Time for some PASSPO☆ music videos! How exciting!
Admittedly, this will be the first time I've seen them. I tend to avoid music videos, but the clips from the Cinema Trip album are all AWESOME, so perhaps, I shall give these a chance...
First up is GPP.
As mentioned in my review of TAKE☆OFF, this song is about having a pajama party with your friends. So it is completely shocking that this video is all the girls having a pajama party and singing and dancing. "Dancing" may be a bit of a stretch - it's mostly just waving hands and other gestures. And Green is in the centre for most of the video. I'm pretty sure she's the first one to graduate after the next album, so that's a massive waste. But at least all their pajamas were in their correct colours. That is a win! The more I watch this video, the more I love it - low-budget greatness! I want to have a pajama party with PASSPO☆
Let It Go!! is next and... well... I don't even know what to say about this. It's just closeups of their faces singing along, and now they've all seemed to de-age about 10 years so they look like they're in middle school. Then I remember this was in 2010 and some are still only in their early 20's today, so it's actually almost accurate. Purple was probably only 14 or 15 here and has started wearing purple glasses, which also help to make her look about 12. And I can't forget about the cartoon animals that appear for NO REASON! So gawddam hilarious.
ハレルヤ is the next video. It seems to be a collection of live clips where PASSPO☆ are not wearing anything remotely like flight attendant outfits. In fact, one of their costumes looks like a marching band or something. I don't get it. I saw a live video of PASSPO☆ from 2010 and it was just laughable and I had to stop. But now I'm thinking maybe I should be watching a live performance from each year as well, just to make this even more stupid...
サクラ色 is our last music video, and it's more of the same; PASSPO☆ singing along reflectively while sakura falls around. I don't know. It's a music video. They're super young. They're still yet to show any real personality. I know it's hiding in there! They just need to stop putting Green in the centre...
Then there is a behind the scenes making of thing for ハレルヤ which just reinforces they are still school girls. My Japanese is still pretty terrible, but my understanding is was filmed at their first One-Man Live. They were excited and even got a cake with their faces on it. Some woman who I'm assuming is their Road Manager looks like she's already sick of babysitting these kids. That cracked me up.
You've come a long way, kids.
Yeah I don't know if my writing here was worthwhile. Maybe I'll come back and add some gifs later?
