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.

I really like this one especially the set and the costumes (yeah I have a thing for clothing fringes lol). Doesn’t it reminds you of A Series of Unfortunate Event? You know the movie with the fabulous Jim Carrey, probably the atmosphere of the PV — dim lighting and color scheme. Though, the PV is very Truth-esque, it still has its own uniqueness. May I say that Nino looks smexy with that hair style?

Utterly cute and brilliant, ne?! Love the artistic and imaginative aspect, as well as, the dorky and genki Arashi. It also reminds me of the silly little things that the boys have done on AnS and the Honey & Clover anime opening. Both of which I love to bits. ♥♥ The ending was so hilarious, Riida had spun and got pushed. 6
