Impressionable PV

despite H!P being labelled the cheap pv maker

there have been some awesome pvs

and there's always one or two that'll leave you with an incredibly strong impression

and first impressions are especially important right?

for me generally after watching those pvs it's the start of a turning point, i.e. that's when I start to like them

so I thought to list my H!P impressionable pvs

Morning Musume 

I watched this suuch a long time ago!

I think Risu showed me this, and at that time we didn't know it was Morning Musume, but after watching I found out. and then even though I didn't immediately like them after, I used to go back and watch this several times.

I think this is my first momusu pv

It's such a fun song! and the lyrics make me laugh

definitely have to watch it with eng sub

Rika and Miki left a great impression on me

you can tell they all have so much fun singing this

and it's a good way to learn who everyone is

ahh I miss all the OGs!

but morning musume was quite confusing, with all these members coming in and out

so after another impressionable pv, I began to really like them

this song is really catchy

ue ue!

you can't go wrong with miki x ai x reina (and eri) leading

sayumi looks really nice here

Berryz Kobo

The first vid I watched from them is Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance, and of course that really stands out!

another incredibly addicting song

but the pv that made me start liking Berryz was Rival!

Even now I still love to watch it, it's so cute!

and I like what they're wearing

and the hula hoop part was also cute

C-ute

I can't remember for certain which was the first video I watched

I think maybe Shochuu Omimai Moshiagemasu

that's a really pretty pv, I love the scenery, and the sort of story

but the video I that made me like C-ute is...

I just love the set and costumes

not to mention it's an awesome song! I think it was nominated for an award as well

Mano Erina

she recently graduated! all the best^^

I wasn't a fan of her songs really

but after watching this video, I thought, wow. and went and watched her other videos

such a cool video!

it's like an anime game, I love how she's running around ripping the the posters down

something's actually happening

and I thought it was really interesting, the white Mano was the evil one, rather than the black Mano
the sunset is stunning!

it totally showed Mano in a different light (pardon the pun xP)

S/mileage

hmm for S/mileage, I can't really choose which video left the strongest impression

I never really got into S/mileage, cause I guess their image was too young for me. 

I always think they're really little kids, but some of them are older than Mai!

but, I think their indies were really good (apart from their first one), they all had big budget pvs, with some sort of story

even now I'd prefer their indies to singles (with some exceptions)

I didn't really have a turning point, but if I had to choose

this song is seriously catchy!

it was like a 180 turn from ama no jaku (and I didn't like that)

and it's such a bigscale production, for an indie especially

ah I miss Yuuka and Saki

listening to this now, I'm reminded of how cute it is

Suki Chan comes pretty close

Buono!

as soon as I watched this video I was sold

this was my first H!P video ever!

I love everything about it, the sets, the fashion, the scenes loveeee

tbh a lot of buono's pv are impressionable to me

one of the best pv's ever!

another strong one is Rottara Rottara

since I didn't like this song before watching the video. I was addicted afterwards tho

the theme is so cute, and the dance

and I like the lyrics

there are many more impressionable videos

but for this post, I just focused on first impressions

do you remember the video that made you start liking H!P artists?
