So this news post is a little late ~ sorry... Recently, I've been really excited to see the MV for Berryz Koubou's new release: "Asian Celebration"! The music video was uploaded February 16th and I've been listening to it everyday since!
"Asian Celebration" is a particularly exciting release from the group - the song is very funky and upbeat.
There's a lot going on in the music video - it has a disco/DJ set and lots of "sparkly-flashy" effects. Plenty of disco balls and glitzy-headphones! There are a lot of different camera shots to keep the viewer engaged - the dance shot with the coordinated choreography really embodies the group-image of Berryz Koubou.
The costumes are very flashy - although I'm not really keen on the red jacket collars...But overall, it suits the song very well. The black/white aspects of the costume contrast well to the colourful effects and disco dance-floor in the set. In particular Miyabi really stands out in this MV - I really like her solo talking-parts, and her eyes (I think she is wearing circle lenses) make her look really electric! Kumai Yurina also looks particularly good - this kind of energetic single is very fitting for her personality. Most of all there is a good balance of on-screen time for all the members, "Asian Celebration" brings out the best points of all the girls and the different characters stand-out.
Best about this release is that they all look so happy and smiley! This video looks like it was a lot of fun to shoot!
Being their 31st single - this is definitley a "classic" Berryz Koubou dance song - Please check out the MV and catch the single release on the 13th March
