[Eyecandy] Biyuuden's Last Stand

  • Apr. 5th, 2008 at 7:59 PM

As we all know by now, Biyuuden's last single is here. I was very interested to learn that the last single would be an old school Morning Musume track. But by jove, I really love it. And the PV is so bittersweet. Such an amazing song for them, too bad it's the end.

Well, let's enjoy it while we can, ne? I want to bask in glory just one last time.

It starts out as usual. Erika & Yui stand just behind Rika, on either side. Yui's got her usual ponytail, and Erika has her vaguely Rika-ish hair. Then there is Charmy herself, again, nothing about her appearance is surprising. I do really like the dresses. Very Koisuru inspired. Alltogether, nice opening shot.

The next shot is of Rika, gazing off into the distance. [Insert some cheesy line about the future]. Classic Charmy pose. They're keeping things simple.

These are by far the best shots of the PV. Grainy and very home video-ish, they add to the simplistic tone the PV is setting. No frills or fanfare. Just the good old Biyuuden. 



Erika & Rika, getting their camwhore on. I just love this cap. You can really feel the friendship during these parts. The happy-go-lucky trio really seems to enjoy themselves at this beach. Wherever it may be. Again, notice the classic Biyuuden hairstyles and clothes. VERY SIMPLE. And yes, I am going to emphasize that many more times. Deal with it.

Here is Yui's little solo shot. Very lovely, I must say. The worst voice of the group, but to me, by far the prettiest. Yui gets the piano in her scene. How nice.

And finally, Erika's solo shot. Smiling at the camera as always. LOVE her hair. For some reason I think it looks particularly good in this shot. She's by the closet? I guess. I can't tell, but it looks like it.

Again, Rika is gazing off into the distance. Looking forward to her uncertain but very bright future. *cue dramatic music, probably violins involved somehow*

Erika singing by her closet. Still looking at the camera. I think I like it better when Yui does her "I've just looked up!" routine. But, hey, I'm not complaining. Gorgeous shot.

Yui running on the beach! Very stylish of you, Yui. But, the scarf bothers me a bit. Why does one wear a scarf to the beach? I cannot imagine why. Hmmm.

YEAH YEAH YEAH! These scenes are by far the more joyful ones. I really enjoy them for their clarity. The amazing simplicity that this PV gives me is only enhanched by these shots. I love them so much. I just wish they had more of the Erika & Yui, not just Charmy Channel. I do hope they release an Up-Close ver with these. I would just about die.

And we've come to the dance! I'm reminded of Cinderella during the dance scenes. They are very Disney to me. But maybe that's because years of babysitting have forced me to watch everything Disney known to man..at least a hundred times each. O well. Suffice it to say, I think the dance is cute.

YUI. <3________<3







New type of scene. Kanashimi-ish. Idk. I'm not a huge fan of these parts. They don't fit with the rest of the PV.



YAY CINDERELLA DANCE



*_______*







Lovely scene of the girls together. With the sunset. *tears up*



*waves goodbye*



Another gorgeous shot of Charmy.





Finally, a shot of Erika here. LOVE. PURE LOVE



Yui's shot. CAN WE SAY ANGELIC, MUCH?



The Cinderella dance has come to an end.



And here we are. The end. With a lovely shot of the Leader. Charmy. Rika.

See you later girls.

Yui = LOOOOOOOOOOVE.

It seems the grainy beach shots were shot with the actual handheld 8mm the girls are carrying around (possibly two), but it's probably just film magic. Heh!

It's a really nice video, and, like you said, VERY SIMPLE. No bells and whistles needed, Viyuuden - you were enough. ;___; You were enough.
