The PV for Mikan is freaking awesome! Love, love, LOVE it! It actually looks like some money went into it for once in a long time. The outfits are cool, the pictures of the girls as kids are adorable (OMG! Aika! So damn cute!) Pardon me while I gush for a bit!
First off the video starts with Aika and Koharu front and center. A good choice as they are my two favorite girls. Koharu looks fantastic with that hairstyle. She really is up front and center here, she’s in almost every shot. Hell, everyone looks fantastic in this. It’s nice to see a video from Morning Musume again where they are pushing the “genki” factor and not so much the “sexy” one. I absolutely love the costumes. I’m a sucker for anything that looks remotely like a uniform and these are great. Love the knee high black boots. It just looks awesome.
The dance is great too and really fits the song. Lots of high energy movements, lots of rotation around the stage. I love the shot of the girls spread out over the earth. Can I get a poster of that? Lots of great CG. Can you tell I am really digging the look of this PV?
This is the PV that has endeared me to the new line up. As cool as Onna ni Sacchi Are was, Mikan is it. I am totally in love with Momusu again. This is the PV of the year for me. From the bright look to the incredibly upbeat and motivational lyrics…. I am just floored. It’s been a long time since a Momusu song moved me as much as Mikan has, and I am sold.
I read a rumor somewhere that the 9th Gen auditions were coming up but I seriously hope this is not the case. Let’s give some love to the current Momusu for a while!

I like current Momusu too, and I loved this video, but I’m waiting for a new gen since the results of the 8th, not that I don’t like Aika, but I want a bigger group, some 11nin or 12nin would be great.
Great video, those old pictures of them make you watch it again and again.

It would be interesting to see some new girls, but I’m just getting used to this current line-up so I’d hate to see any drastic changes in the near future.

Not sure if it’s planned or a pleasant accident, but JunJun seems to fit the physical role (at least) that Yossi had, and LinLin fites quite nicely into Miki’s former slot. Hmm. But Aichan is getting way too many of the lede lines. Let these other girls have their shot!

I personally hope we have a little while to longer to wait for the 9th gen, I’m still just getting used to Junjun and Linlin adding new members will make that process that little bit tougher.
This is an amazing PV and I agree it’s good to see that they’re not pushing the sexy image for the group as much as they have with the last lot of PVs.
