The music videos for Berryz Koubou's new double sided single "Motto Zutto Issho ni Itakatta/ROCK Erotic" have been released!
"Motto Zutto Issho ni Itakatta" is a sombre and elegant "heart-break" song with an electronic dance beat. The music video is simple but effective - the "dark-water" scenes with the light reflections are very elegant and pretty. Although I'm normally a sucker for elaborate costumes, I like the the casual outfit choice for this video as it fits the mood of the song better. In particular Risako and Momochi really stood out for me in this video (particularly Risako's speaking line in the middle of the song), but I couldn't help but be drawn to Kumai Yurina's beautiful green jumpsuit!
"ROCK Erotic" has a very different sound to "Motto Zutto Issho ni Itakatta", with dub-step breaks and a fast-paced electric sound. The video focuses on a cool-romance played out by the taller members (Maasa and Chinami of course because of their short hair cuts) dressed in masculine suits and the "cute" members in lacey gothic-style dresses. I really like the costumes in this video (certainly more effort was put into these costumes than "Sayonara Usotsuki...") - Sugaya Risako really pulls off the look with the gothic rabbit-cap! Overall, the song is a little bit more memorable and edgy than some of their previous releases.
The new double A-side single is due for release on the 2nd October 2013.
