Everybody roller skate!

The PV for Kis-My-Ft2's much anticipated debut single, Everybody Go, has just been released.

I actually really do like the PV. There are a lot of elements in this PV and a lot of things are going on in this PV. I doubt there's one frame in the entire PV were something isn't happening. Which is obviously a good thing. The PV looks like it costs a pretty penny to make and it shows. The PV is flashy, (in more than one sense of the word), it has 3 different close-ups, 3 different outfits, 3 different sets, stripper polls, ramps, and overly dramatic fog. This PV seriously has everything. Johnny's really went all out on this debut. It shows you  just how much faith JE has in Kisumai becoming bigger than they already are. That's what happens when you're a popular undebuted Junior group for 6 years. Look at how big KAT-TUN, who were in the same situation, where and are. They released a debut album, single, and DVD simultaneously and they all shot to number 1.
I'm actually realy impressed with the PV. A lot more impressed with it then I was after seeing the preview. The only thing I don't particularly like about the PV is the sheer amount of roller skating going on. Now that they are debuting I really wish they would drop their ridiculous Junior shtick. But I guess that's never going to happen. And even I have to admit, ridiculous or not, they utilized the roller skates brilliantly in the PV. I also really love the song too. Kisumai has unexpectedly good vocals and interesting music.
However, I'm trying to watch this PV and be excited for their debut, which I am, but there's just something that's keeping me from enjoying it 100%. It's probably the fact that nearly all the members look like hideous trolls. Yeah, that's probably it. I'm trying to be objective and take this debut from a non-shallow point of view. But you know what? I can't really seem to. Kisumai has everything going for them except for looks. Yes, I'm a horrible shallow person. But excuse me if I'd rather listen to pretty boy idols. Idols, who I might point out,  are judged on looks and personality over talent. Which is not just a female idol thing. If that was the case MatsuJun and Chinen Yuri would have never debuted. Taguchi Junnosuke and Kato Shigeaki can't sing, instead their main points are their funny personalities. The same with Yaotome Hikaru. Well Hikaru can actually sing, but he's not the best looking idol in JE.
And let's be honest, looks are the real reason I'm not into Arashi or Kanjani8 as much as I am other JE groups, and why I don't listen to older JE groups. This is why it's just easier to stick to female idols, I don't have to worry about being shallow. XD Maybe it's just my insanly high standards, but I don't see wasting my time fangirling over some one who's not at least a 7. Japanese celebrities or American. XD

I never understood why Hiromistu wasn't credited for his performance in the Troll movies.

Overly dramatic close-ups.

Not even 30 seconds in and they are already roller skating. XD

I think Yuta actually looks cute in this PV. What a difference a new hair color makes.

I think arrogant close-ups should be reserved for people who don't look like they got hit in the face with a frying pan.

Ok, jumping off the ramp is actually pretty awesome.

This has to be the greatest lighting known to mankind because Hiromitsu actually looks cute here. Which is impossible because on a good day he's a 2.

Taisuke let me know when you get your bedhead hairstyle back. Then you'll be hot again.

Fooled by the lighting again. :/

You've been waiting 6 years for a debut and this is the best you come up with for your close-up.

Eww, Toshiya is the ugliest one.
Stupid dance move.

It doesn't make sense that Yuta is the focus of this PV, but Taisuke is shoved in the center of covers of the this single.

I was super impressed with this glove scene transition.

Even with his bad hair, this is still pretty hot.

I wasn't expecting Yuta to appear out of nowhere. It's kind of funny actually.

I love that the top members get the upper level.

When in doubt add a stripper pole.

Or have your roller skates shoot sparks.

No matter what you do roller skating will never be cool. XD

And cue the dramatic fog.


Here's the PV, I suggest you watch the PV before JE takes it down.
