Song:
Okay, so the last thing I was expecting to do was write an review for this song... But I can't help it, this song is catchy and on repeat. Since I can't download (in my dorm room), I just have the youtube/veoh version playing. The song is very catchy like I said earlier. The song title means "Even Though We're Dating, it's Unrequited Love" taken from projecthello.com. The lyrics to the song are at that link too. I didn't think I'd like this song as much, but I like some upbeat cheery songs, this wasn't hard to like. Unrequited love eh? I guess I can sort of relate, but I did truly love my boyfriends at the time, or least they were really close to me. [Oh no, Henryyyyyyyy, I need another session! I swear you should be a shrink, but you won't be reading this so I guess you won't know about this. xD I would be surprised if you were reading this, cause that means I got you hooked to H!P. *grins evilly*] The main leads are the usual 3, Miyabi, Momoko and Risako, but what can do you? -.- However, I think the song needs more Captain. =D [Captain's the only one with only one solo line, while others have at least two!] Uhs... yeah... I have to admit, I think I only like this song because I can sort of relate to it and it is a reminisce to their first single, Anata Nashi de wa Ikite Yukenai [I Can't Live Without You]. That is the first song I heard from Berryz Koubou and I accidentily downloaded the video from Veoh too... T_T How? Well I subscribed to the video subs for Hello! Project songs and I didn't realize this song was downloading... of course after I heard this song, I was sort of hooked to Berryz Koubou songs... but once it got to some of the other songs, I fell out of Berryz's land and went into °C-ute land. But back to Berryz Koubou since this is a review about their latest single. Just trust me, this song is better than a few of their ballads they have been singing to.
Song Rating: 9
Video Rating: 7
Overall Rating: 8
Berryz Koubou Rating: -5 (Kidding! But like I said, I'm not much of a fan of Berryz Koubou anymore... So I guess I can give them at least a 6 on my ratings of songs and as a group.)

Promotional Video (PV):
The video has them in the clothes they wore for the covers and the clothes don't look that bad. The dance is pretty cute. Although the video is cheap, but not as cheap as the other videos that are using green screen. (*coughs*morningmusumeandongakugatas*coughs*) But what can you do? I have to admit, in the original version of the video, too much focus on Risako. And at the end it seems like they're flying to space? O.O Well, besides that, I prefer the dance shot version (and is listening to that version if I want to look at the video.) Thus, the video isn't that sucky, but I believe it to be too focused on Risako. *side note - Momoko looks old. @_@* Everyone looks really nice, even with Momoko's old look (x_X) The background of the video looks like those screens people use to go behind to change... *blinks* or those screens from when I went to take studio pictures. I don't know, it gave me that impression.
