Berryz Koubou-Ai no Dangan song and PV preview


With only about 2 weeks until the release until Berryz Koubou's upcoming new single, Ai no Dangan, a radio rip and PV preview have been released.


Now, here's a song I was in love with since the first listening. I'm not even sure why. The song is completely laid back. It only has a very slow slight rock instrumental. And it doesn't even pick up or change it's beat when the chorus hits. And it's a huge step away from Heroine ni Narou ka's intense music and big chorus. And yet, I still love the song, becasue despite it being a pretty clam song for some reason it still grabs my attention. Half because of how abolutely perfect every line is sung and half because the line distribution is awesome. Even though the song is mostly lead by Risako, Momoko, Miyabi, and Yurina, the rest of the members still get a good chunk of lines. The main singers only get about 3 more solo lines than the other members. Which could be better, but is actually pretty good. Especially comapared to what it could be like. Also I think Saki and Yurina completely killed in this song. It fir their voices perfectly. I also think Chinami sounds pretty good in this song. Usuall she sounds a little strained on her lines.


The PV preview is only about 22 seconds, but that's long enough to see how horrible the PV is. The preview consists of Berryz dancing in tight red spandex suits, that look what Britney Spears wore in the Oops I did it again music video. Which is never a good look by the way. But not only are the outfits hideous the dance itself is terrible. It's completely awkward with some of the worst dance moves I have ever seen. There's this one butt shaking move that I guess was supposed to come off as sexy, but it's so weird and awkward that it's hilarious. If that wasn't enough I think this might very well be the worst PV H!P has ever made. It just shows Berryz Koubou dancing on a plain black floor in front of panels that are flashing abstract designs. And that's it! I seriously hope there's more elements to this PV then just these dance scenes and close-ups. If not, this is going to be on horrible PV.
