Ok why am I so emotional after watching this?
But really, perfectly executed. The song had direct references to Wada. The dance shot was an obvious call back to Yume Miru 15. And the decision to center the entire PV around Wada’s perspective was perfect. Just an outstanding PV. I forget that H!P has really improved their PVs. During the platinum era and early colorful era the PVs were just so whatever. (Goes to show you how the recent success that has gone from Morning Musume to almost all the H!P groups now has really increased the budget.)
It’s so strange for me because when I became a fan, the four girls of s/mileage were in Shugo Chara Egg. I remember it being announced they would debut (and Akari was shafted and then new girls went to Shugo Egg including beloved Fukuchan) Now once again Fukuchan is going to replace her but this time as leader of H!P. What a world wind this fandom has been. I’m watching of the first things I experienced as fan play it’s self out again.
I got to see S/mileage live in Sakae, Nagoya right after they got new members for the first time and before Yuka left. They performed Taachiagirl. I was super close to the stage just by accident. It was a free event and I just happened to be in Sakae that day and heard the music.
Anyway I have a lot of love for s/mileage, angerme, and Wada. I’m glad she’s being given such a proper tribute and a proper farewell. She’s turned out to be a great leader.
