Berryz Koubou - PON! 7/26/12

Berryz on PON today promoting cha cha SING

Momochi's personality is out in full force in this one.

However, each member was also given 15 seconds to do some personal promotion to appeal themselves to the audience. Captain did a part of the cha cha SING dance, which was cute.

Yurina was like "I'm Berryz Koubou's Sky Tree!" lol. And she also showed off her ear wiggling skills.

Chinami recited a bunch of digits of pi again.

Maasa showed off her charm points (AND REALLY WANTS YOU TO LIKE HER OR ELSE)

Miya is impossibly pretty (and shows off her baton skills).

And finally, Risako does a celeb impression. (Momochi doesn't get a turn because she was dominate at the beginning of the talk lol)

This was truly a good appearance because everyone had time to shine. Berryz fans will definitely enjoy it!

Berryz Koubou - cha cha SING (Flash Mob Ver.) PV

UFA has given us what what we've all been waiting for - a full PV of the flash mob scenes that looked so interesting in picture form. Did it live up to the fan-made hype? Only one way to find out!

The PV opens with Berryz walking toward the crowd just ahead of them.

They looked cool just without doing anything, but Miya randomly putting her hand on her hip made her look so badass.

The people around them are just going about their daily lives, seemingly minding their own business (as seen by the janitor in the left corner of the gif above lol),

but all that changes when the dancing begins. They all stop to stare and admire Berryz. Even janitor-san can't help but watch in awe.

However, the staring doesn't last for too long, as everyone goes from spectator to dancer. Long hair guy in the top right is my favorite for no real reason.

And the flash mob dancing goes on for the remainder of the PV in an impressive fashion.

Already I've heard people say that this is much better than the original PV but I have to respectfully disagree. Don't get me wrong, this version is amazing, but only as an alternative PV. I say that because it's very one dimensional. There's just mob dancing, mob dancing, and more mob dancing with no variety. Maybe I'm too used to the tried and tested UFA formula of making PVs (dancing, close-up shots, and random additional scenes), which is why I'm glad this isn't the original PV. But again, I have absolutely no problem with this being what it is -- a bonus version meant to show a different side to this song, and it does that very well. I don't think I stopped smiling at all the whole PV, which shows how much I enjoyed watching it.

Here's the download link (it's 720p HD, taken from the Youtube link, edited a bit to remove the UFA logo screens at the beginning and also don't forget about the password): http://www.packupload.com/8RDUHPH6UHV

Berryz Koubou - cha cha SING MV

On the official Berryz Koubou channel is the full MV of cha cha SING!

So I've only heard this song twice (I often do that with songs I think I'll enjoy, to not get tired of them before the single ever releases) and so watching this MV for the first time has convinced me that this single is awesome.

You can definitely tell that it's a cover (or at least that it's not originally a J-pop song), but that's not a bad thing. This song is popular in its original form for a reason - it's super catchy. And that same feeling transitioned well into this Berryz cover.

The dance is absolutely appropriate for this song, so I have no complaints about it.

Everyone looks beyond pretty in their outfits and little tiaras but I have to give it to Miyabi for looking the best here.

She even did the always awesome Miyawink.

There are the usual close up shots that are in every H!P PV, but this time, the 2shots are the real winners.

I don't even try to hide my MiyaCaptain bias do I? OH WELL, HERE'S SOME YURINACHII TO BALANCE IT

I seriously lol'd at this:

First, there was a pretty hot dance move

and then suddenly a RisakoMiya NAI JANNNNNNNN close up lol.

It was so random, but that just adds to the awesomeness.

I'm not exactly sure what's going on with Risako's hair color (it seems like every PV I'm saying something about her hair, sorry Risako), but that aside, she looks really nice in the outfit.

Every once in a while there's some random gold flying text across the screen. Not sure how I feel about that but okay.

The line distribution in this song is really lovely. It allowed the girls to shine with their solo lines and I always approve of that. Momoko especially sounded great with her's.

OH MY MAASA. She's beautiful and she knows it lol

HI THERE CHII

She also has a more serious, pretty side to her too.

Group fun!

Momokiss for all you Momo fans out there:

And Captain doing whatever she's doing

lol, awesome Maasa

I guess the only real complaint I have about this PV is when they turn off all the lights during some of the dance parts. For me, it serves no actual purpose except making it difficult to see.

So yeah, if you couldn't tell, I'm in love with this single.

Morning Musume is on a roll, Kimi Chari sold amazingly well, and Tsunku's genius showed in Berikyuu's second joint single, so I can only hope that this single is competitive on the charts as well.

If you like this single, you can always help out and buy it!
