[11/28] S/mileage 12th single : Samui ne.

[Sohee]

Not happy with the lack of dance shot in this. ._.; Should be renamed "Lonely version." Or just give us a another version with the dance in it. I really wanna see the dance so much gdi. ):
Disliking the tails so much idek.
Kana looked really great in her "drama" shots, where she didn't look into the camera. Same with Rina.
Ayaka is so gorgeous idek. Kanon is adorable and it's weird to think she's just one year younger than Ayaka.
Meimi looked great in her drama shots too, if only she wouldn't be such a brat.
Takechan is flawless.

The song is still great though. Loving the lyrics. Chorus is the best part imo. And then the 大サビ (whatever it is called, Kanon's solo part of the chorus towards the end?) that part is awesome.

Pretty PV
i dont like the song at all. it has good moments but its too slow for me.
grower and i have to be in a mood.

I too wanted to see the dance, especially since I love the costumes, but overall I didn't feel the PV lacked anything and I'm sure we'll get a dance shot anyway. This song is incredible, the PV is so awesome, the girls look fantastic.

this sure is a crap ass video and i really want SOME DANCE SCENES buuttttt i am so in love with this song. omg. meimei. kanyon. omg. i love even takechan here.

MORE THAN ONE COSTUME YESSSSS!!!!!!
that's all i ever ask for H!P, is it really so hard? good job here.

i didn't expect it to be treated so thoroughly as a ballad that the main PV wouldn't have a dance shot.. but okay. i like it. made me like the song more!

the positives:
- girls looked amazing. Takechan homg, depressed is an amazing look on her.
- "staring at my necklace" isn't quite a story, but it's a step up from the usual. yay!
- camera work for the close-ups was great.
- love the background colors.
- the whole thing gives the song more drama. made me like it more!

but this comes with its share of negatives:
- the sailor outfits really, really do not go. maybe if they had used the white dresses instead and just used the sailor outfits for the dance?
- there was some weird camera movement in the shots with the sailor outfits, the way it panned down in a jerky way. looked like a mistake but then it kept happening. wtf make it stop.
- the set in the sailor shots was lack luster.. wished the hanging squares looked better. or that there were more spaced out and took up the whole bg. there needed to be something more to it but i can't quite put my finger on what it is that bothers me.
- Kananan is not convincing trying to be serious. this surprised me because if i had to guess on who would not fit, i would have thought MeiMei.
- needs a dance shot.

i guess most of my negatives are in the shot with the sailor outfits.. if those shots were replaced with something else it would have been 90% better.

edit: worded a couple things weirdly.

To be fair...

- "staring at my necklace" isn't quite a story, but it's a step up from the usual. yay!

This is a reference to the line in the song (chorus) that goes something like "Is it okay not to prove (our) love with physical things?". Don't remember the line exactly right now but that's it, and that's that necklace in this video. So there's a reason for it...?

Loving this song though. And Ayaka and Takechan pwns it for me in terms of looks and just generally... awesome. Yes.
This song, unf.

OK now i'm jumping on the "Sailor outfits needs to go" train. It feels like they mistakenly slipped a design for a concert outfit into one of the early promotional shots and decides to run with it
All the girls looked great on the close up shots actually, yes even my least favorites of current h!P
The song is ok i guess... a little bit forgettable for me unfortunately

[Jessi]

OMFG So close to perfection and those stupid colorful salior moon power ranger outfits ruined the whole thing. Those white dresses in the PV are PERFECT for the song. Replace that standing around the room shot with the exact same thing just in white dresses and then add like one more scene whether it be a dance shot or a shot of them doing just about anything and this PV and single would have been my favorite of the year! S/mileage has thoroughly disappointed me this year and it really bothers me because 4 nin s/mileage had a moment where I loved them more than Berryz and C-ute...

I noticed those weird jerky camera shots during the sailor outfit scenes, it was annoying. The PV is pretty but there should be SOME dance. I was hoping at least there would be a dance scene during the instrumental break.

The sailor outfits would have worked if they danced in them, instead of just sitting/standing there in them. It really annoys me.

HOWEVER everyone looks really good, even Rina.

I still love the song, but I more than likely won't be watching the PV again unless Tsoonk comes out with a dance shot version or an alternate PV that includes some choreography.

[Panic Nancy]

Takechan looks super amazing, but I'm really not feeling this song or the MV. And this is the second time in a row where the outfits don't match what they're doing.
