Artist: CAFFEIN (Warning: slightly NSFW)
I can’t even recall the last time I’ve reviewed a VOCALOID PV (other than in the comments), so here goes nothing.
The Nostalogic PV (embedded above) is a collaboration between yuukiss (composer), Masataka-P (video editor), and Yumiko (cosplayer/dancer). Those in the know may recognize these names, so you can’t say they popped out of nowhere to make this happen.
Yumiko choreographed the entire dance in this video, and I seriously dig her moves. I like it when there’s a ‘flow’ maintained between scene ‘cuts’. While that ‘flow’ isn’t maintained throughout the entire video (at some points it’s a tad too jarring), it’s still enough to impress.
I know I’m not exactly a big fan of Meiko, but for some reason, I love this particular song. yuukiss did a good job on composing the music, and tuning Meiko’s voice so it fits nicely. It’ll probably be stuck in my head for some time now (which is a first for a Meiko song, hurr hurr).
Unlike his recent works (like his Chaining Intention PV), Masataka-P kept the video editing in this one relatively simple, which is a good thing.
Also, is that bearded man Masataka-P himself? I lul’d when he put on Meiko’s outfit at 3:00 (though I admit it may make eyes bleed).
I was surprised to learn that the video was shot in France; typically you’d expect a Japanese music video to be shot in Japan. I wonder what the French were thinking, seeing a cosplayer dancing in their streets. XD
As the title of this blog post implies, there is an earlier version of the PV. In fact, the song itself officially began production way back in September ‘07, and the first PV was uploaded only in June ‘09.
Unlike the latest one, the first PV only featured Yumiko in a single costume, and the video editing isn’t as refined either. The song was incomplete too (though it still sounded good).
Overall, the completed Nostalogic PV turned out to be pretty awesome. I applaud the three of them for pulling it off, and if you still haven’t clicked the play button, I recommend that you do and give it a go.
I promise it won’t disappoint.

Some part of the video focus on her boobs… Anyway the dance was alright but this is a slightly aged meiko but still this PV beat lots of other vocaloid or fan base PV. I like her dress too.

There’s a problem, I can barely hear the vocals out of everything else.
これまた・・・・懐かしいな。
えらく古いヤツだぞコレ。
