For all the sudden rush of Momosu content I just realised that their PVs are a little ... well not just them.For most PVs by H!P.
There's a lack of storyline.When you compare them to other established J-pop artiste.
Amuro Namie - She can dance.And she's almighty with it.Rather than dancing to the PV she makes it look as if the PV IS orientated around her dance steps.
Hamasaki Ayumi - She knows how to dance to the clothes she dons on and the PV.Kinda makes you feel like her songs are one with their respective PVs.
Koda Kumi -Erotic song lyrics for an erotic PV.Lyrics about missing someone for a love song PV.Spot on.
I honestly can't find much of these elements in H!P PVs.There's a lot of close-up shots on the idols,solo shots of the individual idols singing their lines in the song.There's just ... a storyline missing in it.Still ... considering the amount of other media they cover(live concerts for each season in a year,DVD magazines,weekly radio broadcasting etc),I doubt they rely on their music and that only.
Sounds weird but then again.There's 9 members in Momosu , 6(soon to be 5) members in C-ute and 7 members in Berryz Koubou.And all the mini collaboration groups consisting of members from each of these 3 main groups(Guardian 4,ZYX etc) ... that's a lot of non-music related work that can be done.Maybe ... just maybe the idols of H!P'll be more recognizable by the public though their looks rather than their music.Sounds a lot like models/actors doesn't it?
Then again that's just my take.Could be correct to a certain degree.Could be totally wrong.
Anyway take care and live life without regrets!!!Life's virtually over when you have no control of it ...
