The PV for Kitahara Sayaka’s 2nd single titled Kanari Junjou has been released.
For the most part, I was quite impressed by the PV since it’s really girly, cute and has a very soft aura that made me forget that the song is used as an ending theme for an anime for boys, which is something really amazing since this way, Sayaka won’t be compared only as the seiyu and the idol that provides the songs for the anime, but also be recognized as having her own solo career that until now, isn’t disappointing at all.
First of all, I wanted to note that I didn’t particularly like the song when I heard the radio preview, but the PV really made me like it a lot more since the wonderful scenes matched the song a lot better than seeing football animated characters running while the song was playing during the radio preview, and the simplicity and elegance of Sayaka in her 2 outfits as well as the variety of scenes is something that immediately catches the eye.
The PV features many interesting scenes that all combine to give a fresh feeling a variety that’s different from usual UFA PVs: the main scene seems to be the one featuring Sayaka in the red school uniform-like outfit where we see her either singing in a close-up next to a tree in the sunlight, or in an amazing setting sitting on the stairs of a colorful garden, surrounded by flowers, where the camera takes many angles zooming in and out, and the nice touch is that the camera is never still during this second scene since we sometimes see her in a close-up, or from far away taken from behind flowers, and this scenes really prove how easy it can be to add a nice setting into a PV to make it special.
The second batch of scenes features Sayaka in a yellow/beige outfit doing various things such as sleeping on grass, walking down stairs leading to an isle in a green garden, stopping near a fountain, wondering in another garden to find a box with a letter on top of it and writing one, and the nice touch is that they included something similar to a close-up version with this outfit that is really original since Sayaka constantly moves in it, does various expressions and doesn’t seem to be as still as in the main close-up, which is a really nice addition since we don’t usually get to see that sort of close-ups that added a special touch to the whole, and I was also impressed by the linking of the 2 scenes at the end of the video near 3:19 and afterwards.
Overall, I can’t express how impressed I am by the PV since the various original scenes, the 2 cute outfits, as well as the amazing range of expressions Sayaka managed to do through the whole PV managed to keep any boring feeling away, and I think that anyone who watches it will get a different vibe from the song itself since after the song finished playing, I completely forgot it is used for an anime and thought of it as a true single.
Hopefully everyone can take a moment and look at the PV since it’s really amazingly well done, and hopefully H!P’s future releases will be as well executed as this PV instead of the usual setting of a dance shot and close-up version…
The release date is set for 11/9.
