[3/3] BEYOOOOONDS 2nd Single "Gekikara LOVE / Now Now Ningen (NNN) / Konna Hazujanakatta!"

[Tobo_Junny135]

^i understand what you mean
In the golden era there was a lot of personality, we had the twins, Mari’s Sexy BEAM, Rika being cute (she had a character in haromoni irc) The Yankee, the Tomboy, Johnson, etc, and I think slowly after that, dare I say at around Ai’s leader tenure it was just all about vocals and dancing. Honestly The closest MM has got that level of personality and fun is probably the Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari songs mostly because it showcases each member for about 15 seconds each roughly estimating


Gekikara was fun to watch and Kokoro laughing at the end was just humourous itself like it was a development from her usual Glasses boy character.

I also found Konna fun it’s almost like poking fun at the group itself like their reactions which tells the audience “we’re really gonna roll like that?, we’re gonna be this type of idol?” kind of thing

Ningen didn’t exactly have that same spark and fun than the other 2 singles, I hate to say it but it’s my least favourite

[Yattaruchan]

I definitely DON'T want MM to go this direction. A bit wacky here and there is fine, but not THIS wack. This level of wack suits Beyooooonds perfectly.

I should clarify because I totally wasn’t clear in what I meant.

I kind of wish Morning Musume went in this direction post the golden era. Golden Era had a lot more personality and theatrical vibe. Today’s Morning Musume just isn’t that and Beyoooonds really suits the theme so well. But I kind of wish the Morning Musume of today retained that level of personality and fun.

Fair enough.

Although, that was more from the shows they were on like Haromoni, Utaban, fun, rather than their PVs (though their post Love Machine songs did to that somewhat. That was the MM era when their dancing was designed to be lame.)

I guess to clarify my own thoughts too. I was thinking more the song side of things rather than the PVs. While these new Songs are fun and what not, they're just not a good musically as their previous songs for me. I could listen to similar-ish songs like Hello History, We are Leaders and the Joshi Monogatari song all day long. These new songs, I don't think I could.

Let's make it together! New Normal, New Life!

(Head office: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, President: Sawato Shindo), which operates stores throughout Japan, has collaborated with BEYOOOOONDS, a group that stands out from the rest of the popular Hello! Project, in their latest song "Now Now Ningen", as part of their efforts to convey the brand concept of "individuality is wonderful.
The music video will be released on February 3, and various events will be launched as part of the "TRIBE PRIDE LINK" campaign.

"Individuality is wonderful.
I want people to enjoy their own individual charm and shining personality.

In this day and age, we want people to be cheerful, positive, and free to express their individuality!

With this in mind, Cayhane has joined forces with Hello! Project's latest group, "BEYOOOOONDS", and the message of their latest song "Now Now Ningen", "Let's Make New Normal Together! We are very pleased to have been able to provide the costumes and art set for this music video.

The colorful costumes worn by the members and the world view filled with various patterned cloths and sundries symbolize the New Normal world and the world where each individual's personality shines.

The energetic and joyful performance of the BEYOOOOONDS not only attracts viewers, but also embodies the message of Cayhane: "Treasure your individuality and enjoy each day as much as you can, just as you are."

Now Now Ningen" MV Story

A secret base built by the members of BEYOOOOONDS themselves. From there, the members produced and distributed a DIY video to convey the message "Let's make New Normal together" to the world. Their video hacked all the visions all over the city. Thinking that they haven't fully conveyed their message yet, the members take out a mysterious button from the secret base...

Special edition music video to be shown in Cayhane stores

To commemorate this collaboration, The "Now Now Ningen" (Cayhane Dance Shot Ver.) will be played digital photo frames in all Cayhane stores (or in-store monitors in some stores) from February 5th (Fri.) for a limited time. We hope you enjoy it!

[TotallyUncool]

All three of these MVs are pure fun!

[Sohee]

I love all the pvs, though I get what people say when they say that Now Now Ningen is their least favorite. It is the one that stands out the least, and I'd even say it's the most "normal" song of the three of them...
I personally think Gekikara is my favorite and NNN is second. But, Konna hazu janakatta is a lot of fun for sure @.@
Such a solid single and we haven't even heard the new unit songs yet *_*

[Celedam]

Spoiler: show

Actually she's objecting to being recorded. That was the second time. This was the first time, a little earlier…

Fully understanding I’m in the minority, Now Now Ningen is actually my favorite song of the three. But Konna Hazujanakatta is my favorite PV. Gekikara LOVE is my least favorite all around. Though really, I love all three songs and PVs.

[Miekie]

Konna Hazujanakatta! (It's not supposed to be like this!)
Sounds cute and the lyrics must be really funny. Can't wait to see how comical the song is with the comical choreography.

It seems the lyrics references to other H!P group names integrated.




"Morning Routine with Fresh Juice"
モーニングルーティン　新鮮なJuiceで

"Beri Cute"

"Tenshi no Smile" (ANGERME and S/mileage)
天使のスマイル

"Like a Factory"

Even mentioning their debut song "Megane no Otoko no Ko"

Also, "Nantetatte Idol"

Don't know if it was already known but also discovered some other references while just listening to the song once again.
In the second verse they are also talking about a 'four-leaf clover' aka Momoiro Clover Z and 'Found 48 of them" aka the 48-groups.
