alice nine. ~ Rainbows PV

The pv for the infamous 'Rainbows', the latest single by alice nine. just came out, and I have to say I was quite surprised at the actual LACK of rainbows in it.  After the slightly disturbing rainbow colored promotional posters, I think everyone was expecting something a bit more *sunshine, sparkles, and happiness!!* [in other words, something pretty darn gay...in a silly, good way of course, as alice nine. is wont to do].  However, the pv is still filled with strangeness, as to be expected from alice nine. (although it's nowhere near the level of the 'Blue Planet' pv)...Shou is sporting a ridiculous, but familiar-looking pair of glasses *cough*KanyeWest'sStronger*cough*, there are random treadmills in a sort of fashion runway made of light boxes, and it looks like Shou's t-shirt has DJ Ozma on the front. ^_^;  The stuttering effect sometimes put on their motion kind of bothers me though...it looks odd and awkward.

Basically, the pv kinda makes me laugh while simultaneously feeling like this: o_0, but I actually like the song better than some of their previous releases.  alice nine. are continuing to use electronic sounds in a nice way and the fact that pretty much every member had a little solo was cool (Hiroto and Saga's end solos were my favorites).  I think Shou's singing has gotten a bit smoother, although he seems to still need some work on his pitch and such...that sudden high note towards the end of the song was a bit weird.  Anyways, overall 'Rainbows' has a catchy, polished sound and is a good step forward for alice nine.
