love the world – Perfume

My first thoughts on loading up the PV were kind of weird. Here is an idea of what I thought as I watched the PV:
Ooh, so the PV is designed pretty much like the cover, huh. Same font, same outfits…
Interesting black and white theme here
Weird, they’re sitting down? Uh, twisting foot, then crawling across leg? Wtf, weird dance, I guess.
Hey, Kashiyuka has different shoes than them. I wonder if it’s a sign. Eh, moving on…
Ah, look, it’s Nocchi! Heh, she looks kind of like a penguin. Oh, cool, there’s a row of Nocchis. Interesting, they don’t all look the same, so it’s not like a mirror, huh.
Whoa, A~Chan crumpling herself up into a ball of paper? Interesting, I guess they’re going making it recursive (thanks for adding to my vocabulary, Kirarin_Snow! :D). Ooh, look it’s Kashiyuka! Whoa, she crumpled A~Chan up into a ball and threw her away! That’s pretty mean, Kashi.Wait, wait, OH MY GOD SHE’S IN A RUBIK’S CUBE. KASHIYUKA<3
Alright, we saw all three girls…back to Nocchi…? Yep, showing another shot of the three girls, same order…
Ooh, catchy chorus! If my horrible Japanese does not fail me this time, I THINK they’re saying not to give up. Or something. Whatever, cool dance.
Huh, I wonder if Kashi and Nocchi are wearing the same thing. Oh, different shoes and shorts, actually. The white background makes it difficult to see Kashi’s feet, though.
Cute dance! I wish they would release a dance shot, but this isn’t H!P.
Interesting, more Rubik’s Cubes. Whoa, cube in cube in cube. Ooh, more Kashiyuka! This song is pretty catchy.
Hm, now they’re doing jumps in slow motion…Kashi’s long hair makes it difficult to see her face when she’s jumping, actually.
Huh, now they’re sitting on each other’s shoulders? More confusing shots! Hm, A~Chan solo while they make more confusing recursive shots. Oh, wow, Kashi solo! She gets almost chorus, actually. I wonder if there’s a Nocchi solo next…NO, NO NOCCHI SOLO THIS TIME. WHERE IS THE NOCCHI SOLO? Okay, now there are more cute Perfume girl shots, jumping around and all…end!

So those were my initial thoughts, basically. Now that I’ve had time to think about it, I think, like many people, that Kashi is going to be the main girl of Perfume pretty soon. She got a pretty long solo at the end (longer than A~Chan’s) and Nocchi didn’t even get a solo. Is this a representation of how upcoming singles will be?
Now that Perfume is getting more and more popular, I don’t think they’re going to do any more Computer-ey songs. I liked Electro World and Computer City, but they’re probably going to be trying to reach out to a larger audience now, so their songs have to be more, uh, mainstream?
Also, I think I’ve been noticing a trend with my favorites. In C-ute and Buono!, I’m a total Airi-freak. Is it because Airi is the center of attention? Is the UFA’s evil plot to have Airi take over H!P working? Or do I like Airi because Airi is Airi? (Whoa, three Airis in one sentence!) And in Perfume, Kashiyuka has been my favorite for a while, and she’s starting to get a bit more attention now. Do I always favor the popular girls?!

Sorry for the lack of posting recently, finals and all that stuff, you know? School will end on Thursday so I’ll have a longer post in a few days!

Uh, random thought I had: Berryz Koubou and Perfume are releasing their new singles (Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance and love the world, respectively) on the same date. I wonder if this will affect their sales. I think everyone has been anticipating this single, since it should be fairly popular, and Berryz Koubou’s new single might be overlooked in all the excitement! That kind of worries me.
