Top Secret?






(Me says...) I don't really like fanservices like these. So in-your-face.
Nobody knows... Top Secret... yeah, tell it to the birds.
When you are told to believe something, you know the truth is quite often the very opposite.
So, I guess I'm the only one not excited by all these.

Aww. I know how you feel about this.
But maybe there's a chance it's just the song and pv director's decision or w/e? If that made any sense.

I agree with your sentiments...but I have to say that the image of Yossi hugging Rika from behind is cute. The last time I've seen them do something like that was back in early Haromoni episodes.

Oh (and sorry for double posting), I'm just going to tell myself that the fanservice is Hangry & Angry service, and not 1444 (if I see a picture like that out of costume, that would be a whole other story).

This PV is so loud, some fans will love it to bits. Yeah, those loud and odious ones, because this is just so their style. So Sei, I really like it the way you separate H&A fanservice from 1444 fanservice. Touche.

When I see where H&A is likely to be heading now, I'm reminded of tAtU. I dislike, too, how their management appears to be capitalizing on sapphic themes, knowing how the girls have such appeals to a pretty big group of followers both overseas and in Japan itself.

I have another theory for the UFO catcher scene, but I have to wait until I've seen the full PV to see if it fits my thoughts.

You're right that loud fans are going to have a field day with this PV, and unfortunately we won't have a way to stop them except to avoid them, haha.

I'm wondering how much say the girls get in when developing the PVs. Granted, they're not in H!P anymore, but an example would be GAM's Melodies. Aya and Miki seemed a bit more willing (or forced) to do things on camera, where in H&A or even Ongatas, at the most they're groping.

On a lighter note, it looks like this video has a bigger budget than Kill Me, Kiss Me.
