^ The outfits don't match the song. There was the same problem with Suki yo! Junjou Hankouki. There was a huge disconnect between the song, the outfits and the PV background and It just really cheapens everything. For Samui ne S/mileage looks cute, but they more like power rangers than whatever the song is implying. (Which would be cute with a genki song) So much more could be done with this song and it just seems like wasted opportunity after wasted opportunity. I didn't feel this way with 4 nin s/mileage or even with Please Miniskirt Postwoman which I think was really well done. Last time I felt this way about a group in H!P it was with Morning Musume when Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai and Seishun Collection came out. It was like Tsunku wasn't even trying. Right now I feel S/mileage is loosing a lot of love from Tsunku because they are the only ones who have not increased sales in 2012. Even though I just haven't been able to get into the new S/mileage I feel like the girls deserve better. They have the ability to do much better. I guess I should wait until the video comes out before I make such strong judgements, but I have a bad feeling this will be a repeat of Suki yo!
