Bikkuri Project

I seriously doubt I have anything new or interesting to say about Morning Musume’s new “Pepper Keibu” PV, but new Morning Musume PVs only come out so often, so I’m going to go ahead and comment anyway.

Sorting into positives and negatives seemed to work well last time, so I’ll be doing that again.

+ The girls all look hot. These are some of the best PV costumes MM has ever had.

+ The line distribution is even to the point of being methodically calculated. The best part of this is that for once I don’t have to read people’s complaints about the line distribution.

+Koharu doesn’t have any solo lines to ruin the song and Morning Musume’s credibility with. Yessssssssssss

+The dancing and music at the bridge is cool

+It’s also cool when the new dance beats kick in after the introduction

+There’s harmonizing! The part with JunJun and Risa harmonizing is easily my favorite part of the song and PV

-The dancing is kind of cheesy at parts. I realize that they’re doing the original choreography for a lot of it and it’s a sort of homage, but that doesn’t make it any less simple and cheesy, and I don’t think any of the girls really know what to do with that weird knee thing

-They stuck Koharu and Sayumi together for duet lines…why?

-Stating the ovbious: the PV is just a dance shot. They really couldn’t have thrown in a few closeup shots or something? I suppose another version of the PV with 5 different types of scenes will be released eventually, right?

-Who decided Mittsi should always wear her bangs pulled straight back? She looks much better with them down

-They paired the pandas for their duet section. It’s not that I don’t like them singing together, but it seems like they’re always paired together for this kind of thing. Why can’t they mix it up a little bit?

-The song is pretty repetitive, isn’t it?

Six pluses and six minuses. Guess I’m going to have to wait for some live performances before I can call this one for one side or the other.

See you,
