yeapx, this video is 6 months old, around there. but i just saw this from another website recently, and thought it is kinda cool. well i have like miku-chan all along. in fact she is so famous (well i guess she is not over here in singapore) that they based black rock shooter on her. she sang the song, and the character design looks awfully like her. hahax. anyway enjoy this video.
ok this is late. and yeah, if you are any real fan of nana-chan, you probably would have already memorized this whole pv to the extent you know exactly what she is doing or singing which particular word at any second.
why is this late? because i screwed up my blog and the most recent backup i have is that of 1 month ago. and therefore i have to repeat this post. well, at least, semi-hardcore fans or just normal fans of nana-chan might see this pv for the first time. so i am still putting it here.
nana in kimono, it really made many people excited. although i think she looks more kawaii in that famous nazi suit of hers. yeah don't flame me, i don't care about nazi and all those idealogy and morals. i only know she looks good in that uniform.
heh, i guess even girls get turned on by her, not to mention guys. she is certainly extending her sexual appeal to even the female domain. if you think i am joking, maybe you can ask around and you will know how many female fans get turned on just seeing her in that kimono.
sexy, this is the word to describe her. the way she behaves, looks, even her voice are all sexy. i wonder in real life how many hearts of men (and probably women) did she break. aww. but i think what is best about her is that she smiles and laughs a lot. i think that is infectious, in a good way. she is not proud, and she is not overwhelmed by her fame. she just takes it like that. she doesn't put on airs, at least according to my knowledge. yeah, many people do smile, but few are hyper-active like her. hahax. just watching her non- music videos (such as makings, commercials, or variety shows that she appeared on) really can make one lighten up a bit.
regarding this song, to me i don't really like it after the first listen. meaning to say, chances are i won't put it in my windows media player or ipod playlist. but i am looking forward to like it. not that just because i like her i want to like all her songs. it is just that not many of nana songs attracted me at the first listen. i usually take 2, 3 or even 4 listens just to like it.
songs like last scene, replay machine -custom-, crystal letter, pride of glory, trinity cross...etc these are some songs which i don't get it at the first listen, but i really like them a lot. crystal letter is old, and replay machine is even older, but after so long, i am still kind of addicted to them. yeah. of course those songs that probably can attract anyone at first listen would be... hmm let me guess, takara mono? that is one really nice song.
about the pv, for some reason japanese pv looks really boring sometimes. oh well the main focus is nana-chan anyway. but i feel it could be better. compared to western music videos, i guess japanese have a long way to go just to catch up to them. or maybe it is a culture thing. you know, the westerners have these kind of videos, the japanese have that kind of videos. who knows? it may be just their style. but still...
ok let me compare between singers in japan. among those pv that i have watched, i shall list those of around the same genre. otsuka ai, horie yui, mizuki nana, kitade nana. ok i know kitade-san is a j-rock singer, yeah but well i guess it could still be compared. hoc-chan would be the most suitable comparison though. as for ai-chan, hmm... yeah her music videos do still belong to the japanese music videos category.
comparison: hoc-chan and nana-chan videos are kinda similar. well how do i say? it is just that the music videos focus too much on them, instead of having something like a story in it. the same for kitade-san too. at least i find that some of ai-chan's videos such as amaenbo and daisuki da yo more entertaining. if i am to take just nana-chan's video to compare, i like the music video for crystal letter, brilliant star and love & history.
some of you might also have noticed that nana-sama is getting out of the otaku and j-pop circle slowly. i read online there are some comments that this pv bend towards visual kei more. well i don't know much about visual kei, but i can say this is definitely out of her usual style. of course if you want to compare the pv of power gate and this, well i think there is a significant difference in the way the musicians behind, hmm... act? for someone who had asipired to be an enka singer, she really had deviated a lot. hahahax.
well that is all for now. if you are a fan of nana-sama you would have noticed the difference. for now, enjoy the song, enjoy the video, and get stunned by our idol. her smile is simply, sexy. and that sexy smile can make many die for it.
