PRETTY LITTLE BAKA GUY

アルバムレビュー

A companion video to the album of the same name, featuring lip-synched or live-in-the-studio clips for eight of its ten songs. Like Shonen Knife themselves, this doesn't take itself too seriously, with costume changes, stop-action photography, insertion of found footage, and varying camera angles. A lot of this is sung in Japanese, so there wouldn't be much point in matching the images with the words (which isn't an especially imaginative or entertaining device anyway, regardless of how often it's been used). The highlight is the clip for "Making Plans for Bison," in which the women rip their bright multi-colored guitars apart piece by piece without missing any of the soundtrack cues. Not essential, and not a bad souvenir for big fans of the group, though it may be hard to find these days.
