Meisai PV Analysis/discussion

[justriiingo]

actually, meisai refers to the camouflage pattern on the army uniform. maybe that's why your friend confused it with the army.

He also appeared as extra clip of both Seiteki Healing 2 and 3.
In SH2, he was the man who repeatedly looked back at last part.
In SH3, he was the man with pink shirt who was talking with doll.
(also appeared as tour guide Pop Jam's Tokyo Trip program of TJ Phase 1)

The fake Ringo was likely acted by Yokomachi Keiko, an actress.

The Q&A thread in 2ch lists Inazawa Ahito and Watanabe Hitoshi as a other cameos.
They credited drums and bass in Meisai recording, respectably.

Thanks for these interesting tidbits!! Now if we could only figure out what kind of characters they played... :confused:

Referring to your other post: I don't understand, was the translation incorrect? >_<

It was so correct for both inserted part and translation.
I intended to show that the word 修正 was actually contained in this part.

Ahh EmilScherbe, you're wonderful

...I KNEW I'd seen double-eye-guy somewhere else. I love that SH2 part - even more since I read frecklegirl's translation of what Ringo says in it XD

[hypercarrots]

Ah...I never realise that there's a second female in this PV!I thought every female part is played by Ringo since she's so addicted in challenging different roles. XD

One of Ringo's best videos, if you can stand its utter madness, where she plays two characters: a beautiful and arrogant singing queen of a bunch of people who turned into her servants (they look like a kind of continuously eating marionettes), and a pretty, smart little waitress. We first see the queen wearing a solemn kimono and holding a paper umbrella; then she enters onstage, lets the kimono slip away and reveal an elegant red and black dress, while some of the marionettes are playing. A boy wanders casually up to this place, and everyone tries to persuade him to eat, so he'll become another of Ringo's servants. He understands he is in danger, so he looks for the help of the waitress. His plan is to erase the queen with a giant correction pen, but the waitress is doubtful. In the end there is a lot of mess, the marionettes go insane and start playing dishes and forks like they were instruments, and the boy manages to erase the queen... only to know that it was the waitress the one who had the power over that place! Amazing, really.


That's the awesome pv info at ringo jihen.

probably my favorite video of hers as well (though the 2nd unplugged version of 'Ringo No Uta' sort of does my head in too, but for completely different reasons)

I can't get to the bottom of the meanings here as well, but I get a definitely WWII vibe of confident Imperial Japan getting ready to enter the war and succumbing to decadence and failure. the young officer despairs, won't eat the same food & dreams of erasing the older traditions that are compelling them towards entering the war...
