The Full MV of the title single dropped today

Shisou De Shinai Kiss (Dance Ver)

Nice MV, I like the various ways to highlight the centers:
Alone, put aside, the double circle formation.... etc
Also since it was shot in Sado Island (AKA the butterfly island), the filming and choreo are inspired by a butterfly lifetime, from chrysalis.
And surprise surprise !!!!, CRE8BOY choregraphy

Well, I didn't lke too much the latter artistic choice, especially on the filming. Too much on the fly camera for me. It results in a disordoned film, I feel dizzy now ..

 

This song is better than NemoHaru and MotoKare combined. Why can't AKB do songs like this? They used to do great songs like Kimi wa Melody..

I know this is just a dance ver., but I can barely see some members' face. Who's idea was it to wear hoodie? Fire that guy. It's freaking summer!!

 

Dance version ?

 

It's is a "dance ver" as they titled.
So, probably we might get a full (drama ver) soon

 

Eh, back in the day, Kimi wa Melody wasn't considered that great of a song during its release. I mean the MV was extravagant in style/visuals, the inclusion of notable graduates was hyped, but the song itself was okay, Some would even say it was a snoozefest or something, because they were looking for something more upbeat idolish songs.
So maybe in the future, people will think of this song as great when looking back at it.

Then again, I have not yet checked out the MV nor hear this song. Will do so when I get off work.

 

Kimi wa melody was never considered good. It was saved by Acchan and co. Otherwise it was meh.

 

People actually disliked kimi wa melody more because it was centered by a sister group member and the inclusion of graduated member (too much focus on them and kind of unnecessary) than the song itself. It was considered a better single compare to their previous release that year (Kuchibiru ni Be My Baby & Halloween Night)

As for Shisou De Shinai Kiss, I actually like it. Its definitely better than Ponkotsu na Kimi ga Suki da

 

The answer is in the movie description though
According to CRE8BOY, the song expresses the transformation from chrysalis to buttefly, hence the hoods at the start and how the girls throw those away near the end. That's the moment they become butterflies.
The choreo is also inspired by this metamorphosis, hence the slow pacing (a chrysalis hardly moves) to a much faster one after. Like a butterfly desire to fly freely toward it's next future.

With this in mind, the allways moving filming makes more sense, though still not my favorite aspect.

 

Yeah, it's too much movement that I don't like about the mv. The sceneries are amazing and the choreo is good too but I can barely see the members and they say it's double center but I think it focused more on Rika. But of course it's also the fact that I know only a few members like Hinata and Nishigata.
