Musume Academy: Shouganai Yumeoibito

The HQ version of the new PV is finally out. I was expecting to only see it during the first week of May. Have H!P PVs always been released so early in advance? Anyway, after viewing the clearer video, I am all the more convinced that I LOVE it! I actually took screencaps of the PV. Is that a miracle or what? XD The number of caps each girl got doesn't signify my adoration level for them. It was largely dependent on how many pretty looking scenes I could grab :P

For once nobody looks bad in a cover. This is the normal edition btw. All of the girls have stunning smiles and hair shiny enough to shoot a shampoo advertisment. The details about the 2 LE is, they come with different versions of the PV. My guess is one will be a close up while the other an alternative version. Possibly in their various outfits and not the white/cream dress which will be in the dance shot version. I wish this single came with a PB edition. It should be epic.

Ai-chan

First thought that appeared in my mind when I saw Ai was "Q.E.D!" Doesn't her hair resemble Kanna's? Did UFA want the audience to be reminded that she was the lead actress in the drama? Or did they think that she looks younger with this hairstyle? For some reason, I think Ai-chan would have looked tons prettier with her hair let down or tied to the side. Ai looks much better in the close up. See, it's the hair that messed up. The ending bit of the PV was almost like Onna ni Sachi Are with Ai's extended face shot. I like her denim jacket.

Gaki-san

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Gaki-saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!!!!!!!!! Sugoi kireii!!

Her hair and clothes are perfect! I can't believe Risa looks so awesome. Or should I say, I can't believe the company gave her a decent image. Gosh, her striped shirt, tie and sweater practically screams college girl. Though I think a lighter colored pair of pants would have been more suitable, I can't really complain since Gaki-san looks nothing less than incredible <3 Oh, and is she wearing the same jeans as Kame, right down to the way they folded them? Damn, seeing Risa makes me wanna run my fingers through her tresses :P

Eririn

There is no denying that Eri is a beautiful girl. And this video really proved that. Although Risa's outfit was more schoolgirl and Eri's could be something any young woman going shopping would've worn, I somehow still got a university student vibe off her. In my mind, Eri would be the quiet studious type who hides in the library all day reading by herself. One other thing that got me all hyped up is, they put her in a cardigan! The Eri character in my fics tend to be dressed in a cardigan cuz I feel it fits her. Whatdyaknow, apparently someone in the wardrobe department thinks the same way :D

Shige-san

I think Sayumi wins the award for making me forget to breath the most number of times. I have to congratulate the lighting guy for doing such a good job of making Sayu look creamy white. Her skin is so pale and enticing that it plays off her raven dark hair and eyes wonderfully. The off shoulder dress and her expression didn't hurt either. Sayumi was totally channeling the kind of "you-know-you-want-me" feel she gives off in her photobooks. In other words, it kills the viewer instantly.

Tanakacchi

Reina is like the unofficial "bag girl" XD Why is she always the one carrying a bag? Remember her leopard print handbag in Resonant Blue? I liked her purple plaid one-piece. Not many people can pull off this color but its obvious Reina has no problems there. The way the front of her dress was flipped open is such a tease! It made me er....nothing....I better not type that out :P I will probably never understand why Reina doesn't leave her hair down more often. She definitely looks ravishing when she does. When she appeared like that I was left shellshocked. That image of her was that dazzling.

GAKIKAME/KAMEMAME/RISAERI

In my fantasy world, Eri asked Lin Lin for Risa's schedule so she could wait for her at the elevator to kinda "bump" into her. Tee hee hee, doesn't that sound likely? And Kame seems rather happy herself. Look at how sweetly she is smiling :D I'm not very sure if the person Eri is talking to in the 2nd cap is Risa cuz it looks like some of the mystery girl's hair is tied up. And I can't see from Gaki-san's caps whether the back of her hair is done like this.

I'm really lost on the finger biting thing. I get that it's a good way to get people watching the vid riled up, if you know what I mean XD Even I got somewhat hot under the collar when I saw it. But what has that got to do with the song? Is it mentioned in the lyrics? I wonder if everyone bites their finger except for Ai. I guess I'll have to wait till the dance shot gets released to find out. Oh and OnDiet said KameMame were biting their fingers cuz they were starving XDD

Group Shot

If these 9 girls were in the same course in university, I bet noone is that cohort would graduate. I'll be too mesmerized by them to pay any attention to the lecturer XD

Koharu-chan

In the blurry LQ version of the PV, I thought Koharu was wearing a lab coat XD Initially I guessed she was an associate professor or teaching assistant. Thank goodness for the dohhh up PV. Now I can tell she was in fact wearing a blazer. Kinda strange that UFA dressed her up so maturely when she's just 17 in 2009. I don't like the hair but Koharu's still pretty in the close ups so I can live with it. Her running scene made me LOL. Clearly she can't emote that well but most idols can't anyway.

Mittsui

Is this the first time Aika colored her hair brown? I can't recall if she did it in Pepper Keibu. Nevertheless, I'm positive Shouganai Yumeoibito is gonna be her break out song. Nice outfit, it portrays her outgoing personality very well. Watch out for Aika during the dance shots. She had extensions and man, were they remarkable! Not everyone can look good with both short and long hair. I think Aika is a great example of someone who can. Keep your eye on this 8 Gen-ner. She's gonna rock your socks off in no time.

Jun Jun

The whole theme of this PV had the girls in normal clothes and light make up. I really liked Jun Jun's black and white jacket. It hints of slight sportiness but is still within the feminine range. Isn't that exactly her personality? Hmmm, what else, oh right. In the close up, it pretty apparent that Jun Jun can look okay without make up. What I mean is, she won't be the type to scare you silly should you see her on her day off.

Lin Lin

It's funny how although Lin Lin has the nicer features, it's usually Jun Jun who comes out prettier in videos. Is it the hair, the clothes or what? Nonetheless, Lin Lin is a funny girl who isn't afraid to show her crazy side. That's why I quite like her. To tell you the truth, there isn't anyone I don't like in the current line-up. That's why it's so difficult for me to rank them. Because us fans already know Lin Lin is a nut case XD we can't really imagine her as an introvert. Yet from her screencaps, she's rather believable as a shy person.

JunLin

These 2 are cute together. I could see them as a dating couple :D Jun Jun is the boy while Lin Lin the girl. Awwwww, makes me feel all mushy inside ^^
