[2014.07.16]°C-ute - The Power / Kanashiki Heaven (Single Version)

[MejraThea]

Really, Samuel?   I can't wait for this "fad" to be over.

[yuzuriha]

Mai's houndstooth is the only thing I like about any of the outfits.
 
I have had quite the houndstooth fetish since like middle school though.  It used to be so hard to find though!
 
PS I have totally had houndstooth nail polish before.

PV for The Power is up!

I like the graphics a lot! Almost reminds me of Berryz Cha Cha Sing setting too?

[TicTacAnyone]

Still not in love with the song, but I definitely like that it's pretty different. 
 
But the MV...... Yes.
That is exactly the kind of shit H!P needs to be doing more often. It may not have been anywhere near the amount of effort/money/direction put in American or Korean music videos, but for H!P it was pretty damn great. C-ute seems to get generally better videos than most, though. Dance moves seemed good to me... I'll probably unconsciously start mimicking them, lol.

The Power sounds like a Berryz song and the MV is like a Berryz MV. Boring I say.

[star]

I agree with you that the song seems like it should be a Berryz song...although it definitely isn't boring. I still don't know if I like it. It puts me off a little because its so out there and in your face, but at the same time its the kind of weird that you can't help but like.

[arcobaleno]

I don't care for the song that much, but it's got some catchiness to it lol
 
But the PV, I looooooooove it! It makes the outfits look just a teensy bit less mismatched, and the graphics they did actually didn't look cheap. By H!P standards, this is an amazing PV, and even by normal standards, it's no slouch.

[Mugi]

Wasn't really feeling the song but as with most songs I'm on the fence about the PV really made the difference. I like it now.

[yuzuriha]

I like the outfits...but I felt like the more "creative" parts of the PV were like cheap rip offs of the GOUNN PV.

[Meikochi]

I prefer the live version but that song is, to me, really good and the MV also (but not liking it as much as the song ^^). It also reminds me (in addition of Cha Cha Sing) Tsukiatteru no ni Kataomoi for the aesthetic.

[Shoujo Q]

PV for Kanashiki Heaven is out on M-on. 
 
I like it. But... lol! Way to shove Mai and Saki's pole routine into the music video. So random.

[yuzuriha]

I'll give it a watch later, but yeah I saw some screen shots yesterday and I was like...oh....kay...
 
BUT pole dancing is an awesome skill that takes work so I am sure they want to keep having a chance to use it!

[smtmissin]

Nakky is really beautiful in Kanashiki Heaven. Really. Beautiful.
I hated Airi's dress at first, but Airi works it in the MV.

[ShiroiChanUK]

I was really surprised by the MV for The Power :) I'm still not all that keen on the song but I think they did a great job with the MV in terms of the visuals :) As for Kanashiki Heaven whenever I see an MV like this I always think of typical rock band MV's :) That's not a bad thing by the way lol It also reminds me of the MV for SHOCK at times. Overall I think this is a pretty good single :)

The full PV for Kanashiki Heaven has been uploaded to C-ute's Youtube channel.

Great sales as usual :) C-ute are very consistent these days when it comes to sales :)

[Mugi]

Now if only H!P would push them! Give them something crazy to make them stand out in a good way somehow.
