Haha, this PV is crazy. I really like it. It's very tied to the lyrics, too.
But I dunno, the lyrics are about wanting to improve your health, and because Ringo's all afraid to look at the number on the scale in the video, it makes me wonder if the "curvy animated Ringo" that appears after that is more like the body she's afraid of becoming, a fat body (by Japanese standards), as opposed to what she wants to be. I dunno, just my theory. I also really like the Alice in Wonderland house thing. Super cool! |

I don't think so. It's all a homage to the cartoons of the US of the 30s through 60s, much like Who Framed Roger Rabbit? was. I can only see it as a Betty Boop/Jessica Rabbit image of the "perfect body".

after she has huge chest and butt in the mirror she is plagued with thoughts of desert and cake, covering the cartoon image, then she picks up a picture of a man, so this would lead me to think that that idea of her in the mirror is a depiction of a perfect body, etc, whether or not this is hers or society's or whatever isn't clear. I'd say Ringo is probably a typical girl and like most japanese girls wish for bigger breasts and a smaller waist. I just finally watched the full video (thank you youtube!) and the part at the end where they are dancing and the sign reads "touch my body" made me crack up....

The lady in the PV isn't Shiina Ringo I know or care about.
SR doing ballet - hot; everything else, well, there's a reason Disney doesn't hand draw their cartoons anymore...

Who Killed Roger Rabbit yessssss I have to admit I was surprised at how well this video was in the animation/CG department, the only part that looks sketch was when she was rocking back and forth on the boat. she fit right in with her crazy facial expressions, colorful clothing, and exaggerated dance steps. |

This is the kind of shit that's dragging EMF down to the depths of jpop hell. Fuck this shit. We used to be above this nonsense and all about the music.

PV is cool; Disney cartoons were much better in the pre-CG era.
