Hmmm...
I'm going to try and be constructively critical.
Motto Isshoni Itakatta: Seems like they were trying to go with the same directions as Sayonara Usotsuki/C-ute. It works well in the sense that Berryz seems mature but there's something lacking. I can't explain it well. But then again I thought that at first about Sayonara Usotsuki and now it's one of my favorite Berryz songs. I agree with everyone that they made some missteps with the styling but I don't think its a complete travesty. Minor tweaks in each outfit would've made it look a lot better.
Risako: Like everyone's said... The hat. That's mostly it with her.
Miyabi: I actually kind of like it. They just should've hemmed the dress shorter to make the dress look younger and less old lady. The pearls definitely don't help the old lady vibes the outfit gives off.
Momochi: I... actually really like her outfit. We got rid of the twintails (thank god) and while the dress is still in the vein of the dresses she typically wears on when she does variety, it's not obnoxiously so.
Chinami: It's not a bad dress, just kind of plain. Wish it was sleeveless/in a brighter blue. And the shoes are fug.
Captain: On her own? Flawless. As part of the group? Looks out of place. Her dress is the only frilly/girly/idoly looking one. Even Momochi's looks subdued.
Yurina: Pretty damn flawless. I like that they took advantage of the fact that a tall girl could effortless pulloff a jumpsuit.
Maasa: In theory, I like. I just don't like the print of the dress.
Also, woah at Rock Erotic. Absolutely amazing. Love the boy/girl aspect. And holy hell Captain. I agree she didn't get enough screen time.
Overall a huge step up in their game.
IMO
