I finally got to watching Clips-K today and it was pretty good. I didn't really like Be Shiny or The Pleasure of Love PV surprisingly, especially with The Pleasure of Love PV since I loved that song. The whole red satin thing kinda weirded me out and I kept wondering if he was on a bed or not... Kimeru wasn't sinking in anyway so I assume not but hopefully he had some sort of padding because it was that concrete floor, I would really feel sorry for him.

But watching those two PVs, I was again struck by what wonderful places they find to film him in. Kimeru is always in wonderful locations for his PVs and photo shoots that have so much character. When he was on the rooftop in The Pleasure of Love, gah, loved it!

I did notice one thing though. Kimeru moves A LOT. I knew this before and yet it really didn't bother me before. But it's like he moves in the same way in every time. Perhaps that's why I adored the LOVE BITES PV so much. KImeru is sitting down! Plus he's dressed rather snazzy so you have to love that as well. ^^ I thought it was wonderful to see a slightly less active Kimeru in a PV with slower motions. After two PVs where he's moving a good deal, it was a wonderful change. And I really do have a thing for the Kimeru in a chair. *laughs* I just think he looks really wonderful in a chair.

I have to wonder about the girl in the PV though... I thought she was a mannequin or some sort of painting in the beginning. It's hard for me to believe that such a visually dramatic person exists but it was pretty cool how they incorporated her into the PV.

The last PV on the DVD was probably my second favorite. I really LOVED the inclusion of the band in the PV. Before, it's always been just Kimeru (aside from that bit in Overlap) but in Koi no Performance, members of the band are there. I'm not quite sure they're really Kimeru's band members (I tried placing the faces, but I'm really bad at faces...). The song as always was wonderful since I've always loved Kimeru's Koi no Performance in the first place. Plus, I love the lighting work they did on it. I have a thing for good lighting and it made for a nice contrast in the large, empty hanger.

But what I'm really getting excited about? STYLE! the live performance of it was really great! I know I've been going about PVs this and PVs that, and I want more PVs whenever Kimeru came out with a new DVD, but I really did love STYLE. It sounds like a good song and I got to see Kimeru's sweet, innocent smile. What can I say? I melted. ^^

It was a good song. Is the single coming out in October STYLE? I feel like I should know this but for some reason, I'm blanking on it. I feel like it's not, which depresses me a bit. I really do like the sound of it. From what I hear of the song, it's not completely subdued and it's not completely upbeat... It's what I would call Kimeru's version of a more low-key soft song. And I've always gone wibbly over those of those songs. Ah, well, I can always rip the song off of the DVD and listen to that over and over again, right? Yay for bright ideas. ^^

This has really made me feel better though. I was really feel listless still from last night but this has pushed me out of my slump for now. I had a good long cry last night where I despaired over nothing and everything and I went to sleep on my thoughts from the night. I woke up feeling pretty bad still and I muddled my way through the DVD and it didn't cheer me up as much as I had hoped.

But now, talking about the DVD a bit, thinking about points that I liked, it reminded me of why I like Kimeru as well. And that has centered me a bit and I feel better than I have in the past 24 hours.

Oh, before I forget! Some uploads. I couldn't resist the chance to rip Kimeru's DVD as I do with all of this past DVDs and I've uploaded the ones I've liked. They're not really massive files, something I was happy about. It still amazes me to that I know how to rip DVDs. I remember it being a complete mystery when I first tried it out and then I found Auto Gordian Knot and everything mysterious just seemed to melt away to become this simple, efficient process. God, I love it when things go the way I plan. :)

Anyway, the downloads:

Kimeru - LOVE BITES PV
Kimeru - Koi no Performance PV
Kimeru - STYLE from TOUR 'BEAT PERFORMANCE'
