The what is love MV is in here!!!!

(I wish it were different though)

What is LOVE? pv

[otaku_blue]

really disappointed with the what is love mv....
i didnt think i wouldnt like it as much but i actually do not like it so much...
i know they were trying to copy those concert styled akb pvs but the camerawork wasn't nearly as good.

i really hope the last a-side is better. i feel sad lol. i really love what is love now, i've been repeating the radio rip heaps cause the chorus is awesome.

i also really dont like how the girls say one four. but they look so pretty in their kimonos

also lmao that the what is love dance shot is basically going to be the one camera version from the other episode. wow.

Spoiler: show

it just pains me that the girls are all sweaty like this and its not better than the concert footage that was uploaded a few weeks ago and it certainly doesn't do all the intense dance formations justice at all, nor do we get decent screentime of the girls. there was a lot of awkward close-ups as well which was weird.

Sayumi even challenged the AKB fans and it was supposed to show off the MM wotas but it didnt.

Here's HKT48's Melon Juice PV that is very similar. http://vid48.com/watch_video.php?v=9MA4WH83XUO1

Feels like this MV lost in terms of Sayumi's challenge, it didn't show much of the wotas at all. Like if its just the lights how does that compare to any other group?

This is even worse than Chokkan 2 ugh.

Egao no Kimi wa Taiyou sa is a grower song that has an awesome PV.

What is LOVE? is an amazing song with incredible dancing that has a concert as its PV (if this IS going to be the final PV for this song).

I'm really hoping Kimi no Kawari wa Iyashinai is pulling all the stops on this single (PV wise and song wise) so that Morning Musume. '14 can start the year off right and try to match/beat/be close to the sales of Wagamama/Gundan single (or atleast be #1 weekly on Oricon again).

It seems to be getting a lot of bad backlacsh on youtube from both foreigners and japs japanese people.

So I get what you meant by "if" this is the final PV. Kimi no kawai has to be great.

i love it. brings back memories of the concert for me.

Don't get me wrong, I like their performance, and I replayed that "dance shot" version of their concert so many times from Haro!Sute from awhile back, but, y'know, when you hear MV it just never occurred, at least to me anyways, that they can take a concert and use it as the MV (though, then again, I've only been an idol fan for less than a year, I wouldn't know much about what kind of possibilities there are about different things in the idol world).

I was pretty disappointed with the What is Love MV. They could have been more creative, using the concert footage in addition to other clips. Even if it was just clips of the girls backstage or something, that would have been cool. H!P really needs to step it up if they're seeking to compete in the idol world. =/

Laaaaaaaaame. Lol okay , not really. But i wanted so much more to it and better angles


Wouldn't be a new year at JPLOP without complaining

[Sohee]

I would have liked some closeups ala Chokkan 2, but at the same time I don't mind it too much. It's nice in the way that we'll probably get three, completely different MVs. Which is never a bad thing in my book.
