Attack of the lions and Nana's tree obsession

AKB48 is back with their 35th single ''Mae Shika Mukanee'' and like last time, I will again review every song seperately. Today I will take a closer look at the Smiling Lions song ''Kinou Yori  Motto Suki'' which is the 1st B-side on every edition!


First off, what's with the name ''Smiling Lions''?? Sounds cute though xD
Secondly, the Owada Nana domination goes on with this!! Seriously, she is placed as center above Tentoumu Chu (minus Mako) and even Katorena and ANNIN, with the latter being normaly a senbats umember. (But she had to do her entry exam..) This truly has to be a gem to beat away every other pushed girl in every group.. Talking about pushed girls, this line-up ONLY consists of over-pushed girls from AKB, SKE, NMB and HKT. Which means all the different YOUNG kids of their representive groups. I think the only exception is maybe Yuria, because even though being pushed, to me she already seems like an established performer, while the other girls still lack a few things. But oh well, be prepared for the future of 48group!!

About the song, actually it's only a continuation of the other boring Undergirls songs. Already the beginning shows that it's one of these boring AKBish songs.. At least it isn't as boring as Kaisoku to Doutai Shiryoku and especially the last part of the chorus, the ''Suki sugitte~'' is pretty cute. It's definetely not a song I will listen to very often, but it is at least relaxing listening to it while writing this. xP
But let's come to the video now:


The first shot already shows who the center is, as Nana draws these lines (how's such a thing called??)


Annin and Yuria seem to be the next in the song ranking. And here they play Nana's friends. They say something like: Hurry up!


But Nana isn't finished yet..


And Annin and Yuria are alls like: Well, then we will go already.. Have fun and bye, bye!!
Nice friends :'D



But now Nana is all sad because of that.. These mean friends!!


But oh wonder, she finds a cherry blossom petal!! (the real Sakura song?)


And she turns around to this big tree!!
Wohoo, let the song begin!


Wow, a typical classroom scene.. that's so similar to all of their other PV's..



And Nana is all daydreaming about her tree..


Nana: I love that tree!


The clothes and especially the hat look so cute..


Yuria


Mio


Meru



Annin - she definetely looks very pretty here!


Miki and Uha with Katorena.. pushed girls everywhere..


Gaah, these two.. TOGETHER!!! Definetely my two favourites out of the line-up! :D
Nagisa and Nana!


Fuuko, Shuu and Sakura..
also a very cute part of the line-up :D


Meru looks so evil here..
Meru: Nana, what are you doing??


Nana: Eeh.. Nothing..


Oh, she draw a tree xD Her love for the tree continues!


And finally the last few girls.. Kanon, Haruppi and Miru.. Damn, Miru!!!! :D


A chorus dance scene in front of the school.. I've seen that before, too. And loot at that, there's the tree again!


I REALLY like these seifukus :D The skirts look so damn cute *-*


And Yuria looks also cute..


Meru IS evil!! She gives the drawing to the front..


Meru: *evil laugh* Look at Nana's drawing!
Miki: Oh!



And so everyone gives the paper to their neighbours.. Is that Shuu with the derp face?? xD



And the paper finally comes to Annin, who also looks pretty evil..


Annin: What's that??


Is that a smile??


Oh, Nana fell asleep.. xD


This looks pretty cute..


And the other members bring her out. But why are there suddenly so many line-makers?? o.O


Yeay, let's all grab one of them!!


And Annin smiles again..


I changed my mind.. Rena looks better with bangs xD


Somehow it seems that Mio gets pushed more that Meru lately? Or is it just me who thinks like that?



And Saruppi kind of disappear in this video..


Nana!!! :D


And THAT smile. Wow, Nana seems so happy..


What are they drawing??



Oh no, an evil teacher.. His face looks so funny xD


Hi there you two beauties! :)


OMG, they really drew a big tree! That's why Nana is so happy.. xD



They look just like a group of friends.. :)



Hehe, it must be pretty cold there..


Oh no! The teacher saw them!!




Yeay, they just run away..


And of course here we see Nana with again some Sakura petals..


And the tree :o


At last, Nana turns around and looks exactly into the camera, while the other girls are running away..
Wow, she really is a cutie!

Somehow I really got ''Kimi no koto ga suki dakara'' vibes from this song.. xD It definetely is a typical Undergirls... To me it seems like Annin and Yuria aren't really nice in the beginning as they were probably thinking about their later activities.. they probably didn't even notice they hurt Nana. But when they see her drawing, they realize it was wrong and draw the big tree. I don't know why Nana is obsessed with trees and Sakura petals though.. But this doesn't seem odd compared to Acchan eating them, right?? xD
Anyways, I really like the natural look of the PV and as I mentioned I REALLY adore the seifukus. They are just so damn cute *-*. The members don't do much except for looking cute, but that's fine. I think that the relaxing tone of the song really fits this kind of video, even though both aren't the most original in their discography.
