Rii has said that her favorite animal is monkey and that’s why she finds it so funny to make monkey facial expressions. If you have watched Rii’s Berryz Kobo DVD MAGAZINE 8 solo edition you know what I mean.
So these must be her lucky days because in BK’s latest PV Rii can play monkey as much as she wants to. She is even wearing monkey suit & make-up. You could say she looks cute but to be honest I prefer more Rii without that ugly brown saru outfit.
Talking about ourfits. In Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance PV Berryz girls have exceptional poor looking wardrobe. It’s not only monkey suits, it’s also those lamé hoodie + shirt + dress (or wahtever they are) outfits making girls look like bad decorated christmas trees or puffy sea buoys. I rarely criticize BK’s outfits but now I think it’s relevant. If this single’s target audience is children then I can understand outfits and all but for me this is too kiddy stuff. Does this mean that I’m a humorless person?
But that was only about outfits. The song itself is a good one, again. It’s a little bit wacky and extremely funny. I see it clearly as a follow-up to BK’s previous single Dschinghis Khan. Yuke Yuke is super catchy song and a good number for concerts. Lol! Seems that I love every new song Berryz are giving us.

Berryz Art – The real monkeys »« It was four years from now
2004 was a very busy year for a Hello! Project’s rookie group Berryz Kobo. It was BK’s debut year still with 8 members. During that year BK released five singles (Anata Nashi de wa Ikite Yukenai, Fighting Pose wa Date ja nai!, Piriri to Yukou!, Happiness ~Koufuku Kangei!~ and Koi no Jubaku) plus their debut album 1st Cho Berryz.
Group’s youngest member Risako was only 10 years old when BK’s first single hit the stores on 3rd of March. At that time oldest member Captain Saki was twelve. What a bunch of talented kids they were even in that age.
Following scans are from various magazines published between spring and late summer 2004. Sweet Berryz memories. The begining of another success story.

Do the Saru! »« Berryz Art – Oishii!
I havn’t posted these drawings made by Berryz Kobo girls for a while so now it’s about time to take a look for their most recent pictures.
This first drawing is from Chinami. I think they are having nice summer barbecue in dooryard. Do I see blue fish there? And is that girl with yellow mini skirt Chii herself??
Momoko tried cappuccino for the first time in her life. And she loved this milky coffee drink so much she made a drawing about it. Well, you can always ask how it can be possible that a 16 years old girl has not tasted cappuccino never before.

Buono!s Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Single V DVD is officially released today June 18th. I hope YesAsia is going to send it to me before the end of this week. It takes about one week to get it through but I’m so impatient that couldn’t fight agains my craving. With a little help from H!O tracker I got the whole thing a couple of days ago and already I have watched it through about five times.
This Single V is really worth of buying. It contains FOUR different versions of Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! plus Making of PV part 2. Besides original version there are Close Up, Dance Shot and Band Versions. The craziest version is of course the last one because there you can enjoy for example Momo’s ridiculous choreography with her red drumsticks. For God’s sake, give her a Tama drum set because she seems to like banging hard & loud.

Berryz Art – Oishii! »« Basket full of berries
A basket full of fresh sweet berries straight from the Berryz Field. I just love these kind of casual photographs where girls are off the sterile studio enviroments. As you can see the atmosphere there was more intimate and natural when these snaps were taken.
