What the fuck is this? That's what I was thinking when I heard the concert rip. It sounds better than I remembered, that's my thoughts in the beginning of the music video. And for the rest 4 minutes I thought: What the actual fuck?
But I was in awe.
1 Oku 3 Sen Man Sou Diet Oukoku is ridiculously amazing and so weird that I can't help loving it. I really like the instrumental and after the lagging begging of each verse there are the repeating parts and the glorious chorus I totally adore. I'm a bit mad to Tsunku for only making songs about dieting, but this song really makes me question what he actually wants to say by doing so and what the dieting culture of Japan is actually about. "Even slim girls are dieting", that's it?
It's my opinion, but this whole song is genius! It's not about H!P trying to be something different anymore - which has been the case for the last couple of years - this was something really unexpected.
The video deals with the basics, but is very pretty. Risako looks like she just returned from a holiday in Capitol, and I love it. I just wish she wasn't the only girl getting bright hair colors and bizarre makeups, because there are, well, 7 interesting, grown up girls in Berryz that would all have the potential to be just a bit more than just great idols.
The other A-side of this single, Otona Na Yo! didn't impress me as much, but I'm not saying it's too bad. I enjoy listening to it. I like the MV, maybe a bit more than the one of the dieting song. Many seemed to dislike the outfits and the dolls, but in my opinion they're the best things about this. The dance has its good and bad parts. Still, what distracts me is that the lyric arrangement doesn't really work and the wows sound just terrible, I and mean that, just ugh nope. Plus it's not their choice who they're dating.
Ah, I shouldn't be writing this quickly, it's all just flow. But otherwise I would never write anything. So I apologize if I disagree with myself tomorrow. Anyway, the Berryz Koubou single will be released in the 19th.
