Most of you probably know this by now, Ponytail to Shushu is full of bikinis. I personally have no problem with that, but the haters are definitely going to pick on it.The PV preview is below.
On first listen, with the low quality, the song was too boring for me. However with the HQ, it was instant win. The instrumental is awesome that I just looped it for the whole day! My favourite parts of the song is definitely the chorus. I love the overlapping voices. Best part of the PV has to be the scene where Yukirin fixed her hair in the wind (0:43 in the preview below). The full PV has been shown in the theatre and comments are that the start of the PV is dirty/erotic. It's not shown in the preview though so we will have to wait and see.

The setting is in the beach, in the evening before night. There's something like a bonfire in the PV. It is also in bikinis and is supposedly a sexy song.

No previews yet but we have some comments from a member of s48 who saw it in the Theatre. The setting of the PV was a soccer game. The PV begins with a girl (who was later revealed to be Harugon) running towards the football field in her school uniform. scene cut, and the same girl starts running from some place towards the camera. flashback, and the other girls are revealed wearing their soccer uniforms (blue shirt, normal numbers at the back, shorts).The main focus of the PV was Harugon, on how she tried her best to train, how her team was at the verge of losing, and after one foul, it was all up to her to save the day by a penalty kick. She failed to make a goal, and all the girls start crying, harugon breaks down, comforted only by Shimada Haruka. I guess the pv is all about trying again, and never giving up. The last scene of the PV is when harugon enters the football field once again, matching the very first scene of the PV.
