Twisted Berryz
Finally had a chance to see the new Berryz Koubou PV for the first time. I’d heard about the monkey suits from other entries in the IW neighborhood but decided to wait until I actually saw the video.
Musically, it sounds like the group is going to go into reggaeton territory until a typical Tsunkuian left turn happens and we get some heavily regional sounding J-Pop instead. The song in general is definitely the stranger/funnier side of Berryz - closer to the Berryz of “Piriri To Yokou!” than the Berryz of “Jiriri Kiteru” or “VERY BEAUTY”.
Those monkey suits, though… yikes. I’m sure it was inevitable given the song’s title and the banana motif (Sorry, I can’t resist this joke: Were there guards keeping JunJun away from the set?), but I hope that there’s a version of the dance shot PV coming where they’re in their more normal outfits.
