PEDO ICON?

Also, with all the comparisons between Ryuukou/Hayari and Himitsu, did anybody notice Ringo's "it's your guitar" (or something like that) background vocals between 2:13 and 2:14 in R/H which is exactly the line around 2:10 in Himitsu? Maybe the songs are related, maybe this is an early or (then) unfinished version...

wow, never noticed that! that is kind of cool. I don't think these stem from the same song or concept, but I think Ringo is repeating a lot of what worked for Himitsu here. If you stripped away the production sheen I think the core of the songs are very different. Himitsu always had that original rock n roll soul glossed over with jazz for the album. Hayari seems to be more R&B and funk glossed over with rock production.

I think what's missing most from the PV is color. It seems that it's supposed to give off a fashion model, clean, high cut, sort of vibe, but I don't think that really goes with the song...although that could be the whole point. Either way, I was really hoping for a big splash of orangey-pink, at least during the "You define the vogue" part. Sort of like a skin tone, only more vibrant and girly.

I liked the video. I thought it was cute. It's a bit boring in some spots, but Ringo looks really pretty in that dress. AND THOSE SHOES! And everything just looks really nice. I just wish there were maybe a few more outfits? Or something?

Where does this happen? Can you c&p that square symbol which isn't the kanji for mouth?

same sentiments here, Shun is the gem
she gets my bloodstream boiled up on the part where the
music kinda stops and then she goes
wa zutto shun da to .... as the kick comes in again around 2:35
and all the ikite ikite.... gets to me everytime

Oh my.. thanks for posting up the video, Papilionidae!

Pardon me being vulgar, but I want to fuck Shiing Ringo right there on that stage! (: I'm not really a fan of the song, but I liked the video. I actually like the monochromatic style of the video, but usually these type of videos compensate for that by adding variety in other ways. What's missing in the video is a style change. Instead of repeating the runway walk 2 times in the same dress, what SR should've done was be in a different outfit and have a different pose the second time through. Or, if they wanted to keep the same outfit, then they could've changed the setting a bit for the second verse/chorus. Oh well, it's a decent video.. and it's kind of nice seeing the diva side of Shiina Ringo come out. (:

i'm kinda late on watching it, but ringo looks absolutely gorgeous in that video. i didn't think it was boring since i like that song, but i think there could have been more going on. ringo's walking, though, was amazing =). i think the point of the video was just for her to be very appealing and so there wasn't much else going on. and i thought it went well with the title of the song. i really liked the bluish color scheme, too.
