Berryz Koubou's Ai no Dangan full PV screenshots + download link

Uploaded not too long ago to the official Berryz Koubou Youtube channel is the full promotional video of their new single, Ai no Dangan.



It's finally out!!

There were multiple instances where I shouted YES! while watching, which only means one thing: I love it.



The PV starts off awesome right from the title screen. It's a bright and sparkly heart thing.


At the beginning of the PV, the girls are shown putting together a TV screen, which they later walk out from behind.


Wait a second, let me get this straight. We are watching the girls dance in a screen, which is in front of a sparkly screen, which they walk out of to form another screen and afterwards they begin dancing in front of the two screens they just left behind? *head explodes*

These outfits are HOT HOT HOT.

Oh did I mention the outfits are hot? They are.
Of course, it wouldn't be a H!P PV without a healthy mix of dancing and close-up shots. The latter being in front of that sparkly heart screen, which is cool.


The dance is also pretty epic.

cool pose is cool
Though I could have done without the psychedelic coloring that they added every once in a while.

Discolored Berryz? not sure if want
Spinning Berryz!


The dance move right after that is pretty hawt (and so is the Miyabi clone).


Oh Kyapu, your hair is growing so looong <3


Close-up on someone's waist/butt. I approve.


Maasa looking fierce, as usual.


Momo sunglasses.


Half-way through the PV, they turn on the hotness once more with individual poses. Work it girls!


After that, Berryz does some more posing in front of a motorcycle.


Risako really knows how to turn on the hotness when she needs to.


Captain aims for the heart and it's a direct hit. <3


To conclude the instrumental dance break, Berryz tries their hand at a butt dance.

YES! MOAR PLZ!
So in case you couldn't tell, I really, really loved the PV. The song is even better. I really love Captain and Momo's falsetto lines at the end. Well done girls! I tried to give Momoiro Sparkling a chance, but sorry C-ute, it's not even close. Berryz wins this round. 

I can't wait to see this performed on Happy Music. Yay for promotion!

This single releases on June 8th and this time around Berryz has a decent chance at being the first non-Morning Musume H!P group to get a weekly #1 in a long, long time. Their main threat is Super Junior, a K-pop group. However, they haven't released a Japanese single in a couple of years, so no one really knows how they'll do. It could be like their first single, which sold 90k, or their second, which sold 20k. Then there is Acid Black Cherry which sells in the 45k range. They'll also have to worry about AKB48's Everyday Katyusha's third week (AKB's last two single's sold 25k and 10k in their third weeks).

If Berryz can pull off some of that Watashi no Mirai no Danna-sama magic and have a 30k first week, then they at least have a shot if ABC has an off week and Super Junior sells closer to their second single. It's unlikely to happen, but you can still help Berryz's push for #1 by buying this single! I know I'll be buying all four versions to help the cause.

    Must I list all the reasons I love this video omg omg omg?
    Miyabi's hair is wonderful and she was massively the center and she totally whored the last lines of the chorus and I LOVED IT. Miyaaaaa.
    No but seriously her hair is awesome. I want to grow mine long like that.

    I really have to say, I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE the effects in this video and for some reason it also made me love Chinami more lol.

    OH THANK GOD
    Chris, I would have CRIED if this was to be released in the same week as SHINee's single. SHINee is a shoe-in for no one with their first single for sure, if they don't get it, I'll be surprised, and yes, I am a SHINee fan. I want Berryz to get #1 though. THANK GOD it's not the same week. THANK GOD. I would have cried.

  8. Kanjani∞ (a Johnny's group) is now releasing on the same day, so #1 is out of reach now. This also means that ABC and Super Junior will be battling for the #2 spot, so just like that, Berryz's competition just got a lot tougher.

    Dammit. Thats really tough competition. I don't like Super Junior all that much though, I honestly don't understand why they're so popular.
