Arashi – Dear Snow PV and my thoughts on the song

Dear Snow PV – making of photo version

Kyaa~~ at the historical setting, I absolutely adore the integration, being a history freak. I wonder if this is the same one used in the movie. Though, I enjoyed the MS performance better, the boys are still handsome here. Jun-kun’s jacket adds a lovely touch of color to the PV. For some reason, Ohno reminds of a monk LOL…it’s probably the beads, but still nice.

Overall, this ballad is beautiful, quite bittersweet and emotional. I love the ending:

Eien ni kanawanai
We can’t wish for eternity

Sore demo itoshii hito yo
But even so, you are the person dearest to me

You can tell that I’m a sucker for angst love. Everyone has been complaining about the title of the song — where is the snow or it’s too early for Christmas? I do not believe this is for white fluff, but holds a deeper meaning, a metaphor. Snow probably symbolizes purity, innocence and virtue. The Ooku certainly is a place without these characteristics. No matter if it houses men or women, the place is tainted with greedy, hatred, and lust. I haven’t gone a chance to read the manga yet, but am positive that Mizuno Yunoshin (portrayed by Nino) and the shogun (played by Shibasaki Kou) do not have clean slates — hidden secrets, dark past, etc. It is possible that their encounter is life changing and invigorating.

Kakkoi and smexy as always! I love when they are able to show off their goofy charms in a performance, making it a bit more interesting.

I really like Oh-chan’s outfit…and yes, it’s because of the fringes. Nino should also style his hair like that more often, it’s so distractingly awesome! ♥

Kyaaaaaa~~The performance was amazing, doesn’t remind you a bit of Truth? The choreography and the set matches the Kaibutsu-kun theme quite well. The boys were dancing somewhat like zombies to the unique melody of the song…hehe. Also, when Jun-kun did a dance number on the floor, I was grinning non-stop. Love Oh-chan’s hair btw.
