The song is kinda weak... Compared to Genki+ or Egao Yes nude or kanashimi twiligh this is weak... And the PV looks like it's more: Koharu Kusumi & MoMusume, she's almost in every 3rd shot on the video.

Finally, a bit of production value in a MM single PV. We haven't had that since...Ambitious! I was getting tired of the repetitive "Dance Shots intercut with individual members looking sexy at camera" PVs that have been plaguing MM for some time now. They still do it here, but not to the same extent and the focus is more on being cute than appearing sexy, and like I said, the production value has gone up a bit, even though it's CG.
However, I find the song to be rather weak for a single; it's just not catchy at all and doesn't have a "hook" that makes you remember the song or make you want to turn up the volume when you here it being played. It sounds more like a weak album track than a single.
Still, the girls look cute as always and the dance, though simplistic in terms of choreography, is cute. Love the childhood pictures. LinLin's was particularly cute.

Nice and catchy song. Not up THERE, but still good.
Aichan: As much as I love her, I wish she wouldn't get all the "good" lines. She's completely overshadowing everyone else in the group.
Risa: What the hell is Gakisan doing waaaay in the back?? She's not a freakin backdancer!!
Kamei: Awesome, you made it to the front-row :D
Sayu: Don't get how Sayu made it to the front-row as well, but congrats.
Mitssi: Mitssi gets ALL MY LOVE. She's like everywhere in the video. AND she's right in the center during the dance shots.
Lin Lin: How did the cute little girl turn into that scary witch...
Jun Jun: Finally Jun Jun is showing us more than one facial expression. She's actually kinda cute :]
Reina (surprisingly) and Koharu (not so surprisingly) are kind of annoying throughout the entire PV. But this is of course just my opinion..lol
Love the idea with the childhood pictures.. The dance is awesome as well. Nevertheless, this PV again looks really cheap made. I was hoping for something special because after all, this is their 35th single and it is released almost exactly 10 years after Ai no Tane (released 11/03/97), which would make Mikan their 10th anniversary single, or so I had imagined.
It's not like UFA doesn't have any money left for MM. I'm guessing MM is still bringing in the most cash and °C-ute or Berryz, who's CDs sell maybe half the amount of MM, get one kickass PV after another.

The song is O.K but I feel it's to weak I can't even remember how the tune goes lol theres something missing and I don't think it would ever be replaced...:<
Why is the PV so centred around Koharu (Even placed in the middle)? I like Koharu but c'mon to be honest she isn't exactly a 'great' vocalist compared to other mm members. I don't know why the arrangement is like this. Risa's the sub leader and she doesn't even get half as much time infront of camera. Momusu should be treated seperately as a group, not as 'Koharu and the other musume' she already has an album and a couple of singles under her belt not to mention in another unit!,keep it seperate!just cause she sell doing the whole 'kirarin Revolution' thing doesn't mean people who listen to MM are listening to it cause Koharu's in it!

Aw, everyone seems to be so negative! I've been dying for this PV ever since the radio rip came out and I must say, I really wasn't disappointed. Finally, a video with a little more creativity in it. Having the girls lie on the Earth was a cute tie-in to their recent economic awareness concert. And the idea for the pictures was genius, the girls looked so cute. Reina's hair was curly even way back when!
I have to say, Tsunku's definitely going for a more mature look these days. All the girls, including Sayu and Mittsi, look much older. The rest of the singles this year have also been a little more mature. I suppose that's because songs like "Koko ni Iruzee" wouldn't sell nowadays, what with urban and rock music becoming more and more popular. Aside from that, I do like the way Momusu is leaning. It's different and I hope it draws in new fans.
I only have one complaint about this, and really the more recent PV's. As much as I love Aichan, she and Koharu are getting a lot of attention. Tsunku really needs to start spreading the love around a little more evenly. I know most groups "technically" need a "lead" singer, but Aichan, like SpngBb said, gets all the good lines, and Koharu is -everywhere-. Although props to Sayu and Eri for finally making it out of the back row. Eri is such a great singer and dancer, she deserves a little of that attention, come on, Aichan, share!
All in all, (ha, this is really long ^^U) I loved this PV and I can't wait for the single so I can put it on my iPod. I hope we can all look forward to.. oh my God, ninth gen next year! We're almost out of the single digets! Scary, ne?
Edit: Yes, I've noticed Koha and Ai getting a lot attention before, but it's been even more prominent since Miki and Yossie left the group. XP

Finally, a PV with more than alternating shots between closeups and dancing in a studio. That alone is enough for this to get a thumbs up in my book.

I like their outfits on the cover!
I also love this song and PV. The baby pictures part was adorable. (^_^)
I agree 100% with ForlornAngel. Aichan got way too many lines (as always...<_< T_T) and Koharu got way too much attention. Koharu's not even a good singer. Tsunku should be more even with the attention and the lines.
Although I'm not a huge Mittsi fan, she sounded really good in this single! =D Sayu made some improvements as well, I think.
I wish there was more Eri. More pandas too. I <3 those three.
And Risa! Risa's SUB-LEADER. She really needs more lines, her voice is so pretty~
Reina got a bit more attention, which was nice, but like I said, things should be more evenly split amongst all the girls.
I'm considering buying this single.

Oh, huzzah, a happy song! It's still all techno-y, though. I miss the good old days... ah well.
I really like the song; it's the first one I've liked since Egao, although Momusu still feels incredibly empty now. It just doesn't feel like a family anymore; like all the heart is gone.
I like the song, and the PV is all right, although the dancing is weak and all over the place. Those outfits are also about as atrocious as the Ambitious ones. Yeeks. Koharu looked like a terrifying little child in that picture (and she pretty much looks exactly the same? How'd she pull that off?), Japanese 8th gen is COMPLETELY lackluster in front of the camera, Risa's not getting enough camera time for my comfort, but JunJun and LinLin are looking adorable. <3
Anyway, aside from Koharu (and Takahashi) having far too much screen time, I suppose this is a pretty good single. I liked Koha back when she was little with flat hair and had nothing to do. I think she's letting fame get to her head, and I'm a little sick of it. A lot sick of it.
@ForlornAngel: They ARE GETTING a lot of attention? You just now noticed?! :P

It seems like a pretty weak song after Onna ni Sachi Are, but after listening to it a couple times it kind of grows on you. The chorus is repetitive but the lyrics work well with it. What I'm really loving is the regular single cover though. No more heads lining up in really weird outfits~ The concept for the PV is cute too. I'm happy to see a lot of my favorite members getting more air time, and I can't wait for the lives + talks for this single.

This is my favourite PV so far. I loved the effects, colours, & everything. I'm happy Jun Jun got a good bit of camera time. I thought she was the cutest in this PV, also with Risa and Reina. I also thought the baby pictures were a good idea 'cause I've been wanting to know what they looked like when they were younger.
Sadly, I had to listen to this without sound since I'm at school. I can't wait to get home.

I knew I had my expectations set too high when I was hoping for an AKB48-esque PV--I mean, I really honestly truly like this PV and its an improvement with the atmosphere and all, but there's still part of me left wondering "Why hasn't MM gotten PVs like so-and-so?"
The part where the members are laying down, the glittery effects, and the close ups are definitely the highlights of the PV. Overall, I really like it--in fact, it's my favorite PV this year.
I'm happy with the song because of how energetic it is, but I'm slightly disappointed with the dance, just a little. I feel like the energy of the song didn't really correspond with it at times.
Also, I really like how the members finally look like a new MM, not just remnants of MM or whatever. I feel like the members look close in the PV and in the covers--even if thats just something they did for the whole image, I just really feel like MM has finally formed around the members that are there NOW.

this one was perfect for me..they finally mastered the hair and makeup for rin rin and everyone looks So cool!!! Ai was actually the first one that caught my attention because of this and the choker on jun jun just put her look over the top! i did find it amusing though of how koha had to go from one song w/ "chance" in it straight to another XD nice to meet you everyone!! time to go watch the vid again ^^

Im not liking the song so much, but I love the PV. The song itself dont seem to be as catchy as the other songs were, but I like the fact that the PV looks different. I also love the costumes...I dont know, but it kinda reminded me of ROMAN~My Dear Boy~ costume. Lately, their PVs tend to remind me something from their old songs. I mean it in a good way though =D
Koharu's getting more camera time again. lol. And Im glad they finally separated LinLin & JunJun and mixed them with the other members in this PV. I thought those two were gonna be meant to be "twin-like" forever..lol.

the song is good but the video needs some work. Its kinda weird having them mostly sitting down and laughing and having a lot of close up shots when the song is this catchy. There should be more energetic dance move shots. Kamei was so cute when she was a little. :)

Man, I must admit it's a bit disappointing that such a genki song doesn't have a PV that can match its energy. Somehow the way that they dance to the buildup in the chorus is just not suitable. Also, as a subleader why is Gaki-san being treated like a backdancer?
PS. Gaki-san's new nickname...Expression Queen! She did have the best facial expressions in the PV.
PSS. Lin2's baby picture is the best among all of them.
EDIT: its starting to grow on me...

I tried not to listen to the single too much so I could get the "full impact" with the PV, and...I'm satisfied.
Truthfully, I was hoping for something a little more epic a la Tokaikko Junjou; this song could have handled (and possibly deserved) that kind of treatment, but at least it's a step in the right direction. It could have used more colour and craziness to reflect the AWESOME single covers, though. Silver & black = meh, and those shots of them lying down seriously killed the momentum at some points.
The best part was the groups of 3 - those were some really unusual combinations, but they worked so well together! Kind of reminiscent of Do It Now, in that sense. The trios got the energy of the song across so much better than the standard closeups, and made the girls finally feel like a cohesive, united group. I wasn't seeing generations or lead singers, I was seeing Morning Musume.
HOORAY for Junjun breaking out of her shell, and LOL @ Linlin at 3:51. 8th gen ROCKS.

Nostalgic (baby pics, lying down like in Ai Araba, Souda-ish dance) and genki.. how cannot that be win. After three mature PVs this is very refreshing.
I agree with all the comments that say there's too much Koharu. She's already a soloist, and there are other people in MM you know.
