SUBBED VERSION by akirashocksubs
This new release from NEWS was hyped for so long because of their Russ-K commercials. Honestly, I didn't really think much about it. I thought that it was going to be one of those overproduced PVs like KAT-TUN's LIPS or something kind of eccentric like weeeek ( though I did love that PV) But I was pleasantly surprised that I was wrong.
[It kind of makes up for the fact that I waited til dawn for this PV's release in Break Point! but it didn't happen. WTF, Kitagawa! Whats with that faulty schedule?]
This PV wins by a mile and a half. Totally it has my heart. First, its of the BOYS looking very HEALTHY and GENKI. Ryo does not look like he needs to be fed. Massu isn't overweight. Even Koyama looks awesome. Pi looks well rested too and Tesshi, well he looks adorable. We all know that Shige's vanity lately has been making him look wonderful. Well, plus the fact that they are wearing decent clothing is the BEST. ( THANKS, RUSS-K!)
Hmmm... first of all, I flailed because it is MASSUCENTRIC. And Massu pouts are always made of win! <3 I love the Artistry, the flow and the happiness of the video. The video was set up with Massu reminiscing moments of summer as he opens the old photoalbum and out jumps the memories at him. Emo!Massu appears for a milisecond before real Massu grabs the attention back.
The set was cute. A nice summer house with BRILLIANT colors. ( I LOVE THAT TEAL PAINT!) and it has so many things for NEWS to play with. It's wonderful! It is very cheerful, fun and well, summer-like! There are odd things in there, like a camera without film, bongos, maraccas, food and well, things that NEWS could go crazy with during their summertime.
Lately, NEWS has this trend to keep their videos light, funny and very genki. From Hoshi wo Mezashite to Weeeek to Summertime the genki/sugarhigh levels seem to have risen and multiplied. Not that I am complaining, it's cute! It seems that their relationships really has taken a turn for the better.
Pi: Looked striking fight in fastball
( he was throwing a frizbee)
The solo album page showed his Russ-K photos and some weird engrish.
P2 has the comeback of the YamaPi cups and him with the surfboard. ( he really had to bring it in somehow)
Shige: Love is growing tamed with you and me.
( with black and white chihuahua)
#2 has him with newspaper in the back
Massu No engrish, just planes. Its cute!
Massu Indiv page 2 ha him with the float and swimming gear, his russ k photos, dolphinsand engrish. KAWAIIIIIIIIII!
Ryo has guitars on his and some of his Russ K photos. and "I want you to know my sweet emotion" written.
#2 Ryo has motorcycle brushes and CAN I GO AT A RUN TO HER?(WTF!!)
Koyama has some lyrics of Summertime in English ( I, think) and Him on the road with awesome vectors and brushes.
#2 has him flipping eggs.
Tegoshi has the vain page with him preening in the mirror and one of his russ k pics in the back. and some english brushes like Come with me etc. ( I have those brushes too)
Tesshi 2 has seascapes, etc
Funny, these pages were done with brushes that I also have! <3
nice healthy boys
Ryo starts out with hiding behind the tree and singing.He looks really good in this video. He looks healthy and he has awesome black hair. MY RYO ICHIBAN IS BACK !! *_________* *flailymadness* and he's drinking milk!! GOOD BOY!! But the skateboard is not a microphone. Thank you.
Pi looks well rested and really good with his hair in here.He also drinks milk. While a weird shot of Koyama goes by doing the peace sign. >.> Uh.
Massu looks awesome. Did he change his hair? He definitely lost weight but I lovehim this way. He's so genki and sweet looking I want to hug him!!
Tegoshi looks fed. His hair isnt a weird ass color and it is a cute cut. All in all, he wasnt a complete fashion disaster in this one ( perhaps we should thank Russ-K for that). He's just plain adorable and not so girly!!
Shige looks amazing. Though, he did gain a lot of confidence. His cockiness shows here. I guess it is just fitting for someone who is gaining a larger fanbase than before. He was a late bloomer anyway. And BRIGHT BLUE looks awesome on him.
Koyama looks not so thin and awkward.I think he looks better now than before. or maybe i just didnt pay that much attention to him before. ( or maybe kitagawa is feeding them now with more milk)?
The whole PV was just crack waiting to happen. With crazy random banana scenes, straw scenes, and that whole Shige and Pi camera scene. OMG, Shige's doggie looks weird. Massu seems happy with his jars of fishes. And it only proves that Ryo can't iron worth batshit and Massu flails over laundry. (maybe it was his shirt) He's like shocked to death over it and almost cried. Ryomassu is possible. I tell you.
There was something that caught most of our attention. THE KEII-JUICE. Actually it was strawberry milkshake with some mystery ingredients like that round thing that he dropped and the mystery liquid ( which I thought was lime juice) it came in a limejuice thingie. upon closer inspection I think it was some kind of nut, or small fruit or yam. coz it looks like it. AND WHAT AN EVIL LOOK DID KEII GIVE TOTHAT CONCOCTION!!
The fact that they showed interaction between members that are usually not working together (Ryo and Massu),(shige and Pi) etc,shows that they are growing from a stagnant pre-molded boyband to something more.They are not afraid to show a different side to themselves, and focused on bringing out new things. It was a pleasant surprise to see those scenes really. I believe it was something great
Koyama and Shige's rapping actually sounded kinda nice here. (/end random thought)
And what is with that idol!? wahahah! Oh wait its a bottle. heheeh. oh how random they are!
I will add my favorite shots in a few mins.... ^_^
