Wrapped up in SKE48's new PV

The full PV for SKE48's new single, Pareo wa Emerald, has been released. My PV rewview of this PV is just a tad late. But it has been extremely hot lately, so I've had to put blogging on hold for a bit.

I was pretty enamored with the PV preview when I first saw it. I was nearly half of the PV, so I thought there was going to be a good chance that I would like the PV. But after seeing the whole PV I'm kinda indifferent to it. While I do like the first hald because there is a lot going on. Dancing on the beach, watching a basketball game, an Alice Cooper-esque School's Out mad rush out of the school, rowing, and other summery activities. While that is fine and dandy, and even down right adorable, the rest of the PV lacks the same pizzazz.  A good chunk of the rest of the PV is nothing more than cliff diving. Which was a cool element to the PV the first time, but the 8th jump just wasn't as exciting. I also realize the diving is just an excuse to wear bikinis. Well, more bikinis then they are already wearing. But as a female fan, this doesn't really do any thing for me. And instead I find it kind of boring. And there's also this odd side story where Rena watches everyone happily cliff diving in sadness. I guess it's supposed to mean she's afraid to jump off the cliff. But have no fear, just like every other cliché, Rena pulls through and eventually jumps. But in her dress, so no shamless Rena bikini shot for you.

chool's out! Ok, maybe this isn't exactly a mad rush. But it's close enough.

And then practically out of nowhere, there's just intense arm flailing. Which is supposed to pass as dancing
Not even 30 seconds in and Jurina is creeping me out already. XD

I love their uniforms.

Random butt shaking dance move.

This girl is cute. Too bad I don't know SKE48's member's names. There was a time when I did my friend. However, they were all puhsed out of my head when I remembered Passpo's and SUPER GiRL's names. XD
Seriously? A peek-a-boo dance move.

I find it a little sexist and stereotypical that they are cheering on the sidelines for "cute guys" rather than playing a game themselves.

This girl is pretty cute too.

Creepy smile!

Let the excessive bikini shots begin.

I guess everyone wearing the boy short bikinis are the young members. However, they kind of look like actual shorts. XD

I've been noticing purple bikini the whole PV. She's the prettiest member of SKE48.

Overly excited, it looks too fake.

Ok, waving is officially the worst move I've ever seen in an idol dance.

The girl on the far right reminds me of Okai Chisato for some reason. XD

Why are so many idol PVs shot in America?

Um..what?

Ok, this is actually cute.

My god, she has old face. O_O

I love this bikini. XD

This girl is super cute. *O*

Rena is always watching.

This gave me wicked flashbacks.

To Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou.

And of course Everyday Kachuusha.

So much fanservice in one frame. XD

Hey would you look at that, it really was shorts. XD

The music isn't exceptional, but as a summer song, it'll work XD

Not sure if you've noticed though, but does it look like Jurina got injured filming this? She did the most painful-looking jump (landing with her body parallel to the water) and it looks like her foot landed on the underwater rocks. I'm not even sure why I noticed it, but ouch.

And yes, there's wayyy too many girls to know them all by name.

D: I absolutely adore everything about this song!

I did notice that Jurina did a belly flop, I was going to comment about it but decided against it. However, I didn't notice that her foots landed on the rocks. That does sound painful. :/

Lol. There are. But eventually I will know all the names of most idol groups! It's going to take me a while though. XD
