Honest feeling. It's hard to form my opinion about this because it was too short…
Probably the reason why they didn't include drama part was because of the character of the song?
”
LOL What the hell***
”
Basically their dancing looked a bit awkward…
Is that supposed to be like this? Or because of Joseph's poor direction?
”
That's to be expected…
AKB48 new single UZA. Director for the MV is KOREAN Amaerican Joseph Kahn.
He is just another Korean guy….
”
I don't want to call him Joseph anymore. He is ジョセフｗｗ. (ｗｗ: scornful laugh)
”
Omg! I love this MV! This has the worldview!!!（*´Д｀）ﾊｧﾊｧ
”
↑You ate too much hamburgers…
”
As far as I can see from the image, it just looks like Thriller…. lol
”
I love the makeup! It suits the image of the song. Or do Idol Otaku hate this kind of direction?
”
↑It's not that I don't like the atmosphere of the MV.
But I believe Japanese has their own sense of beauty and every race has makeup that suits them the most. Their skin, texture of hair, whole mood….. and he even doesn't try to get the heart to the beauty of Japanese girls….
That's why I think foreigners who have no intention to understand Japanese culture other than Otaku subcultures shouldn't direct AKB48's MV.
”
I think….. Mayuy looks more…. uhmmm but yeah I think this has it's own uniqueness… Uhmmm
”
I think Mayuyu looks cool!
”
The makeup for Takamina and Jurina was also….. “loss for word”(´･ω･｀)
”
Maybe because the lighting was too dark, they put that weird and flashy makeup..?
”
Anyways, I think it's great to release this kind of MV at this timing when Halloween is approaching!
AKB48 can use this for their missionary work both domestic and overseas that they can do this type of song.
”
People on Jurina fan thread are unanimously raving this MV….
I think this type of tune really makes Jurina look standing out from the rest.
I can't judge the MV from such a short footage, but
I can surely say, Jurina's presence alone can beat all the rest
I hated gingham check but uuuhhh this actually looks pretty good, so far I’m loving the ballerina dance part. The gothic look I’m guessing was nicely timed to coincide with halloween
This is so cool! There you go Kahn! This is his real talent. Sugoi!
lol, it must be so hard for Yukirin, the reaction queen, to not change her facial expression while playing clown. She should be a professional actress!
btw, are they trying to say something by making Sasshi and Paruru as puppets? hehe just saying..
this is my personal view. though this PV looks cool, i think it’s not well-accepted by Japanese fans. of course, it’s not valid and can be argued but from the comments above, it seems so. i think Japanese fans have different taste with international fans when it comes to this thing especially idol-thing.
Although I love the dark lolita antique spooky attic theme, and the choreography was shot powerfully, I’m having reservations about the member pairings.
Paruru fits puppet so well that she overshadows Sashi, I didnt even know it was Sashi till I saw the still frames. Her puppet role doesnt require her to dance as advanced as Jurina, Takamina, Tomochin, and Yuko’s roles and closeups.
Ballet fits better with Milky’s emphatic dance style than Yuko’s energetic pop & lock method, so it puts Yuko at a disadvantage.
lol why does Yuko have gyaru lipstick and everybody else like Mayu gets the dark goth lips which definitely look better.
But overall I really really liked it! (sorry for nitpicking) Costumes and makeup were dramatic and made UZA more intense. Mayu and Yukirin’s scene together was so AWESOME, their expressions totally get across to the viewer.
and come on ppl, don’t bash him just because he’s of Korean descent, he probably gets plenty of that growing up in the states and trying to break into Hollywood entertainment industry which is notorious for its lack of Asian diversity and opportunities.
Hahhh the preview really was too short. But better than nothing!
I can totally understand that it depends on the person and partly of the culture you live in whether you like something or not. But I think these people are judging too fast. We should wait until the full video is out.
I think the setting and all fits the lyrics and genre of this song well. The dark makeup and outfits were adjusted to it and all in all I wouldn’t be able to imagine it in any other way even though I’m usually a creative person this realization is well thought over of Kahn!
But then again.. that’s only my opinion.
I understand different culture have different taste but the Korean comments aren’t necesary. I don’t like the girls’ lipstick colors tho but it fit the Halloween atmosphere.
Either way I’m excited <3
People are judging far too fast… Why this much hateful comments for a simple preview? Just enjoy as it is.
Personally, I’ve really like the thrilling atmosphere of this MV, and I think that this man Joseph Kahn has a great tallent. Girls seem different from usual, the song is awesome and totally opposite to the Idol concept thing and this uniqueness make me love this song more and more.
Regarding, the choreo, what can I say more than it is amazing? LOL
People are criticizing, don’t they even see the bruises on their knees? Guy, they are doing their best! <3
I hated gingham check but uuuhhh this actually looks pretty good, so far I’m loving the ballerina dance part. The gothic look I’m guessing was nicely timed to coincide with halloween
Oh wow, it looks really cool, now I’m really looking forward to it
I dig the preview a lot *__*
Can’t wait to see full *__*
now this is what I call “KAKKOII”
Remember “Everybody” by Backstreet Boys, also directed by Joseph Kahn. They had Frankenstein, mummy, Dr Jekyll, dracula, etc.
This is so cool! There you go Kahn! This is his real talent. Sugoi!

Lol, Paruru and sasshi are being manipulated by Aki-p? XD
Haha.. well in Majisuka Gakuen, Yukirin had to hold back her reactions, too~ 😀 I do see some potential as well. haha

I honestly can’t wait for the full video~
omg this PV gives me goosebumps, the good ones
lol at those racist comments, anyway, the PV looks cool, Tim Burton should make the drama version lol
UZA’s MV is too damn cool! yaay
