[07/16] °C-ute - 25th single - The Power / Kanashiki Heaven (Single Version)

I personally don't like Maimai's voice sometimes. Her voice usually breaks and is often unstable in concert performances, so I can understand why she doesn't get as many lines.
I hate how they're continuing "Promotion Versions", this is such a stupid idea. Can we go back to PVs and "other Versions" please? Ugh.
Thats so messed up how if you didnt buy Toki Sora/Password is 0, you'd get a slightly altered version of Password is 0 which is just confusing and annoying to casual fans.

The PV is cool, set is awesome. Really good visuals. I wish there was more Maimi tbh.
Called it, totally knew the PV was going to be good. I like the song, don't love it but still good.

They don't know enough to care.
The difference between 'versions' is so small that those who do know about it don't care about it either.

God I love this PV... whoever is creatively in charge of doing them for C-ute needs to work their magic on other groups. That setting (I love how one major background has fire in the back and the other has water) and those effects

Personally having the specific Promotional Version seems rather silly for me as well... if the difference is miniscule what is the point of doing it at all? And if there are enough differences that there is a point... what if you like the Promotional Version better than the MV on the actual single? What if that's the one you want to own physically? Or looking from the other angle, what if you like the actual MV better and you want to show it to people and you can't because you don't bring your DVD everywhere with you, and then the better MV doesn't get shown on television or in any promotional way so the groups aren't showing their best side. I dunno these things nag at me '

See! even im confused senpai ; o ;

Its promotion versions and now music video version on the dvd. thats just confusing. i just don't understand. if its "another version" just keep it to that then?
thats what it used to be like?

Idk what to call them, but I like the parts like what's at 1:28.

THE TRIPPY PARTS
Someone was high while creating this MV.

Maimai's bitch faces are the best though.
I haven't liked a C-ute MV since... Aitai Aitai Aitai na, and this one I like.

I know I'm told not to put HUGE photos directly into a forum,
so I'll use a spoiler.

Maimi scares me ;-;
(by the way, we need a better way to differentiate "maimi" to "maimai".)


At 3:00 in, Airi's sticking her tongue at the camera all like "no one sees me bc I'm not singing"

"HUGE" means larger than the page layout of the forum itself. If it doesn't blow out the margins, it should be fine.

oh! ok then editting time!

Ahahaha they shot the pv in a balinese restaurant. what
The song doesn't sound at all balinese to me lol, if I had to pick the major influence maybe India? It makes for a great set though, at least more interesting that the usual studio fare, so thumbs up for that.

The song still hasn't grown on me yet but the pv did manage to slightly lower my disappointment for the choreography somewhat, by lessening the focus on it heh.
Go back to the cool, intricate, technical dances please, you can leave the weird, eccentric movements and poses to Berryz. But for a (hopefully) one-time thing I suppose it's okay... for now.
