Plastic Tree, 4minute, s/mileage, Buono!, ROMEO

As always, a nice quiet song by Plastic Tree with BEAUTIFUL cinematography (can I say that for a music video?) I really like the colours.

I've been waiting for a video with this concept....but I really hate this song. I mean, you have a beautiful, genius video and a song that sounds like every other song out there. They should've given a thoughtful song for this MV instead of just y'know, regular kpop song. So many things could be done with the song, with the group, but we get this crap song...blah...I don't mean to bash 4minute every time, they usually have very good videos, but for some reason they don't go out and get risky on the music. In the beginning they were really different, but now they've been keeping it really safe and wasting their talent! ;m;

I really like the dance shot and the song is very fun. But as usual with s/mileage songs, I just can't like it because of their voices. They sound so fake. I mean, you look at Morning Musume (who may be younger than, now except for people like Michishige and Reina) or you look at Berryz Koubou and C-ute when they were this age and their voices were totally not this high pitched. Also the beginning seems a tad perverted...like we're looking really close at their legs...O.o; One more thing. You have perfect lighting in the dance shot, and then for some reason in the close-ups they fade out and make it really bright. It looks so weird, I don't know why they did that.

I really like this video! I mean, there isn't much a dance shot version, but it's a really fun video and omigosh I wanna play jenga now...;3; Also their voices sounds much more mature together in this video. It has a refreshing sound, too.

ROMEO! None other than...Park Jung Ming~! :D Happy to see him again~! It feels like...he's going for a Gackt feel...It just reminds me so much of Gackt 'cause I mean, you have gorgeous young man with a really deep voice wearing dark make-up and dark clothes in a mystical looking background. Also pop with rock sound. I really love the song and the feel. Only thing...pronunciation...I'd like to hear this song in Korean because I think it would feel a bit less awkward than it does.

I hope Park Jung Ming does become the Korean Gackt, that'd be so awesome! :D
