Recommended reading. Let’s see… Takitty gets a lot of love, Reina gets called a whore in a few different contexts, and people seem generally more happy with the screentime distribution – and have mostly forgotten the uneven line distribution. There’s also a good deal of thought on how much this version reflects the realities of idol life, which is always fun to read.

Our own Celestia anticipates the “why isn’t this the regular version” question and likes the focus on Reina, though comparing her tunnel scenes to “AKB48’s prostitution song”.

Strawberrie notes where the single with this version of the pv can be purchased.

Andra has love for Takitty in her workout scenes, while also paying homage to her favorite (former) Musumes in the same post.

Valentine likes the attention eighth gen receives while noting how sexy Reina is in her tunnel scene.

Yoshimi calls Reina out as an attention whore but finds herself liking Takitty more. She also points out how self-aware the story is for this version of the PV.

Our own CJ theorizes that the original version of the PV was released first to emphasize the quality of this single, and wishes close-up shots of Reina started sooner in the video.

Insanity searches for the emotional core of the song and finds it in Reina’s role in the PV.

And our own pengie wonders if Reina’s supposed to be a streetwalker while pondering how this video tries to show the character of each idol in the line-up. From there, she sees her own motive in the PV, which may actually work with what CJ talks about. First make the song stand out, then make the girls more accessible to their potential audience?

All that said, I now have this vision of Reina working the tunnels and having CHUDs for johns.
