J-Web started a special series for the upcoming Wonderful World release. The "Topic" that was updated today was about the PV filming. I won't translate it word-for-word, but I'll sum up the article. They seemed to have had a lot of fun, as always :-)
PV Filming Behind-the-Scenes Vol. 1
This Music Clip has a story, which is a first for K8. The setting is in a car factory that the guys work in. One day, a super sexy blonde chick came to ask for her car to be repaired. Each guy started daydreaming what would happen after they finish repairing the car... as they started working on it. ...It's a comical story.
In the studio, there was a set for the car factory with guitars and drumsets as well; much like a secret base. During breaks, Ohkura was playing with the drums, sometimes taking turns with Nishikido who started drumming slowly as well. Sitting on the sofa next to the drumset and playing cards were Murakami, Maruyama and Yokoyama. Next to them, Yasuda was singing to the tune Subaru was playing on the guitar. They all seem to be very relaxed.
They started filming the scene where the chick comes to the garage. All of them were overreacting, especially Maruyama who was blowing kisses saying "WOW!!" It all seemed well in their first try, but the staff said "Can we have another take?" Yokoyama asked, "What was wrong?" "Nishikido-kun was too sexy so it's no good!" said the staff, lol. Nishikido was looking through his binoculars, and because of that movement, his bellybutton and underwear were showing. The guys all bursted out laughing at that reason. "So what!? It's not something that's going to go away!" said Nishikido.
Filming went on smoothly. During a break, Subaru and Maruyama had fast food for a meal. Ohkura of course didn't miss them and said, "I just ate but I'm hungry again! Can I have some french fries?" and took a bite.
Subaru, with Yasuda, decided to draw for their YASUBA themes. They started looking through the list of themes that the fans sent, and said "Which one should we draw?" (Yasuda) "Hmm... what the heck is this, haha" (Subaru) "Ok, then let's draw xxxxx, and..." (Yasuda) "And this!!" (Subaru) After they decided on their themes, they both started drawing quietly. Subaru explained to Maruyama, "They (The fans) download these drawings and make them their wallpapers (for the cell phone) and stuff!"
While they waited for their set to be ready, they were all in relax mode. Yokoyama was looking through some pictures with a staff on the computer and said "Oh my god! Look!" and the other guys gathered around. Apparently, they found some old photos. "This is from... 'Summer Storm' in Shochiku!" "Wow this is so old!" (Subaru) "It's been 5? 6? years already" (Ohkura)
