Great video.. Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
I admit to buying this VCD even after watching four out of the six promotional videos included on this disc. Each of the four videos I've seen were taped from television in Japan when they were released. I didn't really expect anything new or shocking but after flipping on the first video, I was plesently surprised. To start off, the interface of the VCD is a simple, practical menu screen. Of course it's just a menu but the design was pretty darn snazzy. Included before each video is the track number, title and "preview" screens over a black outling. It's easy to use, looks nice and works well in every type of media player. Track zero [on most players] is Hiro's introduction "Going to the Future" from her album.. or at least part of it. Seconds after is when the real fun starts. The first full video on this disc is "As Time Goes By," which in the on air version from over a year ago, featured Hiro bopping on a stoop in New York City and wandering around aimlessly. For whatever reason or another most of this was cut out and the entire original "format" was changed. While some of the original footage is included, most scenes were cut out and replaced with a short "snippet" storyline where Hiro walks into a diner watching everyone pass in and out. Scenes of Hiro in an empty warehouse room overlooking Manhattan is also added. Personally, these changes were made for the better: the video is a -lot- more interesting than it originally was. Next is a new video based on one of her album songs, "In Season." This wasn't the best song on the album nor was it the most noteworthy. The song itself is pretty laid back and the video displays exactly that. Basically it features Hiro [with her new look] in a rural town, overlooking the ocean and various scenary. The use of camera angels and fade in's are aboslutely the best on the VCD. In many ways it reminded me of Uehara Takako's "Empty:" snazzy, low key and beautiful. You can really see how Hiro's grown up. Next is her second solo song [after "South Paw"] "Mitsumeteitai." This is definatly the funkiest and most energetic song on this disc. Basically it's various shots of Hiro dancing wildly in different outfits. Keep in mind this video was made during her days of SPEED so the dancing reflects just that. I really like this one. Did I mention it has its own intro? Next is the unforgettably sugar coated, "Bright Daylight." Hiro is obviously very young in this one and dances around in various "cute" outfits somewhere near the ocean. It's not the best video but it certainly wins the award for most spunky. The fifth video is probably her most well known song and her last single, "Treasure." This marks an unforgetable transition from "the cute girl from SPEED" to just plain, Hiro. The video is recorded in a studio set which is unusual to her videos. The film is simple: Hiro dances with two back ups in front of a glowing, red background and the scenes flash to herself in an elevator, on a couch and in some sort of blue "Star Trek" outfit. All in all it works -very- well and the "snake" dance she does is so damn cool. The last video is "Sweet Love" the featured track from her album. This is probably the most boring PV on the disc: it's Hiro roaming about New York looking at the various landmarks of the city. It's not a terrible video: it's just not that great either. Lastly, as in the true tradition of Toy's Factory, all of her main commercial clips for each single is included as a 7th track. Unfortunatly this VCD version does not include the special "making of" clip. In the end, "Brilliant on Films" is exactly that. In one swift triumph, Hiro manages to show us through the stages of her career as she grows up with just enough "mellow" and "energy" to pull the audience neither way and keep them right in the middle. I -highly- reccomend this VCD to ANY fans of j-pop and especially fans of true musical talent.
