Berryz Kobou - Seishun Bus Guide

Time for a new Berryz single (20th already). It is coming out on June 3rd, 2009 and it is a rare double A side single. This means that both of the songs on the single are treated roughly the same and thus both get a PV. The typical formula is a single A side and a less important B side so this is slightly different. The two songs featured on this single are called Seishun Bus Guide and Rival. The songs are quite different from each other but both have a very fun, playful tune and some hilarious PVs.

Let us look at the Seishun Bus Guide PV first. Sorry for the low quality of the screenshots since only the Dohhh UP! video has been released. Seishun means youth - so wasn't too sure what to expect from the PV since it isn't the first song to feature a bus. I definitely didn't expect what I saw! The PV is an awesome parody of the girls playing schoolboys on a field trip with some serious crush on the bus guide lady!

The bus guide is an older but quite attractive lady who is a TV Tokyo announcer. Seems like all the girls *ehem* boys are attracted to her.



The PV starts off with a view of inside the bus where all the bus guide has the total attention of all the boys (and momo is insane as always!).


Momo as usual is just insane! Oh gotta love her for that... She really likes her fancy yellow camera. The girls do make some very cute schoolboys! :P





Maasa got so hot lately! Also, in this picture, that uniform looks more like that of a priest. Brings a new meaning to the Church of Maasa.


Hamster-chan!


The girls' awesome reaction to the bus guide:


Risako looks quite frankly totally in love.


Of course, even as boys.. there is this chemistry between Chinami and Miyabi:


Awestruck!



Momo all of a sudden puts on a pair of funny glasses!!


Not sure what this is supposed to be but there is a moment where Miyabi coughs a few times and points to captain!


There is even a field trip where the girls are fighting over being close to the bus guide. Yurina has an awesome Japanese-style huge camera lens.





Of course, Miyabi is grabbing the guide's ass!


The girls play cards in the bus to kill time. Momo has this cheating look!


Awesome Momo moment! I like teeths!


Miyabi is going further and making a love card!


Yurina has a huge ass camera lens - bigger than Captain's head!


Another awesome Momo shot!


There are 3 different outfits used in the PV. The black schoolboy outfit, a purple space-outfit for the dance shots and girl scout outfits?! Strange mix.



Overall, the girls look the cutest in the closeups - can't wait for the closeup version!

Morning Musume - Shōganai Yume Oibito

The PV for the 39th Momusu single is out on Dohhh UP! Rather early since there is still almost a month to the release. Shōganai Yume Oibito is a slower song but I quite like it (even though I prefer faster songs). It has that Momusu feeling to it and well..you can't not love it for that!

The PV is quite interesting. Similarly to Buono!'s My Boy, we see more natural on-location footage and basically no green screens (well.. there is this screen they girls are walking/standing in front but it doesn't seem to be used in the PV - maybe pictures?).

The setting for the PV seems to be a university. This is greatly enhanced by the girls wearing normal clothes (no strapped on dead muppets, etc) and they are quite mature looking and acting. It seems like they are going about their way studying, walking to class, meeting each other, etc. The girls look lovely with their mature looks (and no crying like in the last single).

Onto the image spam (video follows).

The video starts with the girls in front of some white screen somewhere outdoors, although they are just standing there or walking around. Unsure what the purpose of the screen is but it looks quite interesting. I just love JunJun's outfit :P



Aichan seems to be reading something from a book with a highlighter in hand - study girl, might come in handy someday :).



Aika looks awesome and she also is reading a book (or staring at it!).




In walks Reina! WOW! I mean WOW! She looks lovely in a natural way, but still preserving some of her fashion sense in her clothing. Come here my dear, I'll give you some teriyaki beef I just made.. you like beef don't you?!




Koha seems to be not too thrilled with all the notes she has to carry around. I wouldn't worry... unless this is a girls only school, she will find somebody (or a horde) to carry her books. She also looks quite lovely with her mature look (I really don't like her Kirari acting most of the time).



Risa looks lovely indeed! Love the hair!



I'm not too thrilled about Eri's look - she has looked better. Eri certainly likes to read (or stare at) books about Forests?! She's an environmentalist!




The pandas are walking together, talking, laughing. It looks very natural and very cute. JunJun is lovely! I wish I put her first on my cuddle list... oh wait, I did! well then! :P LinLin looks... well like LinLin :).




The dance shot reminds me a lot of Sexy Boy... not sure why.. maybe the dance, maybe the formation, maybe the dresses.



Aichan so cute and natural!



Reina... so lovely... I want to feed her and give her a hug!



Whoah...there is this one moment when Koha looks to the side then looks down than stares right at the camera - sends shivers down my spine! Wow... she can be so sexy sometimes!



Another good shot of JunJun:



Now, that's it... I'm packing my bags and applying for a professorship in japan! Damn!



Finally a nice closeup of Sayu (and a solo line, yay! :P). She's sporting a very sexy asymmetric haircut that almost covers one eye!




LinLin is playing games on her cell! Or she's texting JunJun (who is right next to her!)



Aika being the kitty she is, is rubbing her back on a seat.



Koha seems to be running (away from something) in the hallway.... there might be bears chasing her..who knows!



The PV ends with Aichan staring at the sky then the camera. She looks very similar to her drama character in Q.E.D.
