APINK - U You (MV Review)

AEGYO AT It's Finest!

This was my favorite song off the Secret Garden EP. It's well constructed and catchy. The melody is a high-line adorable thing filled with the girlish innocence that Aegyo tracks are known for, while at the same time having an energetic spunk that give the whole track a much more engaging feel than most of the other tracks on this release. It's just a fun song that's easy to sing along to.
Speaking of singing along, I loved the karaoke-sub aspect. The font was adorable and it was fun to attempt to read fast enough through them to keep up with the lyrics, though that may have just been me. Otherwise, the MV was just plain fun to watch. The girls goofing off could make anyone smile. It's not a terribly deep video, but it's not trying to be. All it's attempting to achieve is to make Pink Pandas, and other viewers alike, smile. Which I think it did perfectly. It's one of the only Aegyo-centered MVs this summer that didn't make me roll my eyes.

Also, I'm sorry about the sudden lag in posting. My 21st birthday was on Monday and this week has been full of festivities (and then with catching up on school-work ignored due to said festivities...). I have a back log that I'll be posting this weekend, and then I will be back on track and posting as releases are actually released.

I give this MV a 7/10: Me Gusta.

Very pretty.

        I don't have too much to say about this one. It's very pretty with great scenery shots and the girls all look absolutely beautiful, but . . . that's really it. Nothing actually happens. The song isn't the sort of thing to demand choreography, but it would have been nice for them to be doing something. I understand the standing still on-stage part, but for the MV there really should have been a story or something to watch unfold with the song. It really felt to me like I was watching a very pretty screen-saver, flashing up pictures of someone's vacation.
        The song is really pretty, but it doesn't demand a visual.
        Rather than calling this a real music video I think it should have been a special-release sort of thing, like Xiah's 11 o'clock thing. A one-take thing could have been really cool for this.

I give it a 2/10: Just not my thing.

Generic.

APINK is a cute group, I've accepted that. I haven't quite accepted that they're a generic cute girl group, let alone from CUBE because I keep hoping that CUBE has higher standards than that. Some of APINK's stuff has been really good, so I've been able to keep that hope alive.

This however is not some of that redeeming stuff. I like the sailor suits, and the bubble things in the background, but everything else is so prototypical it's painful. The song too, is just so blah and simple. There's a formula for generic cute and someone let CUBE's APINK team look at it before they made this. It's good, I mean it's catchy and simple and there's melodic movement and balance, it's just so . . . typical.

It's a solid release, I suppose, but I like to think I can hold CUBE to more impressive par.

3/10: I've seen Worse.
