When I first played the video, I thought of that Heartsdales video. But it's cuter. The performance sequence reminds me of the Fanta girls for some reason. Probably just because of the color-coded girls. The video isn't the worst thing ever. It's consistently comical, unlike "Startin'," which was all over the map with its story.

And I like the song -- it's different for Ayu, like much of her stuff lately, but it sounds more suitable somehow. It's a total cheerleader song, which is a lot of fun, without being sugary cute and sweet and lame-o. It's got tude and drive behind it, instead of being wimpy and soft. I love the arrangement, too, although the beat is a little straight.

I still wish Ayu could dance, though. I hate that old-school Japanese-style of dancing, where you move slowly to the music and basically just strike cute, happy poses. It's like slow-mo parapara, and it's painful to watch.
