..::The Naughtiest Monkey Ever::..

Although this pv had been released quite some time, I just get the chance to watch it recently. Before saying anything further, lets us watch it first (or rather, again).

When the original pv was released, I honestly thought that this monkey fever will end. The Berryz had done really well in that pv. Then here comes another one, a Monkey Version. There are also other version sing by each of the member, but I’m not really interested in watching that kind of version, consider after watching those from Dschinghis Khan. Its kinda boring to watch a single member only, right? This version is more entertaining than the original version, but its not suitable to be the main pv. I just couldn’t stop laughing watching them with the monkeys attitude.

It begins with the monkey holding the tail of the monkey in front of them and form a circle. As you lay your first sight on the pv, you could instantly watch Chinami’s naughty monkey-behaviour with Miya. Sure, they are excited to DANCE! Saki looks like a living zombie when jumping and smiling like that at the same time. Risako seems like she didn’t get into the song. She hardly enjoys it. Then its the shortie monkey Momo followed by the tallest monkey, Yuri. After Maasa pass the camera, Miya come forth and make a weird face, retreating back and I could she that she’s obviously shy with what she had just did. Maasa’s weird hand gesture is the best in the first round of “tikittikitti”. Then its Risako’s solo line. Honestly, Risako did really bad in this version. She doesn’t seem to enjoy the song. Instead, she is focusing on “when is my turn to sing”. When it comes to her solo line, she wanted to stand alone in the middle, with that same gesture over and over. Wow! I just paused the pv on 0:49 playtime. Look how long Yuri’s hand was, and Chinami had evolved from a Mankey into a Primeape! Then the monkeys once again take turns approaching the camera. Saki’s ending expression of expanding her mouth was really funny. Hey, a white monkey is really cute, isn’t it? God, just look at Maasa, right after Risako’s turn. She was looking left and right with that look. HAHAHA!!! I must say, Chinami and Maasa are the craziest monkey I’ve ever met. They are really entertaining and enjoying the dance. Okay, Momo was left behind and can’t be seen! Watch closely!!!

Then we enter the second verse. It begins with Chinami and Miyabi, the mischievous monkeys come up to the camera and making those faces, and then Chinami comes closer, showing a frown there, and retreat back, just to knock Momo aside! HAHA! Just look at Momo’s dramatic fall, and save by Yuri. While Chinami just lend her a hand and get lost. Soooo cute! After some random moves, the monkeys once again walk forth by turns and notice Risako after Saki’s turn. She simply shoved Saki aside with an angry face and perhaps saying “get lost Saki, its my turn!”, just like a monkey did! Behind her is the naughty and genki monkey, Maasa who is busy scratching her chin. HA! Caught in the act! Look at Miya on 3:07 playtime. Right after that, Risako once again did a stupid mistake. She forgot to sing her line!!! After her, its Miya’s turn. But don’t focus on her, look at Maasa teaching Yuri new dance moves. When it comes to the slow tempo, Miya and Captain start to do something weird. Look at them spinning across the camera! Their velocity increases, if you didn’t notice. Next, Captain did another weird movement when it comes to the slow tempo of the chorus, where everyone were jumping, but she was tilting her head left and right. Wouldn’t that hurt her neck? Oh, I forgot, they are monkeys, right? Then, the monkey (Captain) gets more radical at 4:36 playtime, where she moved ahead with an angry expression. She’s embarrass with her behaviour right after that, you know. At the same time, the shortie Momo was jumping non-stop to get a clear view of the camera. By the end of the song, she’s just too tired, and finally thinking of giving up. Well, at least my top-head is visible.

Now for the award winning monkeys:

Best Monkey: Maasa and Chinami

Funny Monkey: Momo
