"Their 20th single scheduled to be released on 6/3 will be Berryz Koubou's first double A-side! This time we discussed the new song & PV, and we will also bring you a report from the shooting of Rival, where the seven of them brought out their cute sides at the crafted cardboard set!"
"The whole set was made in cardboard - the café, the stage props, everything! Being surrounded with too much cuteness the members couldn't stop being excited. During the shooting (or rioting!?) band-esque scene the members showed off jumps usually only seen at live performances, as well as perfect synchronization. Not to mention the cute outfits. Between break time there were some playing with the hula-hoops, and some doing girls' talk at the café, or in other words they did whatever they wanted to. (lol)"
Saki: The PV for Rival is so fairytale-like (Märchen) I couldn't help but feel excited.
Miyabi: All of the props were made in cardboard!
Yurina: What surprised me the most were the insects assembling at the hot cake.
Momoko: Yeah! Kumai-chan and I were watching them mistaking it for the real thing.
Maasa: The instruments were almost impeccable~
Saki: I had a slight fright when I was paired up with the cardboard contrabass taller than myself.
Momoko: Don't forget about my keyboard. It's hard to believe it was made out of cardboard!
Risako: I think we might have been a little too excited.
Maasa: When I was swinging the guitar I broke off its neck...
Yurina: I made a hole in the drums. (lol)
Risako: Oh, and the close-ups are so cute! I bet guys will be all head over heels. (lol)
Chinami: I thought the same during my close-up shooting, "The PV this time is badass!"
Miyabi: With all kinds of emotions flying about, we couldn't even keep our eyes off each other. (lol)
Maasa: The melody in Rival is also very fitting of the world conveyed in the PV.
Chinami: Also with the style of the song in mind, it feels like it's been a while since we had a song with so much focus in cuteness.
Momoko: It's filled with girly emotions.
Yurina: I'm in complete agreement with this particular line~ "Whether I'm heading to work or school, I end up using my head picking clothes everyday"
Miyabi: I'm especially interested in this one (lol): "When wearing a suggestive skirt, the teacher got envious"
Risako: I end up smiling naturally during the "Go Go Fight" intro.
Berryz: Be sure to have just as much fun while watching the PV.
