NYC - Wonderful Cupid PV review

I finally got my hands on a video of the PV for this song to do a review of. Though the more I look at it the more I realize there is actually very little to review.

And for some reason the yellow becomes green for this PV.

I think the worst thing about Wonderful Cupid, for both the song itself and the PV, is that it is just too simple. I mean Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star sounds like a more complex tune than Wonderful Cupid and is only beat in the fact that WC (a perfect abbreviation for such a flushable tune) runs on for 2 1/2 minutes longer than it should. Honestly they just needed to do something with the song's melody to change it up a bit more and it would have been so much better. The monotonous feeling of this song just makes it feel like it's dragging on and trying to bore you into a stupor instead of sing you to sleep.

The PV is okay. It fits the song, for better or worse, but does not seem to try to much else.

Let's see what Yamada did on his summer vacation.

While I do not mind these scenes it feels like we get too many of them as nothing much is happening. I do rather like the outfits the boys are in.

Yamada wishing he was in any other book than this.

I do actually like how you have the song lyrics as the book's text. Though the fact that all the kanji has furigana is a rather big indication on the ages this release is most likely aimed for, pre-teens. 

I really do not care for how light Nakayama Yuma's hair color is. But part of it could be more from how light the PV in general is and it might look better if set against something that would contrast with it.

I do think it is interesting that they actually have a real girl in a PV. I get the feeling though it is not a Japanese girl to try to make her "safe" for NYC fans. Like they do not have to worry so much that there is a girl with the boys because there is a good chance she is foreign and will never see them again after this unlike a Japanese girl who could end up working with them again. Of course I do not agree with that line of thinking but I have seen enough reactions from younger fans when there are dating rumors to understand the logic behind something like that.

This was a cute moment and the PV would probably would have been much better if it had more of these.

And this is pretty much the climax of the entire PV...

The "walking" in these book scenes is hilariously bad. I do not think they are fooling anyone when they are walking in place in front of a green screen. I think the reason this single does not have a version with the PV and making of is because of how boring the making of would be.

Yuma, where did you get your animals for your pet store? That hamster  is bigger than the cat.

You know it is sad when swaying pretty much ends up being the "dance" for a song.

Even though he's smiling I can't help but feel his eyes are screaming "Save me!"

And I really have nothing to say at this point as my brain kept thinking of anything else than this song and PV so it could keep itself awake. Though I do wonder how the boys felt about this song and PV. I mean they must be getting to the point where they would want to do something else with NYC than sing songs like this.

And now let us never speak of this again.

And we thankfully get the end. And honestly I tend to like NYC songs but this has to easily be the worst song they're released and that is including B-sides. If not for the fact Yuma has his solo song on this single I would have been tempted not to buy a copy. And I really wish Yuma had a PV for his song as it probably would have been better than this.
