The music video for "Otona na no yo!" (I'm an adult!) has been revealed!
"Otona na no yo!" is one half of Berryz Koubou's new double A-side single "Otona na no yo!/1-Oku 3-Senman Sou Diet Oukoku" - this marks the group's 34th single.
This song is another funky dance track with a "mature-woman" feel. It's definitley got that upbeat Berryz Koubou "sound" but I think it sounds a little bit out of date. I'm not so keen on the lyrics - I'm a sucker for subtle and clever songs and I can't help but think that parts of "Otona na no yo!" must be a bit embarrassing to sing. However, overall it's quite a fun song and definitley worth a listen.
The music video has got Berryz dancing in a stylish warehouse, with mannequins and light-rods everywhere. The choreography is charming and I really like the close-up shots with the mannequins and perfumes. As for costumes, Berryz have got different "casual-fashion" outfits which fit the song well, although it would have been more stylish if some of the outfits were a little better coordinated.
Overall, this is a fun dance track but it's not my favourite Berryz Koubou song by a long stretch. I feel that Berryz Koubou have been pushed in the direction of a "mature" group for some time (since almost all of the members are now in their 20's), but many of their latest singles haven't quite got their image right. I have high hopes for "1-Oku 3-Senman Sou Diet Oukoku" to be more dynamic and better styled.
