Butterfly (I Loved...?)

elennielNo, this isn't about Tacchon - I couldn't quite resist making the title of this post sound like the title of his other solo. XD Instead, this is about V6's new PV, Cho (Butterfly). It just came out yesterday and I was so happy when I saw the download link (I have an odd feeling that I was anticipating it more than I did Step and Go -_-" ).
The song itself I kinda like. Don't love it, but I like it somewhat. :) The Spanish flavour of the song works. Vocals were great as always. Taichou's and Inocchi's solo parts were good~
The PV... Erm, "okay but could be better" would be my judgement on it. Like Step and Go, I just feel that more could have been done with the PV.
It was more of a conceptual than a narrative vid, having no apparent storyline to it. Perhaps I'm a little biased because I tend to prefer narrative music videos to abstract, conceptual ones, even though those can be interesting to watch. ^^ But I really disliked having the dancers in the vid. They were really distracting and often made the scenes too "busy" and seemed pointless.
Post-production work on this seemed fairly good. I didn't have anything that really annoyed me in the editing, colour-correction and so on. I thought the overall look of the PV suited the song - slightly mysteriouos, moody... "exotic" (@ duckii_mustang: XDDD ). Maybe a biiiit too much green/purple hues for my taste, but I can't really argue against it since it works.
V6 themselves? Lookin' good, guys. (But Okada, please shave. It's not at all nice when you look like Go. >< ) I think the dance should be interesting to watch when they perform this on Music Station and other music shows. But I do wish that they had better outfits in the PV. The outfits were too... normal. It should have been sharp, clean suits. Or at least jackets like the white one Okada had on in some scenes. Even if it was shiny silk/satin ones (if they must have some 'bling' - though I don't particularly care for it)... but I definitely think some 'cool' outfits would have served the PV better. Something more dapper than those normal clothes. Ah well.
Loved the opening establishing shot. (And it took me over five minutes to recall the term "establishing shot." How awful.) It totally set the mood instantly and indicated the setting of the PV. And looked great. :D
Also liked this part near the beginning when they just shifted from pose to pose. Pity the camera pans and cuts were so fast, but the poses I could see just looked really cool. :P
And a gratuitous shot of Ken-kun because I know someone would want to see him. XP
One example of a way-too-'busy' shot. Just too many things going on. Female dancers in foreground, V6 behind, furniture in background and CG-flakes falling down... Just... too much.
And some random caps to end things. ^_^

Yay for Tacchon~
Hopefully I get to turn out a wallpaper post on Friday for the occasion :D
