Anyone For Hot Peppers? Part II  (Groove Music Life)
Pepper Keibu and other covers  (Resonant Blue)
Pepper Keibu Full PV  (Hello!Blog)

And the Pepper Keibu reviews keep-a-rollin’…

CJ is “knocked out” by the new song and PV.  And like me, he has no problem whatsoever with Reina being front and center.  CJ wonders if Cover Yuu is indeed MoMusu’s 9th Album, then will all of the post Sexy 8 Beat singles be left without a long-play CD?  More importantly, he sees the cover album as cementing Morning Musume’s place in Japanese music history.  Wow!  That’s a bold statement.

Indigo is usually very skeptical about song covers.  But she fell in love with the song, which is all the more incredible since she doesn’t like the original version by Pink Lady!  Indigo has already preordered the CD, and hopes we will see multiple versions of the PV.  Her only complaint is the lack of JunJun face time.  And I am beginning to agree.  JunJun is becoming so cute it’s going to be increasingly tough to keep her in the background forever.

Tom sees this song as a brilliant move by H!P, and an almost guaranteed #1 hit for Morning Musume.  He loves the feel of the PV, and is liking the outfits and dance routine.  Mittsi is the standout performer for Tom, and he loves Sayu’s little solo line toward the end.  He has posted both Pink Lady and Momusu’s version for a little side by side comparison.

So it seems like the consensus just loves this song.  I’m glad my little review didn’t make it on here as I wasn’t nearly as complimentary as everyone else.  I guess I’ll go back and rewatch the PV with a new set of eyes and ears.
