they have on their heads. I wish there had been more shots of them actually playing ping pong and not just standing around with the paddles. Granted, it wouldn't have been as awesome as a certain Country Musume PV with hitting balls back and forth just because of the budget H!P uses nowadays, but it's Berryz! Maasa could have owned that section, at least. I like some of the outfits, but I feel like H!P never really hits their stride in these outfits that are similar-looking-but-still-different because they're too busy making the outfits discernable from one another that they don't always make them attractive for the girl who will be wearing them. (I like Chinami's the best, though.) I'm looking forward to seeing the PV in HQ now, though, so we're making progress with me liking this single.

I'm really not feeling the new single much. I'll hold out for the PV to see how I feel about that. But, the song is a bit too repetitive, not hard-hitting enough, and there is WAY too much Yurina for me as she has my least favorite voice in the group. I do have high hopes for the B-side, though. It seems like it'll be a ballad, and Berryz has a pretty good track record that if I don't like the A-side as much, I'll love the B-side.

For those of you have problems playing your Berryz songs on your mp3 players... it's likely because you have the song names in Japanese. Even the ones with English names, half the time, are done in a different font than your reader is used to, so it often just rejects those songs outright. Try renaming them on your computer and then loading them on again and see if it works.

In Topic: [06/30] H!P Revival Shuffle Units Compilation Singles

Why does anyone still care about the naming of these groups? All of the names except for Aa! are different from the previous groups anyway, and since Reina is better in High-King, let the Egg be in Aa! since she kills it more than most girls would (even if her nose bothers me for some reason). It wouldn't be H!P if members didn't change. Heck, if *styles* didn't change! Tanpopo# is staying true to the style roots of gen 2 Tanpopo, but their new music so far is straying from both previous gens. Zoku Biyuuden is going for early Biyuuden, mostly, but they're starting to crack into the lingerie attire a bit, and ONLY YOU *felt* like a Viyuuden song to me. Buono! isn't there for the same reason Guardians 4 isn't... they're anime units, not shuffle units. Granted, I only really like 3 of the shuffle units (Aa!, High-King and Zoku Biyuuden) but let's not complain too much about names when that isn't really important at all. What's important is that H!P will probably give us horrible costuming and PVs for all of these but maybe some pretty awesome songs with decent line distribution.

After watching all of the solo version shots, I wonder what the girls were told to thing/do when they weren't actively singing. Because, they seem to go back and forth between staring off into the distance like they're high and acting like they're in a photoshoot. All of them! Though, Captain to me is the best. Even her goofy-looking bits were pretty, and the rest really shows that Captain needs to have about 4 PBs this year because then we'll all very happily go broke and then UFA can afford to buy the girls a background for their next PV.
