Im annoyed by the lack of China in an A-side about China.
Red lights? Red lights of Golden Chinatown? Ummmmmmmm this just has a seriously negative connotation to it.
If Berryz are still trying to take off and improve, I'll have to overlook this single.

Agree, it's only the dance shot but it looks completely un-Chinatown-like.

I actually prefer it like this. Knowing UFP, thy'd either use kinda awesome background like in Help me!!, or a really cheap one like Kono Machi (the actual MV). To don't want to break my computer screen for crappy chinatown-ish background.

Did you completely skip over the "chaina" parts in the lyrics?

Red has a different meaning in Asia than it does in the US. Red stands for good luck, so red lights protect you from bad spirits. It doesn't connote prostitution district, if that's what you're thinking.

Yeah I know in China, red is often a symbol for good luck. But its a different shade of red.
But seriously,

And again we're basing a whole MV off a 5sec preview.
Honestly, I wouldn't even have thought of prostitution if you hadn't brought it up. And I say this after having written an essay (and read numerous of articles) about prostitution just two days ago so it's still pretty fresh in my mind.

True. Imagine if the red screens end up aligning to make some sort of dragon or something

also the costumes remind me of Flying ghetto.
