S/mileage's new PV!
After their amazing Please Miniskirt Postwoman single, could S/mileage keep the momentum going without Yuuka?
This was my first time hearing the song since I didn't listen to any of the H!P 2012 Winter concert rips. My first impression is that it's a step down from Minisuka, but it's not bad.
The PV is overly cheap, but interesting. For example, the scenes where S/mileage are smooshed against glass (pictured above and below) were random elements that added something new and random to UFA's normal dance shot/close up PV formula.
Speaking of the dance, I think its the best part of the whole thing. It's pretty unique and fits the song well. For some reason, I especially like the choto mate kudasai dance moves.
The close up shots in the PV are pretty interesting too. They aren't typical stare and lipsync to the song close ups, but instead there is plenty of movement that adds life to those shots.
The outfits aren't bad even if they do resemble some of H!P's previous outfits. S/mileage pulls them off well.
And the girls themselves all look pretty as usual. I'm especially loving Kanon and her hair lately.
Kanon awesomeness below.
Overall, I think that Choto Mate Kudasai is a solid effort from S/mileage. It's not one of my favorites and I don't know if it will ever become one of my top played songs, but the song has some memorable parts (everyone's high notes, especially DAWA are awesome), the dance fits, the PV is fun without being over the top, and the outfits are good.
