Well, I think so anyway!
Today the official C-ute channel uploaded a version titled, "
Yajima Maimi Short Movie Totsusen Dance Ver." The video starts off with a film like segment involving Maimi and her friend out eating something on a stick before progressing into what seems to be Maimi on the walk home. At one point she starts quietly singing the song to herself acapella and somehow manages to sound better than she ever does which is odd. Oh well, maybe whisper singing is the way to go. At sometime around 5.48, the music kicks in and the video changes into a sort of dance around the street like you're in a musical kind of affair. Sadly, Maimi's little dance outburst comes to an end when she almost walks backwards into a cyclist. These things happen.

| God knows why Maimi thought it was a good idea to leave her bag here. |

| Don't mess with Maimi. She dances wherever she likes. |
I am beginning to think you and I are the same person!! Here is my FaceBook post from today where I posted this version of the PV:
ReplyDelete"im blown away. might be the best thing UpFront has ever done PV wise. This release has been so epic, but i did not expect something as artful as this. it takes a page from the AKB48 playbook of artsy PV's with acting, plot and great cinematography...
Maimi does such a a beautiful job and is even magical. It shows the essence of longing for love with hope hanging in the air so perfectly. This is a gem!!"
I think you're right. I hope others (in Japan) take notice and that H!P continues down this line of creativity. What a wonderful wonderful precious little film that is!
I always said that 5 person C-ute could be successful is all the right stops were pulled out behind the scenes. With the strategy behind this single, I think we may be going in the right direction for once. Now lets just hope they can keep it up! XD
Deleteadd me on FB if your on it, we have a few groups you might be interested in. my name is Josh Mosby. I have the Gaki face avatar!
ReplyDeleteok maybe we're not the same person...I actually LOVE Maimi's voice! lol
ReplyDeleteI love Maimi (she's my favourite in C-ute) but she has a tendency to be a bit flat. XD
