[4/16] Morning Musume。'14 56th single - Toki wo Koe Sora wo Koe / Password is 0

[Sohee]

Do you actually ever like anything? O_o

Personally I've already watched Password is 0 more times than Tokisora.
But, I'll end up listening more to Tokisora than to Password is 0 because I like the song more.

But PV-wise? With me as an audience, I like the simplicity, and yet fun/cool/fast thing they did with Password is 0. Too bad it doesn't work for everyone - but no matter what they did and how many millions they had to spend on whatever music video and a location on Mars or whatever, there would still be someone complaining so. Eh.

After watching both MV's I'm clearly in the minority (at least based on the fraction of the audience that bothers to post their opinions online) of not enjoying 'Toki wo Koe Sora wo Koe' at all (apart from the rather pretty MV) but loving every aspect of' Password is 0'.
I didn't get into idols for the slow mellow songs and ballads, which pretty much explains my preference.

Honest question to people who like Password is 0 pv, are you really not bothered by the incessant flashes of lights? at all?
I remember all the hubbub about 123-Wktk sparkles and glitters and those are not even a tenth as bad as this one. I admit that I've always been a bit sensitive to lights, more specifically to abrupt/extreme changes in environmental lighting due to natural sources or high intensity lamps. Although, it was never bad enough to bother me when playing games, watching a movie or anything on tv... until now.Trying to enjoy this pv with those effects in play is making me ill, physically.

So yeah, I don't think it's fair to dismiss criticism about this with what's basically "haters gonna hate".
For what it's worth I like simplicity too, that's why I have no problem with most H!P pvs , I just usually prefer it with more finesse and subtlety than throwing a shit ton of effects that distracts and obstructs from what you actually want to see. This really irks me because I watch pv's almost as much as I listened to just the song, looks like this time around I'll have to make do with live performances or dance shot ver.

No.

EDIT
Although I'm not sure what you mean by 'flashes of light'.

There's the words in the foreground and the effects in the background, but nothing I'd classify as a 'flash' that would make one blink.
At least I never did.

Tsunku's nephew upgraded his computer.

^Here's hoping he upgrades his copy of Photoshop 1.0 next.

Bright green/red jumbles that appeared on a huge part of the screen for less than a second on predominantly white background qualifies as "flashes of light" to me and it definitely annoyed me enough to make me sometimes lose track of whatever I was following before.

Have you ever been tested for epilepsy or other similar conditions? Serious question.

[randompasserby]

I've never been tested but I'm pretty sure I'm not. My sister however, is epileptic so I know a bit more than I wished about the subject from firsthand experiences.
At worst I only got headaches and/or tearing up for 5-10 minutes, I did consult with an optometrist about it a few times but nothing much comes off it (tired eyes, lack of sleep... the usual common diagnosis)
